Katie + Shandy : Engagement

May 28, 2010 by Jensey 5 Comments

Since today is Katie and Shandy’s wedding day, I thought I should share my favorites from their engagement session. :) Shandy is the cousin of our favorite Orlando videographer, Rainer from Simply Cinematic! :) We shot their engagement around downtown Orlando and had fun exploring some new spots. I know these guys are on our website in the engagement galleries, but I love them too much not to blog!

2nd favorite! :)

FAVORITE! This one will be hanging in our someday studio. :)

Katie, you’re gorgeous!

Their wedding preview is up next. :)

Emily + Stephen : Wedding Part 2

May 26, 2010 by Jensey 10 Comments

… And so we continue the adventure!

Our favorite florist, Lee Forrest, did a lovely job with the centerpieces, and I fell in love with Emily’s cootie catchers at the tables! :)

This was their reaction to seeing the ballroom. :)

Some first dance love for ya…

I spy… A PAST ROOT GROOM! :)

Emily went with all the vendors we suggested, so Joe Magic was on hand to wow the guests. :)

See? :)

In the meantime, we snuck out with the bride and groom for some more photos. :)

Emily requested we take these for the thank you cards they sent to their guests. (FYI- We now offer thank you cards for our couples!)

Nathan isn’t crazy about this shot (even though he took it), but I think it looks so Haunted Mansion-y. :)

SO STINKIN’ CUTE!!!!!!!!

Cutting the cake went smoothly, until it was time to break out the grooms’ cake, which inspired a bit of college rivalry among the guests. ;)

Videographer extraordinaire, Jeffrey Stoner, sneaking a Reeces Peanut Butter Cup. That’s not to say I didn’t do the same. ;)

I had to include this one- Emily breaking it down with our past bride, Courtney!

Favorite. Exit. Photo. EVER! :)

Emily and Stephen, we love you guys! Can’t wait to hopefully see more of you next year. ;)

Emily + Stephen : Wedding Part 1

You guys should all remember Emily and Stephen from their Rollins engagement session I posted last week!

I LOVE HAPPY BRIDES!!! Have I mentioned that before? I can’t express how elated I was when we walked in Emily’s getting ready room, and this is how she reacted:

This is the perfect example of why we recommend Lee Forrest to design the flowers at all of our weddings! His floral arrangements are magical, and everyone just loves him. :)

Emily wore a killer pair of Jimmy Choos. :)

I love this set of Emily’s dad putting on the necklace he picked out for her. So sweet! :)

Emily and Stephen opted for the non-first look. ;)

Emily and Stephen were married in the gorgeous St. Andrews Chapel in Sanford. It’s a new chapel, and my absolute favorite thing about it was the new house smell. :)

Hands down, my favorite moment from the day- The flower girl walking down the aisle with the ring bearer, who was a perfect gentleman and carried her doll. :)
