Amanda + Corey : Estate on the Halifax Wedding in Port Orange, FL

January 7, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

On the way to Amanda and Corey’s wedding, I looked them up on Facebook and saw that my sister was a mutual friend. We walked into Amanda’s cottage where she got ready, and I excitedly told her she knows Amelia! “Oh I know, I told y’all I’ve followed you from the beginning!” I said I thought that meant the beginning of their engagement, etc, and she pipes up, “Nope! From the very beginning of your business!”

I loved this sweet Celebration girl so very much!! Amanda was an absolute dream of a bride, willing to do anything for a good photo! I loved how smitten she and Corey were with each other, and I couldn’t have loved their wedding venue more! It was our first time shooting the Estate on the Halifax, and it felt like every turn had a photo spot more charming than the last.

Thank you so much to our vendor team for making this wedding such a good one!!

I loved the photos of their choreographed dance, but I think I loved the celebration photo when they were done even more!! :)

Loved their sweet parent dances <3

I *always* get choked up at private last dances!

Amanda and Corey, we love y’all and hope to get together again soon!!!! <3

Abby + Jesse : Up Inspired Boardwalk Inn Wedding

January 2, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

Abby and Jesse met online years ago and communicated via long emails while Jesse was overseas with the Navy. They’ve endured another deployment, nursing school, and now wedding planning! The deeper Abby and Jesse got into planning a big wedding, the less like “them” it felt, so they planned to elope. They ended up doing a larger elopement at their favorite place with their core family, and I for one think it was absolutely perfect. <3

We didn’t meet Abby and Jesse until their wedding day, but immediately they welcomed us like family. I had no idea starting that day that we’d have such an easy relationship and end with bonding over how open adoption has touched our lives. I love this job so much for the people it brings into our lives, and these two are right up there.

They both got ready at the Contemporary which is a favorite, because you know you’re gonna have a good day when you wake up to this! :)
