Just got back from planning a spectacular destination wedding in Orlando, Florida! Everything was magical, down to the beautiful couple, their family and out-of-town friends!

The ceremony and reception were held at the gorgeous Omni at ChampionsGate under the supervision of the onsite coordinator, Jennifer Smith. Tommy with Greenery Productions turned the ceremony site and reception ballroom in to an eye popping romantic design with the use of many colors and candles to ignite the passion. Ricky Vasquez was the DJ who did a great job keeping the guests entertained and the evening flowing along with additional activities provided by UBooths. Rhodes Studios captured all the elements of the day starting with preceremony coverage until the end of the night through photography and videography.

Congratulations to Lori and Ben! Below are a few images from the day...
