Amanda + Jeff : Orlando Florida Wedding

August 22, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can think of no better time to share this happy December wedding than today, in the dead of August (FLORIDA in August at that!), when I could use the reminder that we’re this close to more beautiful weather! :)

We love Amanda and Jeff and knew from their engagement session (remember the Santa Mickey hats on the beach?) that we were going to love their wedding day. Jeff is a Fantasyland cast member, which happens to be *my* old workplace that I miss dearly, and it’s impossible to not smile when you’re around Amanda!

They were married at the Yacht Club Gazebo and had their reception in Ariel’s. I love that their best friend married them (though I’m a little partial to that!), and their DJ, Elliot, quickly became my favorite Disney DJ next to Charles Miles! :)

One of my favorites- So much happy in one photo! <3

I love when couples “play” a little bit instead of using traditional songs to walk down the aisle. Jeff and his parents came into “Come and Get Your Love” and had everyone dancing and smiling along! :)

I’m 99% sure Amanda walked into the theme song from The Princess Diaries, which is all kinds of perfect. <3

CHRISTMAS IS COMING YOU GUUUUUYS. <3

I’ll never forget their sweet first dance to “Define Dancing” from Wall-E. I think of them every time it comes on my playlist. <3

SO. MUCH. HAPPY.

The BEST wedding to end the year with. I MEAN!!! :)

Amanda and Jeff, we love y’all too much! Vow renewal soon please!! :)

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
