Hire a Photographer for a Photoshoot in Orlando

The Best Time of Year to Visit Orlando, USA

Disney World is pretty much synonymous with Orlando, Florida for both children and adults, but believe it or not, there are heaps more to do than visit all the unbelievable amusement parks and water parks. Do they need much more than that? Probably not, but just to make sure you keep coming back, Orlando has organized hundreds of events and festivals all year long, and why not? The temperatures can certainly support long days in the outdoors anyway.

Here’s what to expect during each of Orlando, Florida’s bustling seasons, and don’t forget to book your professional photographer before you arrive! In case you’re late on the date, no worries, some of the best photographers in Orlando will be waiting for your order!

Visiting Orlando in Spring

For many North Americans living on the East coast, Orlando, Florida comes as a big time winter relief. Especially in early spring, when the sun is shining in their states, but that cold winter rush isn’t quite ready to step aside and allow warmer temperatures to spread over the land.

Fortunately, there is more to Orlando than just its warm spring weather. Most people visit Orlando with the sole intention of visiting Disney World. So, if you’re traveling with your family you’ll have no choice but to head over to the parks with an Orlando photographer and curate an unforgettable day for your kids, which they will cherish for years to come. And guess what? Even if you’re not traveling with children you’ll want to go check out The Big Easy bead-tossing parade for Mardi Gras, with live music, apparently all month long! Plus, since it is springtime, you’ll be able to witness The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival where all the Disney characters in Disney dress up for the occasion, you can eat farm-to-table lunches and dinners and listen to live music on the weekends. So, if you’re celebrating an engagement you may want to consider booking an Orlando photographer for your day of magic in bloom. This year’s photos will certainly stand out from the rest!

But, we’re not done here, in mid-March Legoland Water Park finally reopens to welcome in the warm weather. For a more unique experience book a Wild Florida tour, where you can tour through the Florida wetlands. You’ll have the privilege of boating through protected swamps, marshes, and rivers of the Central Florida Everglades. For a romantic getaway, spend the week on Wekiva island, where you can rent a cabana with a grill, go kayaking or canoeing and enjoy the nature around you.

Visiting Orlando in Summer

No matter how hot the temperatures get, there will still be plenty of activities for you to fill up your days and nights with, in or outside of the water! You’re not going to believe this, but you can actually rent a boat that comes with a BBQ! You are in the south after all, what did you expect?

We won’t be surprised if you book your trip entirely around water theme parks. You can choose between Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Universal’s Volcano Bay to start with the main ones. Then you’ll want to spend some time getting to know Orlando’s unique wildlife. Hire a private photographer and spend the day at Gatorland, make sure to ask your Orlando photographer to send you the wildest photos to your Instagram! You can also check out the Discovery Cove Orlando, and then go hiking in Ocala National Park for a full day’s worth of activities! 

If you’re there for Independence Day, you’ll be happy to know there are tons of events to celebrate, and of course, fireworks! There are several night clubs for dancing to live music during the summer, where you can catch blues events, live jazz, Cuban music after making a stop at La Cava del Tequila, if you need some help getting into the warm spirit, plus delicious Mexican food to boot! Then, of course, you can visit Orlando’s museums and galleries if you need a mid-day sun break in Loch Haven Park. For more indoor activities, head over to the Kennedy Space Center as a treat for any space lovers in your group.

Visiting Orlando in Autumn

Autumn may be the best time to visit Orlando, or at least when it comes to the temperatures. One of the many festivals you’ll have to check out is the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, which includes live music of course.

Moreover, with autumn comes all the Corn Mazes in the nearby local farms, which always makes for a great photoshoot, if you haven’t already used up all your hours with your private Orlando photographer while hiking through Wekiwa Springs State Park, where the temperatures are just about perfect for camping and spotting many animals running wild in nature.

If you’re in Orlando during October, then you won’t have to worry about missing out on Oktoberfest, where you can get a taste of German culture, but more importantly German beer, which goes really well with the Orlando Autumn heat. 

Since the temperatures may be even warmer than the summer you’ve experienced, you’ll still have a chance to catch a wave at the Orlando Watersports Complex. You can choose to spend your hours in the Aquapark or try out a water sport to burn off all those Florida delights which are nearly impossible to ignore. And finally, if you’re around for Halloween, Magic Kingdom throws a Halloween bash for children, or catch the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort for a daring scare. 

Visiting Orlando in Winter

The good news is, you may not even notice it’s actually winter in Orlando, the better news is, there are tons of affordable photographers on standby, ready to join you on your day’s adventures through your Orlando vacation of fun and thrills.

If you’re traveling with children, or just love aquariums, spend the afternoon in Orlando’s SEA LIFE aquarium and then make your way to LEGOLAND® Florida, for their Christmas celebrations. You won’t be disappointed with their grand Christmas tree and LEGO Santa. Legoland isn’t the only place you can catch the holiday fun, but the Kennedy Space Center also has its own Christmas celebrations in store for you and your family. One of their best events is their kinetic light show. If you’re traveling solo or with a partner, take an airboat to tour the Everglades, but only if you can stand a face to face encounter with Orlando’s alligators. Your personal photographer will certainly be used to their local pets. 

Busch Gardens is another destination that should make it onto your holiday vacation list. There you can have your portrait taken among their holiday Christmas Town, visit Santa’s house and of course, shop for holiday gifts. If you’re planning to hire a proposal photographer for a romantic evening, you’ll be happy to know that after a romantic terrace dinner you can go ice skating among a fantastic Holiday Light Show at the CEF Arena. All of these options are, of course, options for those days in between your Disney World adventures.
