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

February 8, 2012 by Jensey 6 Comments

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!

Victoria + Brian : Wedding Part I

February 7, 2012 by Jensey 9 Comments

Don’t forget to check out Victoria and Brian’s Disneyland engagement session first. ;)

After Victoria and Brian’s wedding day, I was able to check off one more thing from my bucket list- Photographing a Disneyland wedding!!! Because we’ve done so many Walt Disney World weddings, I’ve always been curious about how the other side does things. I kept having to remember it’s a much smaller operation over there. Disneyland doesn’t have their own florist or photographers (thank goodness, or we couldn’t shoot in the park, I’m sure!) So everything we’re used to with WDW weddings sort of went out the window. There was a snag in the day regarding timing of Victoria’s flower delivery, and I was a little disappointed with how Disney handled it, but Victoria handled the stress like a champ and you never would have known something went askew. That is why we love our brides. :)

Victoria and Brian met when they were both in the bridal party of a friend’s wedding- I’m pretty sure it doesn’t get much cuter than that!

I was more than a little jealous of the view from Victoria’s room at the Grand Californian. :)

I can’t wait to be an aunt!!! :)

Tara Fontana of Fairytale Hair and Make-up was just as magical as I thought she’d be!

My favorite spot in the Grand Californian. :)

Victoria, I adore you!

Gooooooorgeous! :)

We happened to be in the perfect place at the perfect time and caught some amazing light in the lobby!

Most epic texting photo EVER!

Nate’s favorite. :)

Come back tomorrow for part two!
