Samantha + Quinn : Wedding Part I

July 24, 2012 by Jensey 4 Comments

We don’t hear stories like this too often anymore, but Sam and Quinn were high school sweethearts. :) Sam loves Disney and Quinn loves Sam, so the decision to have a Disney wedding didn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

Unfortunately Walt Disney World still doesn’t allow for outside photographers to shoot events in the park, so we were only able to shoot the wedding day up until the reception. I’m so honored that Sam and Quinn brought us along even though we couldn’t cover the whole day.

While I’m loyal to the Disney resorts, I have to say that the rooms at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort in Bonnet Creek were pretty amazing. Love the view from Quinn’s room!

Sam getting ready for their tea ceremony.

Sam and Quinn held their tea ceremony in Sam’s room at the Contemporary. I can’t believe this is only the second one we’ve ever shot!

Sam and her brother are incredibly close- When I found out he bought her wedding gown for her, I nearly melted! :)

Goooooorgeous!

The bridesmaid dresses reminded me of a modern day Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. :)

First look time! Quinn was so excited. :)

You have to come back tomorrow to see part II! :)

Liz + Bryan : Wedding Part II

Continued from Liz and Bryan’s Wedding Part I. :)

I love a good daytime exit!

Thank you to the random guests who offered their surrey for a few photos! :)

I love how well their colors worked with the Atlantic Dance Hall.

For their first dance, Bryan’s friend crooned “That’s All.” So sweet.

My favorite thing about Disney weddings? All the little kiddies that come up and compliment the couple. :)

Mad props to Liz and Bryan who instead of a “first look,” gave us tons of time after the reception for some photos around the Boardwalk Inn. We were able to get shots like this… Any New Girl fans out there? ;)

Favorite.

We ended photos at a place near and dear to my heart, the Bellevue Lounge, where they ended the night with best friends and drinks.

I don’t have a photo of it, but the night ended with us getting a giant, spontaneous group hug from Liz and Bryan’s bridal party! It was pretty much wonderful, and we left on a warm fuzzy overload. Liz and Bryan, WE LOVE YOU! Let us know whenever you make it to Nashville! :)

Liz + Bryan : Wedding Part I

July 17, 2012 by Jensey 12 Comments

Liz had a hunch Bryan would propose during their winter trip to Disney. They planned a romantic dinner for two at Jiko (my favorite!), but when they sat down and Bryan dropped the bomb that he was still working on the ring, Liz’s heart sank. So much so that she proceeded to pout through their entire meal! When dessert arrived with “Will you marry me?” written in chocolate syrup, she realized she’d been dooped and immediately said yes. :) It was only fitting that they chose to get married at Walt Disney World- The scene of the crime!

Liz and Bryan exchanged vows at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian, with their wedding reception following at the BoardWalk Inn’s Atlantic Dance Hall.

As if they weren’t amazing enough, Liz and Bryan’s had their friend do this original piece for us. I loooooooove it!!!!!!!!!!

I love Liz’s “I’M GETTING MARRIED!” face. :)

Two of the cutest flower girls EVER. Nate and I always joke that they should have a flower girl/ ring bearer rental company, and these two would bring in the big bucks!

Liz and her best friend Meghan had been Tweeting at us for a good year before the wedding. When the date finally came, I felt like we were old friends already!
