Alex + Steve : Wedding Part I

August 13, 2012 by Jensey 4 Comments

I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I have the most horrid fake British accent. I like using it because it’s the quickest way to make Nate laugh, but the truth is… I sound like an awful, awful slightly-southern version of Dick Van Dyke’s Bert in Mary Poppins. I actually used to *think* I had it pretty well set, but judging by the reactions of my closest friends and family, I seem to be ‘accent deaf’ like people are tone deaf!

That being said, I love a good British accent, so any time we get a booking from a couple across the pond, I get so excited to spend the day listening to their friends and family speak! Alex and Steve were no exception, and this wedding day was full of “lorries” and “lifts” and “spoonfuls of sugar.” Ok, I may have added that last one in for fun, but you get the picture. :)

Alex and Steve got ready at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, where they had a kick-ass view of the savannah.

Patricia LeJeune’s team was on hand, so we knew the day would begin smoothly. :)

Alex’s bridesmaids reminded me so much of Katie and Hayley, the bridesmaids at Victoria and Jack’s wedding. SO sweet and supportive- I’m officially taking applications for British best friends, if anyone’s interested! ;)

Alex made her bouquet from a vintage lampshade!

You know I have a special place in my heart for our teary grooms. <3

FAVORITE!

I promise we were happy to be there. ;)

Part two coming up next with some especially dapper guests. ;)

Samantha + Quinn : Wedding Part II

Continued from Sam and Quinn’s Wedding Part I. :)

Sam and Quinn held their ceremony at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.

It was an emotional (and sweaty!) one. :)

Before we knew it, a huge storm began to move in. During group photos, my Mom texted to let us know there was a tornado warning in the Disney area, and it was hailing in Celebration! We raced through the group photos the best we could.

I do love the ominous background the storm gave us, though! :)

Sam was a total trooper through it all- We could hear the thunder rolling in and I kept asking if she wanted us to just make a run for the lobby, but she kindly demanded we keep taking photos. :)

Nate’s favorite. :)

My favorite. :)

Samantha + Quinn : Wedding Part I

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!
