Wedding Pictures at The Terrace Hotel, Lakeland, Florida
I’ve photographed weddings throughout Florida and beyond but somehow one of my favorite locations is always nice to come back to for another wedding client.
This day brought me back to be the photographer for a wedding at the Terrace Hotel in Lakeland, Florida just across the street from Lake Mirror.
The location is simple enough, small hillside, nice seating area for guests, and a lake. But if you have been here before and really taken the time to scout the location you would find that the best bridal shots in Lakeland are taken at dusk on the lake.
So, needless to say I took the now happily married couple down to the lake just after shooting the ceremony and the formal pictures following the wedding. With some quick lighting to setup I was ready to shoot in under 5 minutes. I posed them, checked my lighting and fired off about 30 pictures. They all came out beautiful and I am really excited about showing the newlyweds these great pictures.
As for the Terrace Hotel, it was a great reception but for the 2nd or 3rd time running, their staff was less than accommodating, a little rude and overall just not fun to work with. I left a message for a wedding coordinator there following the wedding but never heard back.
So, great location for pictures but as for the Terrace Hotel, I’d think twice before having my reception there.
