The perfect blend of timeless Southern elegance & refined sophistication
Some wedding venues are beautiful. Others completely shape the experience of your wedding day. Luxmore Grande Estate is one of those rare places that does both.
Nestled in Winter Springs, Florida, just outside Orlando, Luxmore blends timeless Southern elegance with a refined aesthetic. From crystal chandeliers and Brazilian hardwood floors to beautifully landscaped gardens and thoughtfully designed interiors, every space feels intentional.
As a Central Florida wedding photographer, I've photographed weddings throughout the region, and Luxmore continues to be one I look forward to returning to. Every room offers a different experience, allowing me to create wedding galleries that feel layered, timeless, and full of variety while giving my couples the opportunity to stay present and truly enjoy their day.
If your style is inspired by Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and timeless estate elegance, Luxmore captures that feeling beautifully. It feels regal without being intimidating, sophisticated without feeling formal, and elegant without ever sacrificing warmth.
about Luxmore Grande Estate
Originally built as a private estate, Luxmore Grande Estate has been transformed into one of Central Florida's premier wedding venues while preserving the character and charm that make it so special.
One of my favorite things about Luxmore is that it never feels like a traditional event venue. Instead, it feels like you're welcoming your favorite people into a beautifully designed private estate where every room becomes another chapter in your wedding story.
The Grande Ballroom is the centerpiece of Luxmore Grande Estate, with soaring ceilings, Austrian crystal chandeliers, Brazilian hardwood floors, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows that fill the room with natural light. Beyond the ballroom, the estate offers several distinct spaces for portraits and gathering throughout the day: the intimate Estate Room with its romantic fireplace, the Lux Parlour and Library with plush seating and built-in shelves, and the brick-paved Jesup Garden and Patio surrounded by manicured landscaping with a white wedding arch. Upstairs, the Lux VIP Suite is one of the largest bridal suites in Central Florida, with dedicated hair and makeup seating, a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the grounds.
The centerpiece of the venue, the Grande Ballroom features Brazilian hardwood floors, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and a Chicago speakeasy-style Brunswick bar. It comfortably accommodates up to 160 guests for indoor ceremonies and receptions.
The staircase is one of Luxmore's signature features. Whether it's your entrance, romantic portraits, or timeless family photographs, it creates elegant imagery that never goes out of style.
If I had to choose one favorite location at Luxmore, it would be the elegant Estate Room centered around the fireplace. This intimate, romantic room is frequently used for smaller ceremonies, cocktail hours, or dessert and lounge spaces. The soft window light, warm textures, and timeless architectural details create the perfect setting for bridal portraits that feel calm, refined, and worthy of becoming family heirlooms. To see some examples of bridal portraits in the Estate Room, take a look at this blog post from the Luxmore featuring my work.
One of Luxmore's hidden gems is the Lux Parlour featuring its iconic floral wallpaper. While many photographers head outside for groom portraits, I almost always begin here. The wallpaper, elegant trim work, and natural light create editorial portraits that instantly elevate the gallery. With rich wood paneling, built in shelving, and dramatic window light the Library is cozy, elegant room designed for cocktail hours, or a relaxing lounge area.
Located upstairs, this is one of the largest bridal suites in Central Florida. It includes seating for hair and makeup, double doors, a large walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the grounds.
Featuring a beautiful fountain outdoor, brick-paved patio is surrounded by a lush, manicured garden. It and serves as a popular outdoor ceremony and mingling space.

Luxmore Grande Estate also offers intimate ceremony experiences available Monday through Thursday, a beautiful option for couples who want the estate setting without a full wedding day experience. These two-hour celebrations are designed for couples who are intentional about creating a refined, meaningful experience for a smaller guest count, and pair perfectly with my elopement photography collection. If you're considering something more intimate, I'd love to help you build a day that feels just as special as any full wedding.
