Wedding photography at the Criminal Justice Center in Sanford

Don't let the name stop you. The criminal justice center in Sanford is a beautiful location to get married in Seminole County.

This building itself is beautiful with one caveat—the ceremony room.

The ceremony room isn't really fit for purpose. They've put up a floral backdrop which is a touching attempt at making a lovely space to get married, but it's very wrinkly and not great if you're concerned about the aesthetic of your ceremony photos.

However, this is a courthouse that allows you to opt for getting married outside!

"Because we invested in an amazing photographer, people who weren’t able to attend thought we had a traditional, expensive wedding!"

A wedding? In this economy?

The average cost of a traditional wedding in Central Florida is $28k

The couples I surveyed paid around $1.6k for their courthouse wedding...including photography!

Why should you consider getting hitched in Seminole County?

The Seminole County Courthouse is located in a quiet area of Sanford. Parking is free, easy, and right next to the building.

While the Orange County Courthouse is a great location if you want your photos to be city-style, Seminole is beautiful in a different way.

The courthouse grounds are very green with foliage and the building itself is attractive. There's a small green at the courthouse which makes a lovely location for photos.

Of course, if you have another spot in mind for photos after your ceremony, I'm up for a short drive to another place that feels special to you.

How do we spend our 2 hours together?

Most courthouse weddings are complete in 1.5 hrs but I give us 2 just in case.

Here's the flow of the day:

We arrive at the courthouse 5-10 mins before your appointment time
Go through security
Take a number and wait to be called to the window
Do your paperwork
Have your ceremony
Photos outside the courthouse

"Elizabeth exceeded our expectations. She is a joy to be around and made our family & friends feel very comfortable.

We are in awe of our pictures and can’t stop getting compliments. Elizabeth is kind, patient, and professional. She made the session stress-free and brought our vision to life.

She is people-centered and cares about providing exceptional service. Another plus is the quick turnout time given the amount of work that goes into edits."

Why do couples choose a courthouse wedding?

As Florida's busiest courthouse wedding photographer, I've been studying the trend to better understand why couples choose to get married this way. A majority of my clients say the top reason for their choice is lower cost.
