Harry P Leu Gardens is arguably the most beautiful outdoor location near Orlando, FL for engagement and wedding photos.

Sprawling over 50 acres, this botanical paradise is named after Harry P Leu who originally owned the homestead and gardens. Mr Leu loved tropical plants and would bring them back to add to his gardens, from all around the world during his travels.

In 1961 the Leu family donated the entire plot to downtown Orlando where it has been shared with the public ever since.
