A few of our most frequently asked questions as a wedding photographer at The Alfond Inn
Where do you recommend taking our family portraits?
We always suggest to take into consideration lighting for the best photographic results. That being said, depending on what time your ceremony plans to end, the answer will vary. A safe bet would be the courtyard. Not only is it shaded for a good portion of the day, it's a gorgeous backdrop.
What time should we schedule our ceremony to begin?
A good rule of thumb is to begin your ceremony approximately 2 hours before sunset. This way you can tie the knot and then begin the section of photos such as family portraits, bridal party and last but not least - newlywed photos! We can go over this during the planning process.
Is The Alfond Inn a good venue for both intimate and larger weddings?
Absolutely. Whether you’re planning an intimate garden celebration or a full ballroom reception, The Alfond Inn accommodates both beautifully. The venue has a way of feeling luxurious and welcoming no matter the size of the guest count.
How long should we plan to take newlywed portraits?
This section of your photography timeline is arguably the most important. That being said, you will most likely need to plan to not attend cocktail hour. We know that's probably no the news you were hoping for, but trust us - it's worth the sacrifice! Plan for at a minimum of 25 - 30 minutes to get those most crucial sweetheart photos of just the two of you during the golden hour before sunset.
What are the best photo locations around The Alfond Inn?
Some of our favorite spots include the courtyard, the grand staircase, the rooftop spaces, nearby Rollins College, and the charming streets surrounding Park Avenue. One of the best parts about The Alfond Inn is how many editorial-style backdrops are within walking distance.
