Romantic Kraft Azalea Garden Elopement | Orlando Elopement Photographer
If you're dreaming of a romantic and intimate elopement in Central Florida, Kraft Azalea Garden in Winter Park is one of the best elopement spots in Orlando. As an Orlando elopement photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless love stories, but this particular elopement at Kraft Azalea was something truly magical. Nestled along the shores of Lake Maitland, the garden offers huge cypress trees with hanging moss, golden hour sunlight, a unique ceremony site; an exedra which is a semicircular architectural patio with ancient Roman and Greek columns. Full of peaceful vibes that make it perfect for couples who want a serene, nature-filled ceremony.
