Danusia + Brendan : Disney Port Orleans French Quarter Engagement Session

February 4, 2015 by Jensey 2 Comments

After a string of engagement sessions at the Boardwalk Inn, we loved hopping over to French Quarter for a change of pace! :)

Danusia contacted us just a couple of days after getting engaged, and we’re so glad she picked us for her engagement session photographer! I love when we get to meet our couples so short after the proposal because I feel like they’re extra shiny. Is that weird? It’s wonderful hearing about initial wedding hopes and dreams and then getting to see the end result! :)

Nate knocked it out of the park (agaaaaaaain) with my most favorite, favorite photo from the day:

Danusia, you are gorrrrgeous. <3

Their wardrobe was so on point with this resort, I love seeing how perfectly they fit in every scene.

My other favorite, again by Nate *shakefist.* ;)

Danusia and Brendan, happy wedding planning- I know whatever you do will be perfect!! :)

Vanessa + Jorge : Port Orleans Riverside Engagement Session

February 2, 2015 by Jensey 2 Comments

Vanessa and Jorge met when they were eleven years old, became close friends, and came to their senses and started to date their senior year of high school. They’ve been through it all together- College, winning a fight against cancer, buying a house, remodeling a house, and are the owners of THE cutest white fluffy dog you’ve ever seen. They are both so sweet and easy to be around, and I was going to blog their wedding today but realized I never blogged their engagement session! *facepalm*

We met up with Vanessa and Jorge at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside for their session. :)

Jorge, you have the happiest smile ever!

I love how comfortable they are with each other.

Check back tomorrow for their stunning St. Pete wedding! <3

Meghan + Dave : Boardwalk Inn Engagement Session

January 26, 2015 by Jensey 4 Comments

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve seen Meghan before when she was the maid-of-honor in her best friend Liz’s wedding (which you can read about in part one here and part two here!) And if you received a 2014 holiday card from us, well, you’re already familiar with Dave’s incredible work- He and Meghan sent what we’ve dubbed the “Snow Huck” piece to us for Christmas in 2013 and I knew it’d make the perfect holiday card but was a little shy to ask.

When we decided to have Huck’s eye removed a few months ago, I wrote and asked if he could make the left eye wink, and the rest is history! We received the best feedback for our card and all the credit goes to these two! <3

Meghan and Dave got engaged last year and I was crossing fingers and toes that she’d write us and she DID! We photographed them around Disney’s Boardwalk Inn for their engagement session where they couldn’t have dressed better. My favorite things were Dave’s subtle R2D2 bow tie, and of course, this adorable parasol, a nod to my favorite character from one of our favorite shows- Firefly! <3

Meghan and Dave, to say we had a blast is an understatement- Thank you for picking us!! Next May can’t come soon enough! <3
