Wade + Bryce : Epcot’s Germany Pavilion Wedding at Walt Disney World Preview

November 8, 2013 by Jensey 8 Comments

I will never, ever forget October 28, 2013: The day Nate and I finally photographed a same-sex ceremony. :)

This is something I’ve been looking forward to since we started shooting weddings. While I’m bummed it took us so long, Wade and Bryce were absolutely worth the wait. I mean, look at these two! <3

To top it off, their ceremony was in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion. The day took place only a couple days after Candice and Jeremy’s, so it was fun to have back to back weddings in our first week back “home!”

Their ceremony was absolutely perfect and we so loved shooting in this pavilion!

Candice + Jeremy : Epcot Canada Wedding at Walt Disney World Preview

November 7, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

Four long years ago, Walt Disney World changed their policy on allowing outside photographers in the parks to photograph ceremonies. While we were able to still shoot gorgeous weddings around the resorts, Nate and I still longed for the day we’d be able to shoot in Epcot again. Lo and behold, the policy was revoked, and we were once again “allowed” in the parks. (You can read more about this in my past blog post here!)

Candice and Jeremy were our first Epcot couple in years, and I can’t imagine a better couple to kick off our return to Epcot. Their ceremony was in the Canadian pavilion, a first for us, and I’m so excited to share some preview photos with y’all! :)

The last time we met Erin and Steve was on their wedding day. You can click the photo below to read Steve’s memory of his and Erin’s wedding day “first look.” :)

Fast forward four years, and now their sweet family looks like this. :)

These guys have been trying to work out a family session with us since Brennan was born, but our Orlando trips never seemed to line up. Until this year! I love that we got to not only meet Brennan, but sweet Dylan, too. :)

Favorite. :)

We were pretty in love with Dylan’s rhino ensemble!

What happens when Brennan decides he’ll only take photos from here on out with his mouth wide open? We go with it! :)

Brennan loves holding his little brother, but my favorite part was when Dylan started crying… Brennan immediately looked at mom and dad and said, “Uh oh!”

Erin and Steve, thank you for finally making this happen! It was wonderful to catch up! :)

Amanda + Derek = Meredith + Brody : Vanderbilt Campus Family Session

November 5, 2013 by Jensey 1 Comment

While Nate and I technically live in Nashville, you can probably tell by our blog posts that we rarely get the chance to actually shoot in our hometown. Luckily for us, when Amanda Googled for Vanderbilt family sessions, she stumbled upon our little blog. I’m so thankful she did, and even though their session took place during 35 degree weather, we had such a fun time getting to know this sweet family!

This photo of Meredith and Brody melts my heart!

There was no better session location for these guys than their alma mater!

I love hearing when siblings are crazy for each other. :)

Brody wasn’t loving our cameras being on him, but it didn’t take too long to find out the secret to getting him to smile…

Brody loves to run! :)

Luckily for us, Nate happens to be an expert at running backwards and shooting!

Brody is also a big fan of “What Does the Fox Say.” So perfect that Amanda found that little fox sweater beanie at Gymboree, and a matching little purse and fox tights for Meredith. :)

Meredith was such a good sport despite being freezing the whole time, and this photo of her crashing on daddy’s shoulder? FAVORITE. Derek, Amanda, Meredith, and Brody, thank you for such a fun time and we hope to do it again!! :)
