I’d been looking forward to Heather and John’s Grand Floridian wedding since we met them for their engagement session around Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. I think in all the weddings we’ve photographed, I’ve never seen a man so ecstatic about marrying his wife. I mean, our grooms are always excited and in a good mood, but John literally had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen plastered on his face every second of the day. His attitude was so infectious that I couldn’t help but feel overcome with joy myself, despite being the most sick I’ve ever been photographing a wedding.
The hardest thing about this job is you can’t exactly call in sick. Lucky for me, our pal Maxine was Heather and John’s wedding planner, and she made sure I had everything I needed, even bringing me hot tea at the reception. <3 If I’m gonna photograph a wedding sick, I sure as heck hope it’s a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding!
I’ve still never met another “Jensey,” but Heather’s bridesmaid “Jincy” was possibly the closest I’ll ever come to meeting one! I heard my name being said all day, something I’ve never experienced before! :)
Oh, just another photo of the officiant putting our groom in a headlock- *Yawn!* Actually, Heather and John booked “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, a retired professional wrestler, to marry them. This was his signature hold. :)
Love, love, love.

Favorite!!
Off to the Grand Floridian Convention Center for their reception!
You can hear Heather and John talk about their Disney Fairy Tale Wedding on the Disney Wedding Podcast here!

I didn’t know “The Million Dollar Man” was an officiant now! That’s really cool!

Hope,
It was definitely a surreal experience. One that I appropriately call, Priceless. :-)
Hooray for Heather & John! They were so much fun to interview on the podcast, and so generous with the tips and tricks they learned during the planning process. Congratulation, you guys!
Thank you Carrie. While many have made our wedding incredible, few have made it all possible. You certainly gave us all the knowledge and insight to make it happen. We give major credit to you! :-)
OMG, how smiley is he! Love it! Congrats to you guys, the wedding looked like a blast!
Ok, I’m googling like crazy on how to hire Ted Dibiase, and I can’t find anything!
Heather and John … help me out! :)
