Amanda + Jeff : Timeless Casa Feliz Wedding in Winter Park, Florida

January 28, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Casa Feliz weddings forever have my heart.

I feel like I say that phrase a lot, but boy do I mean it with this venue!! Once upon a time, Nate and I loved it so much we planned a wedding there. Of course, things ended up going a *little* off track when we eloped, but I always get a little nostalgic for our wedding that could have been when we visit. :)

Amanda and Jeff had a truly beautiful day!! The weather was lovely and our vendor team was lovely and we even got cookies to take home at the end of the night, so that was pretty lovely, too. :)

Huge thanks to our vendor team!! <3

Amanda started getting ready at the lovely Alfond Inn in Winter Park. This hotel has quickly become one of our favorites to shoot wedding mornings, with all the big windows and white walls that act as reflectors!

I think this may be the first time I’ve been smitten with the *bottom* of an engagement ring!

Then it was to Casa Feliz to get dressed and ready! :)

First look feels <3

I mean seriously… How magical is this venue?!

It was one of their flower girl’s birthdays, so at the end of the evening, all the guests sang “Happy Birthday,” and she had the huge honor of helping cut their wedding cake!! :)

Amanda and Jeff, thank y’all for everything!!! We hope you love your photos as much as we loved taking them!! :)

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.
