Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

by Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire: Pamela
Hair & Makeup: A Touch Of Fierce
Bride’s Dress Designer : David’s Bridal
Rentals: Chiavari chairs from Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals


We set our alarms for 4:30am for Katie’s day. This sunrise made the eye bags so worth it. <3

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3

Rachel + Rhys : Summer Wedding at Disney’s Sea Breeze Point

by 1 Comment

Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite meet cutes I’ve ever heard: Rachel hired Rhys to be her ski instructor for a week. Lessons turned to coffee, coffee turned to dinner, and before they knew it, they were in love. <3
Rhys proposed to Rachel where else?! On top of a snowy mountaintop! Rachel said she was *terrified* to drop the ring in the snow and lose it forever! But fear not- The ring made it home and Rachel planned her dream wedding across the pond in Walt Disney World. That’s right- They got engaged in the snow and married on one of the hottest summer days we’ve ever photographed! :)
Hair & Makeup : Beaute Speciale
Bridesmaids Dresses : Chi Chi London
Groom and Groomsmen Suits/Tuxes : Torre Royal Blue morning suit from Dobell

Their ceremony took place at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk! :)

Every ceremony should end with a pinky promise. <3

Rachel and Rhys, thank you for letting us be a part of your daaaay!! <3

Katrina + Steven : Orlando Destination Wedding Photographer

by 1 Comment

It all began with a marriage proposal on their 7 year anniversary! Katrina and Steven are from England, and Steven popped the question while on a trip to New York. :)

It was an absolute honor to photograph this wedding day along with some of our favorite friendors- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup and Joe and Kristen of Switzerworld! I’m so excited to see their finished film! :)

Kicking things off with my favorite! <3

This vintage ring box held Katrina’s grandmother’s ring. :)

I love a good custom ring box, especially when there are floating lanterns involved! <3

Real-life fairy godmother- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. <3

One of my all time favorite father/daughter first looks- Equal parts silly and sweet.

Katrina, you made a gorgeous bride! <3

This moment. <3

Just a little pre-reception gaming in the arcade next door! <3

Post-cake smash icing in your hair? I got your back! ;)

Last dance squeeze with Kristen! :)

Katrina and Steven, thank you for having us!! :)
