Michelle Vila Photography Boutique photography specializing in weddings, events, portraits, and bo***ir ♥️
Orlando and all of Central Florida!

My name is Michelle and I have been photographing weddings for over 14 years. I graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 2012 with best portfolio and had the opportunity to study under and intern with South Florida's best photographers. I've been eating, breathing, and sleeping wedding photography since I had my first opportunity in 2008. My family and I moved to Orlando in 2020 and

love the change of environment. About the Company: Minerva Photography is a boutique photography service operation based in Orlando, Florida that specializes in all things wedding related. We are described as boutique because we're a small, specialized business perfecting the art and customer service revolved around photographing your special day. Due to the limited amount of weddings conducted per year, we are able to concentrate on each couple's desire individually with nothing falling through the cracks of a larger business. Providing guidance, assistance, encouragement and beautiful photographs for your forever memories is what I do.

🎄 Holiday Magic in the Heart of Winter Garden 🎄

There’s something truly enchanting about the festive season in Historic Downtown Winter Garden. From the twinkling lights to the charming brick-lined streets, it was the perfect backdrop for this stunning evening holiday portrait session.

The warm glow of the lights paired with the joy of the season made every frame feel like a scene from a holiday movie. These moments capture the true magic of the holidays—love, laughter, and the beauty of togetherness.

📸✨ If you’re dreaming of holiday portraits that feel timeless and magical, I’d love to help you create memories to cherish forever!

🌿✨ Love in the heart of nature ✨🌿

I had the absolute joy of capturing Allie and Blake’s engagement session at one of my favorite hidden gems: Kelly Park Rock Springs! The tranquil morning light, the crystal-clear water, and the lush greenery created the perfect backdrop for their love story.

This spot is a photographer’s dream—it’s peaceful, stunning, and truly showcases the beauty of Florida. Allie and Blake’s chemistry made every shot effortless, and their laughter echoed through the park, making it a magical experience.

📸 Ready to plan your engagement session? Let’s create unforgettable memories together at Kelly Park Rock Springs or another location that speaks to your story!
