5 Orlando Wedding Venues We Love for Stunning Photos and Film

In and around Orlando, there is no shortage of beautiful places to get married. Garden settings, grand ballrooms, waterfront resorts, and contemporary event spaces all offer something different. With so many possibilities, choosing the place where your wedding day will unfold can feel like a big decision. Because it is.

Your venue becomes part of your story. It shapes the way your day feels, where your guests gather, and the surroundings you will see every time you open your wedding album or watch your film.

As a photography and videography team, we have the privilege of experiencing these spaces alongside our couples. We notice where the light falls, how the celebration moves from one space to another, and where you can slip away for a few portraits together. Here are five Orlando wedding venues we love, with a closer look at what each brings to your day.

Rosen Shingle Creek

If you picture an elegant celebration with room to enjoy Florida’s natural beauty, Rosen Shingle Creek brings those elements together beautifully. The golf course and surrounding landscape give the property an open, peaceful feel, while its ballroom spaces create a completely different atmosphere for the celebration indoors.

One of our favorite reasons to step outside here is the sunset. When the weather and timing cooperate, the light across the golf course creates a beautiful setting for portraits. It is also a chance to pause together before returning to your guests. We love building that breathing room into a wedding timeline so portraits feel like part of your day rather than another appointment.

Inside, the two-level ballroom setting adds height and dimension to the imagery. The contrast between the outdoor landscape and the scale of the interior gives your gallery and film variety while keeping the celebration on one property.

Onsite guest accommodations are another benefit, especially when loved ones are traveling to celebrate with you. We have captured both photography and videography here, including Haley and Peyton’s and Ivy and Todd’s weddings. If aerial coverage is part of your vision, drone use requires advance authorization at Rosen Shingle Creek, so bring it into the planning conversation early.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

There is something about a tropical waterfront setting that invites you to slow down. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort pairs that relaxed atmosphere with the excitement of being close to the parks, making it especially appealing for couples who want Disney to be part of their wedding experience.

The resort’s monorail stop makes getting to Magic Kingdom convenient. For guests extending their visit, that connection can help turn your celebration into a vacation they will remember long after the wedding.

From our perspective behind the camera, the tropical surroundings and waterfront views give this property its personality. The setting lends itself to portraits that feel warm and relaxed, while you  take center stage.

We joined Mary and Corey here for a one-hour elopement through wedding planner Just Marry! Their celebration is a lovely reminder that meaningful wedding coverage does not have to begin with a full-day event. With an intentional plan, even a shorter celebration can leave room for the ceremony and portraits you will treasure. Drone coverage is not permitted here, so we plan around the perspectives available from the ground.

Winter Park Events Center

Winter Park has a charm all its own. Brick streets shaded by mature oaks, local boutiques, and afternoons spent exploring the restaurants and museums around Park Avenue make this corner of Central Florida a lovely place to gather for a wedding weekend. For couples who want their guests to experience more of the area, there is plenty here to turn a celebration into a memorable stay.

Within that setting, Winter Park Events Center brings a fresh, contemporary feel. Its distinctive architecture and dramatic windows make an impression from the moment you arrive. We love how the light and architectural details give us different ways to photograph and film the day, from portraits that take in the surroundings to quieter moments focused on just the two of you.

We have loved capturing weddings here, including Andrew and Philip’s and Angel and Eddie’s celebrations. Each couple brings their own energy to the space, and that is what we want you to see when you look back at your images. We’ll help you find beautiful light and guide you through portraits so you feel comfortable and know what to do. The result is a collection of moments that feels like you, with a setting that is unmistakably Winter Park.

Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate

If your ideal wedding includes bringing everyone together without the need to travel between event locations, Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate deserves a place on your list. With guest accommodations, resort amenities, and multiple ceremony and reception spaces on-site, you and your guests can enjoy the celebration in one place. 

That variety gives couples room to consider the atmosphere they want for each part of the day. It also creates opportunities for different portrait settings without building the entire schedule around travel between separate venues.

Our experience here includes filming Nick and Jonnie’s wedding. Through video, we look for the details that connect the setting to the celebration: the surroundings that establish where your story takes place, the movement between moments, and the people who make it yours.

At a larger resort, thoughtful timing matters. When choosing your event spaces, consider the distance between getting ready, your ceremony, and your reception. Leaving room for those transitions helps your coverage feel unhurried and gives you more space to enjoy what is happening around you. We work those details into the conversation so your film reflects the experience of being there.

The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes offers an elegant setting for couples who want a celebration that feels personal and thoughtfully cared for. The luxurious property, attentive service, and lakeside surroundings provide a beautiful foundation, whether your vision is understated or elaborate.

We especially love the sunset over the lake. When the light softens, the waterfront becomes a romantic place to step away for portraits. Those quieter moments can feel particularly meaningful during a day filled with people and activity, and they often become images you return to for years.

There is also room to explore distinctive ways to celebrate your traditions and personalities, with the venue team guiding what is possible. One memorable example from our work here was an elephant entrance during a Baraat, which our team captured through drone videography in collaboration with Hello! Florida.

You can see more of that celebration in our wedding drone videography guide. It offers a closer look at how aerial footage can preserve the scale and energy of a moment. Any special entrance or drone coverage needs its own planning and approvals.

Choosing the Orlando Wedding Venue That Is Right for You

Each of these Orlando wedding venues offers a different way to experience your celebration. You might be drawn to golf-course sunsets, tropical waterfront views, lush gardens or the lines of a contemporary building. Think about which surroundings feel like you, how you want to spend time with your guests, and the moments you most want to remember.

At Cona Studios, we bring experience working at these properties and relationships developed along the way. We know favorite photo locations, understand the equipment different settings call for, and coordinate current access and coverage requirements with the venue. That preparation allows us to offer calm direction while leaving room for your day to unfold naturally.

Whether you choose one of these five properties or another venue in Central Florida, we would love to hear what you are envisioning. Connect with Cona Studios to discuss your wedding photography and videography and how we can help you preserve the moments that matter most.
