Stephanie + Brandon | Epcot France Pavilion Floral Wedding

How is it Thanksgiving week?!?

Next year marks our TWENTIETH year of photographing weddings. 20!!!!!! We are filled with all the love and gratitude for the couples who have invited us into their lives and families.

One of the couples we’re most thankful for this year is Stephanie and Brandon. Not only could I look at these photos for *days* to relive the magic, but Stephanie ended up playing a huge part in another business I started this year: Odin Ollie Travel! For the past couple years, I’ve been a travel advisor for Disney destinations, Universal, and most cruises and all-inclusive resorts! This year my dear friend Casi and I started Odin Ollie Travel and we can’t wait to see where things head.

What on Earth does this have to do with the sweet couple below?! We hired Stephanie to do some art work for our new brand. It’s the cutest art you’ve ever seen; head to our website to see for yourself!! ✨

Now on to Stephanie and Brandon’s weddingggggg!!!

This was a take-you-best-friend-to-work kind of day, from Stacie Otto on hair and makeup to Kimberly from Heart Happy Films on videography!! Stephanie and Brandon are the type of people that make you feel like you’ve known them for years, and their families and friends couldn’t have been kinder. I have *way* too many favorites, so this one is broken into a two-parter. ✨

Stephanie + Brandon | Vintage Disney Wedding Reception

Continued from Part One! ✨

It’s impossible to choose one favorite thing from this wedding reception, from their cake, to the amazing florals, to the most joyful first dance we’ve ever seen- Stephanie choreographed it to “Let’s Dance at Disneyland” and it was the perfect way to set the tone to their reception!! They also had a live painter and a visit from Donald and Goofy from Kingdom Hearts. Trust me- this is a good one.
