Tara + Matt : Wedding Part II

Continued from Tara and Matt’s Wedding Part I!

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every daaaaaay…. There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow is just a dream awaaaaay!

As soon as we reached the main building at the Boardwalk the rain started up again, so we kept most of our portraits inside. (Thankfully, they’d done a first look, so we had plenty of photos already!)

Squiiiiiiiiiiiinch!

Love that “snow rain!” Tara and Matt were amazing and let us step outside for a few photos- We kept them under an overhang, so no wedding gowns were harmed in the making of this image!

Favorite of Nate’s!

Favorite of mine. :)

I think The Attic at Disney’s Boardwalk was our most-used reception venue for our Disney couples in 2011.

I love The Attic for couples married at Sea Breeze Point– It’s really cool that you have a great view of your wedding location during your reception!

Cake cutting threats. ;)

Tara and Matt, thank you for being so wonderful to play with! :)

Tara + Matt : Wedding Part I

March 6, 2012 by Jensey 5 Comments

Tara and Matt’s wedding was scheduled for a toasty August afternoon, so when the morning started out a bit overcast, we were thankful for the break in the heat! We didn’t meet Tara and Matt until their wedding day, but they were just as sweet as they came across in their emails. :)

We started the day at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, where Tara and Matt were getting ready.

When we arrived, Patricia LeJeune was just finishing up turning already pretty Tara to bride Tara. :)

One of my favorite first looks to date. Read more about our thoughts on this special moment here!

Matt’s tie was amazing- He said after looking in every men’s suit store around, Marshall’s ended up being the place to find that perfect finishing touch.

Have you spotted Tara’s “hidden Mickey” yet?

I honestly have no idea what’s going on here, but I’m in love, regardless! ;)

About two minutes before their outdoor Sea Breeze Point ceremony at Disney’s Boardwalk, this happened.

Sure enough, the ceremony started and rain disappeared. :)

Favorite. :)

Tara and Matt had my favorite recessional music to date – “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” from The Carousel of Progress. Disney wedding or not, it was the perfect feel-good “just married” tune! :)

Check back tomorrow as their wedding continues with some “snow rain!”

Victoria + Brian : Wedding Part II

Continued from Victoria and Brian’s Wedding Part I.

Not only does Brian have Disney prince-worthy good looks, but he literally danced his way down the aisle. *Swooooon!*

I’m extra emotional when a mother of the bride gives her little girl away, because my Mom gave me away over the phone when we eloped. :)

I love the rustic feel of the Grand Californian‘s ceremony location!

Victoria and Brian had a “ring warming” ceremony, which is yet another perk of having an intimate wedding- Their officiant passed around their wedding rings and each guest held them and “warmed” them with their happy thoughts for the couple.

Brian’s best man had Victoria’s phone in his pocket so her grandma could hear the ceremony. :)

Victoria and Brian, we couldn’t have asked for a better first Disneyland couple! I’m so happy we’ve gained two more friends (and a gaming buddy for Nate!) Please, please keep in touch!
