Emily + Daniel : Tarpon Lodge Wedding Part I in Pine Island Florida

July 2, 2013 by Jensey 9 Comments

Emily found us because she and her best friend Lauren were suite-mates with my little sister Amelia in the UCF Adpi house. :) Back in the day we did a session with Amelia and her 3 roommates as her birthday gift, not having any idea that some day we’d end up photographing all three girls’ weddings in the future!

I have so much love for this wedding. If you close your eyes and think of the quintessential Floridian wedding, Emily and Daniel’s photos should pop up in your mind! Gorgeous couple, palm trees galore, perfect cool breeze from the beach view, a mosquito here and there… And there and there. ;)  Emily and Daniel’s ceremony and reception were held at Tarpon Lodge in Pine Island, which provided the perfect “old Florida” feel Emily wanted as the scene for her wedding.

Shortly after the rehearsal on their wedding eve, Emily and Daniel’s families and bridal party (and photographers!) boarded a ferry to their rehearsal dinner…

When we got off the ferry we were in Cabbage Key, which supposedly is where Jimmy Buffet wrote Cheeseburger in Paradise. We didn’t have cheeseburgers, but I can most definitely vouch for the “paradise” part. :)

Emily and Daniel’s families were some of the sweetest we’ve met yet, and they love the heck out of this couple!

Emily and Daniel had this photo greeting guests as they entered Tarpon Lodge– I took it when Emily was the maid of honor at Lauren Paige and Keith’s wedding! :)

We lucked out with Emily and Daniel seeing each other before their ceremony– We had way too many photo ops that would have gone to waste! :)

Is that not the most perfect bouquet you’ve ever seen? It has Lee Forrest Design written all over it!

Krystal + Ben : Disney Cruise Line Wedding Preview on the Disney Dream

June 29, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

Make sure you’ve seen Krystal and Ben’s engagement session teasers here first! :)

Sooooooo, I sort of fell in love with the Disney Dream. There were so many little touches to love, but one of my favorites was this Cinderella mosaic mural next to Guest Relations off of the main lobby. I had this shoe shot in mind the second I saw it! Lucky for me, Krystal had some stunning Christian Louboutins for me to play with. :)

Nate and I just finished a whirlwind three week Orlando trip for five weddings: Three in Orlando, we flew to Philadelphia for Erin and Mark’s wedding, and then we ended the trip with a three day Disney Cruise Line wedding! Life is tough. ;) Krystal and Ben’s wedding was on Castaway Cay (those preview photos to come shortly), and we photographed their engagement session the day prior in Nassau. Nate and I had only been once, but we loved our adventure with these two for engagement photos around town!
