Amanda + Jeff : Orlando Florida Wedding

August 22, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can think of no better time to share this happy December wedding than today, in the dead of August (FLORIDA in August at that!), when I could use the reminder that we’re this close to more beautiful weather! :)

We love Amanda and Jeff and knew from their engagement session (remember the Santa Mickey hats on the beach?) that we were going to love their wedding day. Jeff is a Fantasyland cast member, which happens to be *my* old workplace that I miss dearly, and it’s impossible to not smile when you’re around Amanda!

They were married at the Yacht Club Gazebo and had their reception in Ariel’s. I love that their best friend married them (though I’m a little partial to that!), and their DJ, Elliot, quickly became my favorite Disney DJ next to Charles Miles! :)

One of my favorites- So much happy in one photo! <3

I love when couples “play” a little bit instead of using traditional songs to walk down the aisle. Jeff and his parents came into “Come and Get Your Love” and had everyone dancing and smiling along! :)

I’m 99% sure Amanda walked into the theme song from The Princess Diaries, which is all kinds of perfect. <3

CHRISTMAS IS COMING YOU GUUUUUYS. <3

I’ll never forget their sweet first dance to “Define Dancing” from Wall-E. I think of them every time it comes on my playlist. <3

SO. MUCH. HAPPY.

The BEST wedding to end the year with. I MEAN!!! :)

Amanda and Jeff, we love y’all too much! Vow renewal soon please!! :)

Alexis + Rich : Orlando Florida Wedding Photographer

Alexis and Rich take bi-yearly trips to Walt Disney World with best friends for Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival, so it only made sense for their wedding to take place then, too! They both love photography but are hardly in photos together.

This was one of the happiest, most colorful weddings we’ve ever been a part of. Alexis was completely inspired by Erin and Rick’s colorful wedding (read about that one here!), and used a lot of the same simple elements to make a big, colorful impact, like the tissue paper pom poms and streamer exit. :)

And this little girl… I’ve never seen a more eagerly helpful attendant!!

Loved their first look with their sweet flower girl looking on! :)

Seersucker bridesmaid dresses FTW! <3

Yes, those would be bouquets made out of recycled Walt Disney World park maps!

So. Stinking. Happy!

I looooooooove when family members get ordained to perform wedding ceremonies. Doesn’t get more personal and heartfelt than that! :)

And now their Small World-inspired wedding reception!!!

We love seeing Kathryn Flocken at weddings- Her silhouette portraits are amazing! You can visit her website here. :)

Alexis and Rich, thank y’all so, so much for having us!! :)

How is Christmas over already, y’all?!

Before Nate and I head out on our field trip to Cape Canaveral today, I wanted to post some preview photos for the ever-patient Amanda and Jeff! This was our last Disney wedding of 2015, and such a perfect way to wrap up another great year. :)

Amanda and Jeff, we truly love y’all- ENJOY! <3
