Sam + Jake : Orlando Hard Rock Cafe Wedding

April 17, 2013 by Jensey 7 Comments

Samantha and Jake are two of the funnest, sweetest people you’ll ever meet and Jake is a HUGE music fanatic. He doesn’t just GO to Bonnaroo, he brings his mom. He and Sam felt like the Orlando Hard Rock Cafe at Universal’s City Walk was the perfect place to hold their wedding and after shooting there, I have to admit- Even though I sort of felt like I was cheating on Disney shooting this one, this venue is awesome.

I love that Nate grabbed this photo of Jake playing on the Hard Rock stage before the ceremony. :)

This place puts the marquee at Disney’s Atlantic Dance Hall to shame!

Favorite. :)

Did I mention that UCF’s Knightro was the ring bearer??

Second favorite!

Pretty sure I was getting yelled at by their DJ for taking this. Even though so many of our couples learn of the private last dance from our blog, DJs don’t seem to know that we like to stick around for the first half of the song to shoot it! Should probably blog about that soon. :)

Sam and Jake, we love y’all! Now move your cute butts to Nashville!

Jen + Greg : William Penn Inn Wedding

April 9, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

Like most of our destination couples, Jen and Greg found us through our lovely past Disney brides and asked us to come to Pennsylvania to photograph their wedding. They were married at the William Penn Inn in Gwynedd, a place that’s special to both of their families. I was in love with this venue after peeking at it online- The William Penn Inn happens to be the oldest continuously operated inn in Pennsylvania! I was smitten with the history, the grounds, and the elegant ballroom. Unfortunately, the cold and rainy weather meant their outdoor ceremony had to be moved indoors, but Jen didn’t let the change in plans ruin her day.

Jen’s dad had the dual duties of walking his daughter down the aisle and performing the ceremony.

FAVORITE!

Jen and Greg, thank you guys for everything!! Hope newlywed life is wonderful. :)

Meagan + Lucas : Murrieta’s Well Wedding in Livermore, California

April 8, 2013 by Jensey 6 Comments

Meagan and Lucas live in the San Francisco Bay Area and had a ridiculously gorgeous vineyard wedding in Livermore, California. We love weddings in northern California because it gives us the chance to visit family members we don’t see near enough. :)

Murrieta’s Well, Meagan and Lucas’ wedding venue, had so many gorgeous photo spots. Lucky for us, Meagan and Lucas are also photographers and reserved plenty of time before the wedding for photos!
