Chrissy + Crit : Boardwalk Inn Wedding

April 20, 2016 by Jensey 8 Comments

What’s that? A full blog post just two days after our most recent wedding? Ok! <3

This fourth grade teacher and archivist met online. Crit’s first trip to Walt Disney World was with Chrissy, where he popped the question. What better place to get married than in this special place, turning their wedding into a big family vacation? :)

Everything about this day was perfect, from the freakishly-beautiful April weather (seriously, Orlando- This year has been amazing!) to Chrissy’s ensemble. I loved her lace sleeves and succulent bouquet, making her look so ethereal. They couldn’t have been sweeter or their families kinder; it was the most perfect day to kick off wedding season!

Ready to swoon? When it was Crit’s turn for his vows, he started by telling us his “favorite napkin story,” because who doesn’t have one of those, right? ;) Well, Crit was out to dinner with a friend shortly after he and Chrissy started dating, and was telling his friend about how smitten he was. His friend pushed a little further, asking flat-out if Crit thinks Chrissy is the girl he wants to marry. Crit said yes, and his friend pulled out a napkin and wrote :

9:37pm

9/17/2010

Crit decided he was going to marry Chrissy!

And then signed it. Crit kept that napkin for six years, knowing it could come in handy some day, particularly on his wedding day. Chrissy never even knew about the napkin until he pulled it out from his pocket. So. stinking. sweet. <3

Chrissy and Crit, it was an absolute honor. Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!!! :)

Shortly after their ceremony, a stranger walking by handed the newlyweds this gift card! How random and cool is that?!

Juliana + Ryan : Wedding at The Manor in West Orange, NJ

April 11, 2016 by Jensey 5 Comments

 

We met Juliana when she was a bridesmaid in her sister’s Disney wedding. Gina’s wedding was one we’ll never forget, from our showing up to the Grand Floridian in a tornado warning (it poured so hard we couldn’t even see the Wedding Pavilion!), to the end of the night where Gina was running and sliding across the dance floor in her wedding gown, LOL! There is NO better feeling than when the brother or sister of a bride books us for their wedding- It’s so fun showing up to the next wedding as old friends. <3

This was my favorite photo of Juliana and Ryan from Gina and Bob’s wedding! :)

Then and now with Princess Summer. I only just noticed how similar their flowers were! <3

The flower girl dresses were handmade by Juliana’s mom to look like hers. I was in awe! :)

This little warrior. <3 Summer was diagnosed with pediatric liver cancer when she was born and has undergone a roller coaster of surgeries and treatments all with a smile on her face. Juliana entered Summer in our portrait giveaway last year and she won, so hopefully we’ll get more quality time with this brave little girl soon. If you would like to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand in honor of Summer, you can read more about her journey and donate here!!

Valerie + Rob : Bonnet Island Estate Wedding in Long Beach Island, NJ

April 5, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Oh, this wedding, y’all. <3

I big time oldie but goodie- I think I may be two years late with this one (!!!!), but I’m so excited to finally share. Valerie was a bridesmaid in Gina and Bob’s wedding years ago and brought us up to New Jersey for her wedding!

What else can I tell you about these two? In 10 years, we’ve never had a bride as smiley as Valerie. She was a guest at a wedding we shot in Jersey last year, and I spotted her smile from across the venue! Her personality is infectious, and she’s craaaaaazy about Rob, who is a real-life Clark Kent. They have a cat named Mr. Darcy who was sadly didn’t make the wedding guest list, and they met playing in a co-ed touch football league!

Oh, and they had THE most adorable flower girls. LOOK AT THESE LITTLE WOMEN! <3

Their wedding was at a new favorite of mine, the Bonnet Island Estate in Long Beach, NJ. Truly a fairy tale setting and photographer’s dream! As are big-bowed, gold Kate Spade heels!
