Taryn + TC : Orlando Wedding Photographer

July 24, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can’t believe we’re already almost done with July!!!! My year is always based around a never ending countdown to Halloween and Christmas, and we’re getting close- I can feeeeeel it! <3

This summer, Nate’s grandmother moved from Indiana to my mother-in-law’s in South Florida. We spent the first couple weeks of this month helping to finish pack her up there, driving the moving truck down to Florida (with Huck and all!), and then moving her into her new digs. I only mention this because I’m a couple weeks late with this sweet couple’s wedding preview!

Taryn and TC were married in the beginning of the month and lucked out with the best dessert party- A Wishes! dessert party, but one with the 4th of July fireworks!!! I know the word “epic” gets tossed around all the time these days, but just. wait. until. you. see. that. photo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without further ado, Taryn and TC’s wedding day! <3

Her bridesmaids had the most beautiful brooch bouquets, and I love that Taryn had brooches mixed in with her flowers!

I couldn’t stop laughing on my first pass through Nate’s photos when I saw this little cutie! :)

Nate’s camera magic + bubbles = <3

THE FIREWORK PHOTO TO END ALL FIREWORK PHOTOS. <3

I love that their first dance was to one of “our” songs, Maroon 5’s “Sunday Morning!” <3

YOU GUUUUUUUUYS!!! We had so so so so so so much fun and can’t wait to share the rest of your photos SOON! <3

Deanna + Michael : Everything Else <3

Now for more photos from our cruise for Deanna and Michael’s wedding day! (Read about that here first!)

Uncomfortably close for the lifeboat drill! :)

The funniest thing happened when I posted on Facebook that we were about to cruise- It turned out we knew 8 other people on board! It was fun bumping into friends on our way to and from dinner, and we even got to meet up with our past bride Erin and her friends for ice cream at Vanellope’s as soon as we wrapped up our wedding day. :)

Our last day on board was Castaway Cay day! We met up with the newlyweds for some photos around the Disney Dream and the island. <3

I had to!!!! <3

BEST part of the trip? Deanna and Michael’s families rented these private cabanas on the family beach of Castaway Cay. I am so not a beach person, but I’m SO a private cabana on Castaway Cay kind of person!!! <3

Proof we were there. <3

Deanna gave these to all her guests to brush the sand off our feet! We keep ours in the car and I’ve already used it after a beach session- So great!

The whole wonderful group!! <3

Deanna and Michael, we can’t thank y’all enough for bringing us along on your adventure. Hope to see ya real soon! <3

Deanna + Michael : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on the Disney Dream

July 20, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Destination weddings are always an adventure, but that increases 10 fold when it’s on a Disney Cruise.

We were thrilled when Deanna and Michael asked us to join them on board to document their wedding! This was our second wedding to shoot on the Disney Dream, the first being Krystal and Ben’s. Krystal’s ceremony took place on Castaway Cay, but this was to be our first wedding in the atrium of the Disney Dream. It was absolutely stunning!

The best part about this wedding were the people getting married. Deanna and Michael became quick friends, and their families welcomed us with open arms! Deanna’s family has cruised more times than they could count, and a large majority of their guests were friends they’ve made while on Disney cruises!
