Nestled in the heart of Lakeland, Florida, Hollis Gardens proved to be the perfect backdrop for a recent wedding I had the pleasure of photographing.

The ceremony took place in a gazebo adorned with delicate flowers and surrounded by the natural beauty of the gardens. The bride, radiant in her white gown, walked down a flower-lined aisle, accompanied by the sweet melody of live music. As the couple exchanged their vows, the soft sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow on the joyous occasion.

The reception, held in a charming pavilion within the gardens, was a celebration of elegance and joy.
