Orlando Wedding Photographer Lori Barbely :: Wedding Photography in Central Florida and Destinations Worldwide bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm Lori Barbely, an Orlando wedding photographer who also does a ton of travel photography! Destination wedding anyone? I absolutely love what I do and am blessed with amazing clients who become great friends.

This blog is a great place to keep up with the craziness that is my life. See sneak peeks from my weddings and portrait sessions as well as photo blogs from my travels. And in the mix you'll find a whole lot of silly! So sit back, grab a snack (preferably something chocolate!) and enjoy the ride. And while you're at it, leave me some comment love!

Special thanks to Yanman Photographers for capturing great images of the night and to Anavi Ink for designing the adorable logo!

March 1, 2010 - 12:01 PM Jessica - We had such a blast! I wish I had thought about doing a photobooth before we got married! And if I had realized how cool a harpist could be, I would have had Christine play at our wedding! Big City did a great job with the fair food, and it was great to see Vicki and Rev. Glynn again! :) This all makes me want to throw a big party and work with all my favorite vendors again!

Jess + Randy’s Trash the Dress :: Rockabilly

So thanks to the winds of doom, we rescheduled the second part of Jess and Randy’s trash the dress. It was well worth the wait as we headed downtown early(ish) on a Sunday morning to snag these fun rockabilly shots!

SPCA of Central Florida 2010 Paws in the Park

$160,000. That’s a lot of money raised to help animals in need. And despite the cold (and I do mean COLD!) weather last Saturday, a ton of people came out and supported the SPCA and raised all that money! Every year I’m honored to be a part of this great event and I’m especially thankful that this year my dear friend – and amazing photographer – Suzie Seagraves was there to help me out!

Glaciers and good times. Snow Magazine used this shot that I took in Iceland (before we dumped our snowmobile) as the opener to their Flurries section in the Spring 2010 issue. I love the layout!

Jess + Randy’s Trash the Dress :: Boho Chic :: The Outtakes

Jess gave me permission to post these hilarious outtakes from her and Randy’s ridiculously windy trash the dress shoot. She’s such a good sport!

How's my hair? Good? I thought so.
