“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” –Anne of Green Gables

So are we—especially when October is widely regarded as the most popular month of the year to get married! Given the cozy vibes of comfy sweaters, crisp leaves, and steaming cups of pumpkin spice lattes, it’s no wonder that the most heartwarming month of the year is an ideal time to tie the knot.

However, a fall wedding in Florida puts the “warm” into “heartwarming”. With hurricane season in full swing, daytime temperatures in the 80s-90s, and not an orange leaf in sight, planning an autumnal wedding in the Sunshine State can be a very different experience from planning one in cooler climates. That being said, there’s a lot to love about a fall wedding in Florida: milder weather, stunning sunsets late into the evening, and year-round vibrant greenery.

If you’re planning a fall wedding in Florida, here are some essential tips to navigating the Sunshine State’s unique autumn climate—and ways to maximize the fall vibes no matter the temperature outside.

We shot our first wedding at The Cottage on Lake Fairview in Orlando, FL back in summer 2023, so when we heard this venue had recently undergone new ownership and a fresh renovation, we couldn’t wait to visit again! Lately acquired by local hotspot Quantum Leap Winery, this quaint vintage cottage has been transformed into a modern urban winery wedding venue without losing any of its original charm. With a stunning lakeside wedding ceremony view and an indoor wedding reception space that gives all the Great Gatsby vibes, we love the new changes to The Cottage on Lake Fairview and can’t wait to share the details with you!

‘Til debt do we part?

Recently the topic of going into debt to pay for your wedding has taken social media by storm. Countless TikTok videos and Instagram posts have flooded our algorithms with brides sharing the cold reality of paying off wedding debt once the honeymoon is over, with many taking on additional jobs and delaying their dreams of traveling or buying a home.

We personally avoid debt whenever possible in not only our personal lives but also our business, and we often speak this same value to our wedding photography clients. We never want a potential bride or groom to feel a need to go into debt simply to pay for our wedding photography services, nor do we think that going into debt to pay for a wedding has to be the new norm.

So is it really possible to get married without going into debt? We say yes—and we’re here to share a few helpful tips to saying “I do” without the debt.
