Kaitlyn + Michael | Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

September 25, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kaitlyn and Michael met in high school while working together at Kaitlyn’s uncle’s restaurant! 5 years later, Michael asked Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend on the 4th of July, so fireworks are extra special to them as a couple.

After a proposal at Virginia Beach (think huge “MARRY ME” letters and flowers in front of the ocean), Michael was happy to follow along with Kaitlyn’s dream Disney wedding! They even brought their moms to Walt Disney World to tour their dream venues. We were so excited for this one- they were married in Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, had their cocktail hour in Italy Isola, and danced the night away at the American Adventure Rotunda!

My favorite part about sharing weddings from years past- seeing sweet faces we miss working with!! Hi Charlotte!!
Off to the American Adventure Rotunda!!
Kaitlyn and Michael had their wedding party compete for who would have the best intro. I believe these guys came into “Gaston” and this bridesmaid kicked his butt:
This was Prince Ali, where she got wheeled in!
The winner being announced :)
Kaitlyn and her mom danced to “Edelweiss” and we all cried.
They handed out light up bracelets that synced together, like a Taylor Swift concert!!
Bouquet toss from the upstairs balcony!
Kaitlyn and Michael, this was so much fun to revisit!! We wish y’all the happiest ever after!! :)

Ally + Erik | Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

September 15, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

A story straight out of Hallmark Christmas movie! Taken straight from their wedding website, because I couldn’t tell their story better myself.

Picture this: It’s the height of Covid, summer of 2020, and the world-shattering pandemic brings two young, available people to Knoxville Tennessee. Who is she?  A young attorney, returning to her hometown from the big city and hot shot job at a major law firm. Him? A humble farm boy, at the start of a career in ministry (King David vibes, anybody?). Meeting while volunteering in their church’s student ministry was the first step in what would ultimately be a beautiful journey of falling in love and deciding to spend the rest of their lives on mission together.

Maddie + Taylor | Classic Fairy Tale Wedding in Orlando, FL

July 16, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was November of 2020 when two mutual friends of Maddie and Taylor decided to have a small backyard wedding instead of postponing their original wedding. Maddie made their wedding cake, and during the cake tasting, she learned that she and Taylor shared a love of hockey (despite rooting for rival teams!)

Between joint bachelor and bachlorette parties and behind-the-scenes wedding prep, it was impossible to ignore that there was something special going on between them.

With a shared love of good food and wine, traveling, their relationship grew and in April of 2023, Taylor proposed to Maddie at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville.

Huge thanks to our wedding team!!
