Tanya + Barlow : Orlando, Florida Wedding

March 18, 2017 by Jensey 1 Comment

Hey hey hey, it’s Tanya and Barlow’s blog preview daaaaay! <3

These guys are from New Orleans, and I love that they had an Orlando wedding during Mardi Gras! I was so excited to tell Tanya about my favorite store in New Orleans, Kawaii Nola (go check it out if you’re in the area!), and it turned out she’s already a frequent shopper!! It was such a fun thing to bond over on her wedding morning- My best girl Jennifer’s best friend is the owner. :)

Tanya first reached out to us September of 2015- It feels like a lifetime ago! These lovebirds met online, and my favorite story about them was that their first meeting was supposed to be a casual lunch, but turned into a 10 hour first date day! Their wedding day was so fun and colorful (and any wedding that includes a nod to to Small World is a winner in my book!) Laura Reynolds Artistry was on hand to make sure Tanya looked and felt her best, and the wedding planner was our pal Amy!

Tanya and Barlow, we’re thrilled to show you some favorites from your wedding day- We hope you love these photos as much as we loved taking them!!

After their first look, it was off to the Boardwalk for their ceremony!

Miss Chancey was a dream of a flower girl. :)

Then it was off to the California Grill for their wedding reception! :)

Loved their “guest book!”

Ended the night the best way we know how- Illuminations love! <3

Tanya and Barlow, thank you for the super fun day!!! :)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to yooooooooou!

And happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

When Destiny and Brett contacted us 10(!!!!!) years after photographing their engagement session asking us to photograph their pregnancy announcement, I was honored. When they let us know this baby was a souveneir from their trip to Ireland, and they wanted to so a St. Paddy’s day reveal, I was THRILLED. I think my face here says it all, lol. :)

My favorite- The photo I envisioned on the left, and the behind the scenes on the right!! :)

Destiny and Brett, thank you for the belly laughs, and lucky Baby O, we can’t wait to meet yoooooou! <3

First Look on the 1st : Rachael + Don

Rachael and Don’s “happy” theme seems like the perfect wedding to kick off March with our “First Look on the 1st” series!

We’ve never seen Sea Breeze point look so sunny as it did with Rachael’s pops of happy colors, and it was our first reception at our favorite, California Grill, in ages! For more from this peppy wedding, click here! :)

Veronica + Greg : Orchid Garden Wedding in Downtown Orlando Part I

February 19, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I knew the second I met Veronica that I was going to somehow convince her to be my new best friend.

That’s not creepy at all… Right?! ;)

Veronica is pure sunshine in human form. It’s impossible to not laugh when she’s around; she truly lights up every room she’s in. Oh… And she also happens to be our someday Mary Poppins whenever our adoption dream finally comes true! :)

We knew Veronica and Greg were a special couple and that their wedding day was going to be amazing when she started talking about having a ball pit at her reception. I mean… This was a bride after my whole heart! Even though that never came to pass, every bit of their day was so “them.” From the coloring book-style ceremony programs to their dueling pianos reception, I can’t imagine anything different for these two. Ok, except maybe adding that ball pit! ;)

And SO, without further ado, thank you Veronica and Greg for being so patient… Enjoy your wedding preview!!!!!!!!!!
