Tiffany + Sean : Wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Living Seas Salon

February 28, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

A true dream from first email, the opening line of Tiffany’s message was her asking if we would photograph her wedding day… and that she’d change her date if need-be. <3

Like so many of our Disney brides, she first found us through Carrie Hayward’s Disney Wedding Podcast, and Tiffany even says she’s read Carrie’s Disney Wedding Guide (almost) 743 times, lol!

When Tiffany and Sean first met, everyone said they were the opposite sex version of each other. They’ve been together now for almost a decade, and Tiffany says that having Sean’s son Patrick in her life has been the best thing that’s ever happened to her. They always felt like they’ve been married for so long but finally booked a Disney wedding to celebrate with their favorite people in their favorite place! :)

*My* favorite thing about this wedding day was watching Tiffany completely geek out about meeting some of our favorite vendor friends. Stacie from Fairytale Hair and Makeup, “Rev Kev” Kevin Knox, and Christine McPhail, her harpist– Every meeting brought new comments of “Oh. My. God. I can’t believe I’m about to meet THE Rev Kev,” etc. We laughed our way though the day so much our cheeks were sore!

Anyway, TIFFANY! I’m so so excited to be sharing YOUR wedding preview!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

This. First. Look. <3

Love this one of Tiffany and Patrick! <3

Sooo happy we could sneak into AbracadaBar for some photos! <3

It was off to The Living Seas Salon for their reception! <3

Tiffany and Sean, thank you SO much for having us!!! The day went by too too quickly! <3

Stephanie + MJ : Disney Wedding in Orlando, Florida

February 22, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They met fall of 2015 at a charity fundraiser for a mutual friend. MJ was photographing the event but couldn’t help but notice Stephanie and her piercing blue eyes, and as the story has it, Stephanie couldn’t help but watch MJ hard at work. <3

When they finally got to spend time together (they lived in different states!), Stephanie and MJ felt like they’d known each other forever. It was love almost instantly, and MJ proposed the following year during a game night at home. MJ worked her proposal into a trivia game- Stephanie was so focused on answering the fake question that MJ had to ask her twice before she realized MJ was proposing!!

Disney is a really big part of their family. Stephanie, her father, and her daughter Kendall used to go to Disney all the time with just the 3 of them. It was beyond special to MJ when she was first invited along, so there was no more special place to have their wedding than Walt Disney World. <3

Stephanie and MJ, we can’t thank you enough for letting us follow along- Enjoy your preview!!

Michelle + Jordan : Valentine’s Day Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

February 19, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Michelle and Jordan’s meet cute is straight out of a Hallmark movie :

They met ON Valentine’s Day in the mail room of their apartment complex when Michelle’s puppy niece jumped on Jordan. Classic! Jordan asked what she was doing next (waiting on her bestie to get off work for their Galentine’s date night.) Jordan smoothly asked if he could show Michelle the dog park. That led to a couple hours of talking and a Chipotle date the next day, where they talked so long they closed the restaurant down! <3

They both grew up coming to Disney for years before meeting, so it was only right they get married in Orlando… On Valentine’s Day. <3 It was an absolute honor to be their wedding photographers!!

This was our THIRD wedding in as many months with Jess Clark of Blush by Brandee Gaar! Michelle’s hair and makeup was done at the Orlando Ritz-Carlton salon, where she also got ready and got married! Lee James designed the most lovely flowers, and the ceremony and reception featured music from a string quartet, giving the whole day a magical sound straight out of a Disney movie. <3 Ohhhh and they had chicken and waffles at their reception! <3

This detailing on Jordan’s ring! <3

I love this photo Nate caught of Michelle’s niece trying on her ring. <3

Faaaaavorite. Michelle and Jordan are the most fun, involved aunt and uncle to the sweetest nieces and nephews, and they were included in every key part of the day. Her nieces took turns helping with her dress buttons (they proudly told us they have experiences with this sort of thing from their years in the Nutcracker!)
