Katy + Connor | Wekiwa Springs | Apopka, Florida

When you think of Florida, there is a good chance the first thing that comes to mind is either, Disney, the beach, hurricanes, or a crazy Florida man article. If you are one of these people, let us drop some knowledge of something you might not know! Florida is home to more than 1000 natural springs, one of which being the Wekiwa Springs, located just 20 minutes outside of Orlando. For us this place is more than just the 42 million gallons of crystal clear water its predominantly known for. If you walk 2 minutes away from the springs, you are immediately surrounded with one of the most biodiverse walking trails in all of Florida. With all that being said, if you are a lover of nature like our sweet couple, Connor and Katy, then we HIGHLY recommend adding this to your list of potential spots for your engagement session, heck any session!

We always like to start our sessions at Wekiwa, with a little walk through the lush trails that connect the two sides of the park. This is honestly our favorite part because as you’ll see, its got one of the coolest tree lines in the state and It makes for some really iconic photos, and we just can’t ever pass it up. After our walk, and for total transparency, being bitten by some of the most insane insects you’ve ever seen, it was time to take a dip in that beautiful spring water. And in Connor and Katy’s case, full blown leap of faith like the true legends they are!

This session was so damn good, we have no choice but to put this in our Oi Hall of Fame. And again, if you are looking for a rad place not just for a photoshoot, but just to check out and enjoy, don’t sleep on Wekiwa Springs, it’s absolutely worth the visit!
