Colleen + Ken : Garrett Williamson Foundation Wedding in Newtown Square, PA

July 23, 2017 by Jensey 1 Comment

“He’s tall dark and handsome, I’m short light and cute. We’re a funny looking couple, but we were made for each other. We’ve been together 7 years and got engaged earlier this year in Italy. We like to try new things and make tasty snacks, followed by serious kitchen dance-offs. We’re silly and goofy in love.”

That was an excerpt from the first time Colleen wrote us, and I agree with it all, except for the funny looking couple part! :) I first met Colleen when we worked in Fantasyland about a million years ago. I fell in love with her joyful spirit, and she had me from the first time I heard her crow like Peter Pan! <3

Colleen and Ken were married at the Garrett Williamson Foundation in Newtown Square, PA. Nate so loved escaping the Florida heat and getting some crisp air in May! :)

This wedding was so colorful, it made my heart happy just editing the photos! :)

Colleen, you were made to be a bride!! <3

One of my allllllllllllllllllllllllllll time favorite first look photos!! <3

Oh, the littles at this wedding, y’all! <3

I *love* that they walked up to the altar together. <3

Another faaaaaavorite! <3

Colleen, I couldn’t be happier for you, my sweet friend, and Ken! I’m so sad I didn’t get to meet you!! Come to Disney World, asap! :)

Rebecca + Brian : Summer Epcot Wedding in Morocco!

July 20, 2017 by Jensey 2 Comments

Rebecca and Brian’s wedding day was the first of my baby leave, so the next ~8 (!!!!) wedding blog posts will be ones from days without me! Rebecca and Brian were married just days after Ollie was born, so on this particular wedding day, I was sitting for hours and hours in the NICU rocking my boy and praying for him to eat! My sister-in-law came to keep me company so Nate could go shoot the day with the help of Kimberly of Portrayable Photography, the un-sung hero of our summer. I don’t know how we would have made it through these summer months without her stepping in for me at these weddings and doing an amazing job! :) She gave me that priceless peace of mind of knowing I could be with Oliver, guilt-free, and know the quality of our work wasn’t going to change. Kim- I can never, ever thank you enough for being on call for us. <3

Rebecca and Brian met at Rutgers University and were together for 8 years before Brian proposed- Fittingly enough, on the same school campus where their story started. They both came from Disney-loving families but had never been to Walt Disney World together until it was time to plan their wedding day! :) They love traveling, Disney, and adventure, so where better to get married than Epcot? :)

Rebecca and Brian, we wish you the very best and hope to see you again when you come back to visit!! :)

CC + Brian : Grand Floridian Wedding and Reception in Orlando, Florida

June 16, 2017 by Jensey 2 Comments

You. Guys.

Nate and I have taken up permanent residence on Cloud 9 since the adoption of our SON last month. We’re enjoying every second of our sweet boy, and I’m looking forward to (hopefully!!) carving out some time this summer to write a little about his adoption story and start sharing photos. For now, I’m spending my days mainly off my phone and snuggling baby Oliver, but I’m slowly starting to work a bit in the office again.

Of *course* we would become first-time parents with a two week notice in the middle of wedding season!! I’m so grateful to our couples for being so gracious about us taking a bit longer to get previews to them, and especially our couples whose wedding dates fall during my little “maternity leave.” As bummed as I am to not meet some Root couples I was looking forward to, I’m truly soaking in every bit of baby-ness I can before returning to work!!

CC and Brian have been nothing short of wonderful about waiting to see some preview photos from their wedding that was over a month ago!! It was the last one I photographed before Ollie was born, and I’m so excited to finally share these. What a wonderful wedding to end *my* spring wedding season with! <3

They got ready at the Swan hotel and had the most amazing suite for their bridal party to spread out the morning of their wedding!

Those. Shooooooooes! <3

First look tiiiiime! And ohhhh that little Ellie Badge <3

CC, you were just as stunning as I thought you’d be! :)

That blue suuuuuit!! <3

These dessert party photos melt my heart! :)

If you counted a couple new faces in our typical selfie, you’re right! This was our first wedding with new pals Switzer World, and I’m obsessed!! :)

CC and Brian, y’all are wonderful and we so look forward to seeing you during your future trips down here!! And blog friends, give me a couple more weeks to catch up on our preview photos and then I’ll blog a bit about our scrumptious son! :)
