Destiny + Sebastian : Orlando Walt Disney World Wedding Photographer

December 4, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Oh, these two. <3

Destiny and Sebastian were married right before Thanksgiving, which means I’m a bit delayed in getting these teaser photos out to them! Their wedding was all things beautiful and fairy tale, from their candlelit ceremony at Sea Breeze Point to their Epcot reception where two of Cinderella’s bluebirds were finishing up their wedding cake. (No, seriously! Keep scrolling down!)

One of my favorite photos of the day happened just after their first look, when we stepped outside their building for portraits. The lighting was stunning, and we happened to come across the Grand 1 yacht, where months prior, Sebastian proposed to Destiny. :)

When THIS is the view from your getting ready room, you know it’s gonna be a good day! :)

Destiny and Sebastian had already done their Magic Kingdom portrait session earlier in the week, so we didn’t do a first look. But this was the first time Destiny’s dad saw his daughter in her wedding dress. :)

Those Epcot receptions <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I told you I wasn’t lying about the bluebirds!! :)

The end!!! Destiny and Sebastian, we hope y’all love the photos as much as we loved making them!! :)

November 13, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season for family sessions!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so pumped to have our calendar so packed full of Orlando family sessions in this gorgeous weather. We love the excuse to get outside and meet some new faces! *Especially* when those new faces are THESE three faces!!

I MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. <3

Makayla’s face in the middle slaaaaays me! <3

And thennnnnn the mouse ears got pulled out!!! <3

All three of these girlies could be Gap Kids models, but Miss Emily was a pro at working the camera! :)

Mom was on top of bribing with small, quickly edible snacks (one of my favorite tips for family sessions!!), but this photo of Makayla’s Twizzler mouth is maybe my favorite! :)

V family, we had SO much fun. Thank you for the belly laughs! :)

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

November 2, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Continued from Ashley and Billy’s wedding part ONE! <3

It’s a two-parter kinda wedding day, because 70+ photos are just too much for one post!

CEREMONY TIME! I love, love, love, love, LOVE that these guys walked down the aisle TOGETHER. This is what we would do. <3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd who needs a candle ceremony or sand ceremony when you can have a peanut butter and jelly ceremony?! These guys made their sandwich while their officiant read out the reasons linking Billy to peanut butter and Ashley to jelly. <3

Plus, what bride wouldn’t go for a mid-ceremony snack?! <3

We were all confused when during group photos, the entire cast of Beaches and Cream came bearing sodas for the bride and groom!

Turns out Ashley and Billy request the same server, the sweet woman to the right of Billy, every time they eat at the restaurant. They went in for a meal before the wedding, and their server joked that she’ll be there! Sure enough, she came bearing friends, hugs, and their favorite- Vanilla Coke! <3

This was our first time ducking into the new AbracadaBar for photos. I can’t wait to go back for a drink!

I feel like we haven’t shot a wedding in the Atlantic Dance Hall in ages. What a perfect venue for these thespians! :)

During their first dance, they had scrolling photos from their childhood to now. <3

I love that they *both* had mom dances. <3

I haven’t even mentioned their love of penguins yet! Billy proposed in a penguin enclosure at the zoo (If I’m remembering right, there was a musical number involved…), and during the ceremony, their friend read aloud from Sandra Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin.
