Jessica + Alicia : Wedding Pavilion + California Napa Room Same Sex Orlando Wedding

November 23, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Jessica and Alicia were our first-ever lesbian wedding! Nate and I are so excited that we finally have more same-sex couples to add to our new wedding portfolio site (coming soon, promise- just have to finish those gosh darn bios!) Their whole day was stunning start to finish, and full of such love and adoration for this wonderful couple.

Ohhhh, just the view from their getting-ready room, no big deal. <3

We had Jessica step out so Alicia’s mom and sister could help her get dressed, then Jessica’s mom and sister helped her, and we did their first look at the Grand. :)

This was something we’ve neeeeeeever seen happen at a ceremony- Alicia’s poor momma stepped on Alicia’s veil after the hand-off!

If that wasn’t bad enough, it happened to Jessica after she walked down, too!!!!

I love that they both had a sense of humor and laughed it off with their guests! :)

The *only* reason I can stomach Nate’s precarious shooting positions (like the one on the right), is because he ends up catching gorgeous moments like the one on the left!

Bonnie + Alec : Alfond Inn and Casa Feliz Winter Park Wedding

November 16, 2015 by Jensey 1 Comment

 Bonnie and Nate were college friends. She was the subject of many an impromptu photo shoot when he got his first DSLR, so it was extra sweet when she asked us to be her wedding photographers. Alec is such a prince, Nate couldn’t be more excited for his old friend. :)

Bonnie got ready at the stunning Alfond Inn in Winter Park, and had her ceremony down the street at our would-have-been-wedding location, Casa Feliz. It’s always a happy day when we’re able to visit a favorite Orlando venue! My favorite part of the day was their reading at the ceremony, “The Day the Saucers Came” by Neil Gaiman. I love when couples add unique readings to ceremonies, and I found this one particularly charming.

Without further ado, enjoy my favorites! :)

Final stanza from “The Day The Saucers Came” by Neil Gaiman

That day, the saucer day, the zombie day
The Ragnarok and fairies day,
the day the great winds came
And snows and the cities turned to crystal, the day
All plants died, plastics dissolved, the day the
Computers turned, the screens telling
us we would obey, the day
Angels, drunk and muddled, stumbled from the bars,
And all the bells of London were sounded, the day
Animals spoke to us in Assyrian, the Yeti day,
The fluttering capes and arrival of
the Time Machine day,
You didn’t notice any of this because
you were sitting in your room, not doing anything
not even reading, not really, just
looking at your telephone,
wondering if I was going to call.

The reception got moved inside due to a torrential downpour, but you can tell by the photo below they didn’t care one bit! :)

Melanie + Brent : Epcot Germany Wedding

November 9, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

You know the story: Boy meets girl, boy wants to talk to girl because she once purchased a tux that used to belong to Orson Welles… <3

Melanie and Brent were hooked from that first conversation. With 10 years of being a Disney Store cast member and over 50 trips to Walt Disney World under her belt, Lake Buena Vista was the only sensible place to have their wedding. We’re so happy to have been brought along for the ride! :)

Starting our wedding day on a weekday before the sun rises? Ohhhhh, those Epcot weddings. <3

Dylan was so proud to give his momma away!

In lieu of a unity candle or sand ceremony, Melanie, Brent, and their bridal party made wishes and tossed coins in the fountain they were married in front of. <3
