Carolyn + Justin : Walt Disney World Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Carolyn and Justin met in Raleigh and had been together about 4 years before planning their wedding. It was Justin who encouraged Carolyn to consider having a Disney wedding! They visited for the first time together as a couple and were hooked. <3

I do feel like once you start to consider a Disney wedding, it’s hard to find an alternative! :)

One of my faaaaaaavorites!!

I looove the foggy feel of these photos around the Yacht and Beach Club!

Marriedddddddddd! <3

Is it a Disney wedding if you don’t serve Mickey waffles?!

These Nate dessert parties I tell you <3

Carolyn and Justin, thank you for having ussssss!! <3

Olivia + Chris : Yacht and Beach Club Wedding

If you happen to follow us on social media, you may have noticed a major uptick in activity over on the ol’ Instagram, Facebook, and blog!

Turns out, when you live through a pandemic, sell a home, move in with in-laws for a couple months, then to an apartment, then build a home, then move *in* to the home, then move the crap from your storage units into said home, then take a little bit of time to paint and make that home your own, then go from your child being in VPK Monday-Friday to home 24 hours a day while you homeschool *and* carry a full-time job as you work from home, well… things tend to get put on the back-burner. For me, the first to go tends to be blog posts. Followed shortly by social media altogether.

Honestly it’s a wonder we’re still in this business, and I’m forever thankful for everyone being so patient as I slowly chug through our (130+!!!!) blog queue!! I know, I can’t believe it myself. I’m trying to keep up with current events first, and then going completely out of order and sharing past weddings from there. So if we still haven’t gotten to you, I promise it’s coming, but I can’t promise how many months or years it may be until we get to you! <3

Case in point, Olivia and Chris! This blog post is so old that these two have already gotten married, gotten pregnant, and welcomed the most beautiful baby into the world! I wish I could say this was my furthest-back wedding, but there’s no need to answer that, right?! ;)

Obsessed with this Disney celebrity (and now new mama, too!)

That time Nate was just casually taking location photos and zooms in to see this guy:

Olivia and Chris, thank you for everything!! Squinches to baby Elanor!

Shelby + Michael : Tangled-Inspired GM Lounge Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Shelby and Michael met almost a decade ago at a college party. Shelby was told there would be a puppy… even though she ended up *not* meeting the puppy that night, she *did* meet her future husband, so we’re still gonna call that a win, right?

Since that first night, they happily spend several trips a year at Disney. When it came time to plan the wedding, there was no other option- Walt Disney World or bust! <3

Officiant | Valerie Tucker
Hair + Makeup | Fairytale Hair and Makeup
Wedding Dress | Tara La Tour Phillip from Loveliest Bridal in Knoxville
Wedding Cake |  Walt Disney World

Shelby is a professional pastry chef! <3

First look magic <3

Their ceremony was at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. <3

 

Shelby’s floral was inspired by the flowers in Rapunzel’s braid <3

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!! Be still my Tangled-loving heart! <3

GM Lounge FTW. How do we top this?! Obsessed with how light and airy this space felt with Shelby’s gold and white touches.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Shelby and Michael!! It was such a beautiful day!!
