Anna + Jon : Orlando Wedding Photographer

November 21, 2015 by Jensey 1 Comment

HOW IS IT ALMOST THANKSGIVING?!

I feel like I blinked and November is nearly gone! I owe our weddings this month some preview photos, so we’re kicking things off with Anna and Jon! <3

I missed out on meeting these guys during their engagement session because of my silly gallbladder, but was so looking forward to their wedding day.

I love an out-of-the-country-but-still-only-30-minutes-from-my-dog wedding day! <3

These reactions to Major Domo were some of my all-time favorites! :)

OUR FIRST BUBBLE GUN EXIT, YOU GUYS.

ALLLLLLLLLLLL THE BUBBLES!

Nate’s favorite!

My favorite. :)

Always making friends with micro-guests! <3

Any guesses who their surprise guests were? <3

Anna and Jon, thank you for everything- We wish you the very best!! :)

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.

Just married faces!!!! :)

I love that Bonnie carried details from her brooch bouquet to her wedding cake.

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

Bonnie and Alec, we wish y’all the happiest ever after! :)

Harper : Winter Garden Halloween Mini Session

Downtown Winter Garden provided the *perfect* backdrop for our Halloween mini sessions. How precious is Miss Harper?! We photographed her Mom and Dad’s wedding years ago- It was so fun to catch up and see their little family in action! :)

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

Still awake on the boat to their reception! ;)

Oh Melanie and Brent, we love y’all and wish you the best!!
