Elizabeth + Noah : Grand Floridian Holiday Wedding

by 1 Comment

Noah proposed to Elizabeth in 2020 in front of Cinderella Castle during a special moment with their family. She (obviously!) said yes, and let him know that because he set the bar so high, they needed to get married at Disney now! <3

We were so happy to be a part of it- this was actually our first wedding of 2022!! I thought I’d save it to post in December given that the holiday decorations were still up; Elizabeth and her bridesmaids fit so well with the elegant holiday decor, they could have passed for paid actors Disney brought in to add to the festive cheer! <3

Thank you to Elizabeth and Noah’s vendor team!! :)

Katie + Juan : Epcot Wedding Reception

by 1 Comment

Katie and Juan met in veterinary school. Katie now works in general practice, and Juan works in emergency medicine, and we basically spent the day just telling stories to these guys about Huck and the Goldendoodle we hoped to bring home this year and like good vets, they eagerly grinned along! <3 They also happen to be big Disney lovers so it wasn’t a surprise when these guys decided that was where they wanted to get married, too!

Those Nate Root dress shots, y’all. <3

Easily one of my favorite first look reactions of the year!!

When the Mamas cry, I cry. EVERY time. <3

I love that Juan had a giddy reaction during the first look but emotional one when Katie walked down the aisle.

Off to Italy Isola for their reception!!

 

     

Katie and Juan, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for having us! :)

Spring + Anthony : Oakwood Country Club Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Spring went to UCF with Nate. They lived in the same dorm, had mutual friends, and she even remembers Nate getting his first camera! It was such an honor that she reached out for us to photograph her Kansas City wedding!

We knew the venue was at a country club, and while I had a generic country club in mind for her venue, we pulled up to anything but. The Oakwood Country Club was simply magical- I could have photographed on those grounds all day! The ballroom was beautifully naturally lit with these giant oak beams, the beautiful paved pathway, mature trees- I loved it all!!

Spring chose the perfect touches, making the ballroom feel like an outdoor garden oasis, complete with greenery from the chandeliers and market lights overhead. Their band, Twice on Sunday, was one I would love to relocate to Florida, and just wait ’til you see the arbor her father made them!!

Spring and Anthony, it was an absolute dream- thank you for having us!! <3

LOOK. AT. THIS. BALLROOM!

First look with Spring’s sweet father <3

Spring’s mother passed shortly after her wedding day. It was a bittersweet reminder about the importance of our work. It was abundantly clear that Spring was her whole world, and I hope our photos did their relationship justice. <3

See that gorgeous arbor? Spring’s father made it for them, and they’ll be able to use it in their backyard now. Just the most special day. <3

Just the most elegant indoor garden party!!
