Kelly + Sean : Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian and Epcot

June 6, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kelly and Sean were “super likes” on Tinder. While their first date was less than ideal (think loud venue, a forgotten ID, a hidden Disney obsession!), but once they left to a bar where they could actually hear each other, it was clear something was “there.”

Fast-forward and they’re at one of their favorite places, Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu. After Sean hid Kelly’s engagement ring so well even he couldn’t find it(!), and a golf cart’s il-timed driveby almost ruined the proposal, Sean finally took a knee and Kelly blurted out her “YES!” through her tears! :)

While Sean was the Disney fan of the two of them, it didn’t take much convincing to get Kelly on board after their first trip together. He was so excited to share his favorite place with his favorite adventure buddy, and when it came time to choose a wedding venue, it was Disney or bust!

IT IS HAPPENINGGGGG!! First blog post of the yearrrrr!!! *blows dust off blog*

First meeting on an app called MeetMe, Lianna and Bryan’s first messages began in the summer of 2016 and they haven’t stopped since. It was on a cruise with their families where Bryan caught Lianna completely by surprise and proposed at a beautiful restaurant. Lianna and Bryan were married at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion and then partied at Epcot’s American Adventure Rotunda, and they were the sweetest way to kick off our 2024 wedding season! :)

Thank you our wonderful team!!

The morning began at Disney’s Coronado Springs Gran Destino Tower, one of our favorite getting ready locations. :)

First look time at the Grand! <3

It was a dream-team kinda wedding day :) PS- Go book Kimberly of Heart Happy Films, please!

We love a good rock-paper-scissors to see who reads their vows first <3

Off to Epcot for fireworksssss!!

Please notice the adult vs. kid reactions here; never underestimate the love kids of ALL ages have for these rodents!

Lianna and Bryan, thank you for starting our year on such a wonderful note!! We hope you love these photos as much as we loved taking them! :)

Lauren + Rob : Grand Floridian Ceremony and Epcot Reception

September 9, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I LOVE the story behind Lauren and Rob’s proposal:

Before I even met Rob, my family’s favorite part of going to Disney World was walking from our favorite resort, Boardwalk, into Epcot and watching the fireworks show, Illuminations, from Italy. I remember standing on that bridge on a family trip in October 2016 thinking to myself that I couldn’t wait to one day share this spot with that special person. Little did I know, that in less than a year I’d be back there with that person and it immediately became a special spot for us too.

Then Disney announced that Illuminations was going away and devastated, we planned a trip in June 2019 so we could watch it a few more times before it went away. On the second night of our trip, we “bumped into” two friends of ours in Epcot. When we got to Italy, Rob said he was going to the bathroom (but really was getting the ring from my dad in the American pavilion) and came back and said I should do a boomerang of me twirling in my dress on the bridge. We did this a few times and then on the last time, I twirled around and he was down on one knee and proposed.

Then I was surprised by my parents, Rob’s sister and college roommate, and the two friends we bumped into who were in on it all along to be our photographer and videographer. We all had drinks in France, came back to Italy for the fireworks, and then walked to the Boardwalk for dinner. It was truly the best night ever!

Huge thanks to this amazing team for making it one we won’t forget!! <3
