Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

March 10, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.

Gabrielle’s flower girl killed it in her role!!!!

I could barely shoot through my *own* tears watching Logan’s reaction to seeing Gabrielle for the first time!

Their reception was held at Disney’s Atlantic Dance Hall, a venue I haven’t photographed in aaaaaages and it felt so good to be back!

Gabby and Logan, thank you for having us!!! It was such a fun day!!!! :)

Sometimes the most lovely couple gets the most lovely light and the most lovely weather and has the most lovely flower girl, and then you get two DOGS on top of it all and it just ends up being the most, most lovely wedding. :)

And then there was this little miss- She was Nate’s shadow all day and I lost count of how many times I caught her running after my husband with outstretched arms, lol!

Ollie saw me editing the next two photos, and his captions were my favorite!

This one: “They sleepin’, Mama.”

“LOOK! She wake up!” <3

Second favorite part of their wedding day? La Hora Loca! Their guests all donned colorful masks as two drummers and two dancers burst through the door to have “the crazy hour!”

Not even gonna caption this one, but they know what happened, lol! ;)

Adriana and Blake, we cannot thank you enough for having us- SUCH a fun day and we hope you love your photos as much as we loved taking them! :)
