Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

November 2, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Continued from Ashley and Billy’s wedding part ONE! <3

It’s a two-parter kinda wedding day, because 70+ photos are just too much for one post!

CEREMONY TIME! I love, love, love, love, LOVE that these guys walked down the aisle TOGETHER. This is what we would do. <3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd who needs a candle ceremony or sand ceremony when you can have a peanut butter and jelly ceremony?! These guys made their sandwich while their officiant read out the reasons linking Billy to peanut butter and Ashley to jelly. <3

Plus, what bride wouldn’t go for a mid-ceremony snack?! <3

We were all confused when during group photos, the entire cast of Beaches and Cream came bearing sodas for the bride and groom!

Turns out Ashley and Billy request the same server, the sweet woman to the right of Billy, every time they eat at the restaurant. They went in for a meal before the wedding, and their server joked that she’ll be there! Sure enough, she came bearing friends, hugs, and their favorite- Vanilla Coke! <3

This was our first time ducking into the new AbracadaBar for photos. I can’t wait to go back for a drink!

I feel like we haven’t shot a wedding in the Atlantic Dance Hall in ages. What a perfect venue for these thespians! :)

During their first dance, they had scrolling photos from their childhood to now. <3

I love that they *both* had mom dances. <3

I haven’t even mentioned their love of penguins yet! Billy proposed in a penguin enclosure at the zoo (If I’m remembering right, there was a musical number involved…), and during the ceremony, their friend read aloud from Sandra Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin.

This one Nate grabbed with their ceremony venue in the background? Seeeeeeriously postcard-worthy. <3

Ashley and Billy, we have nothing but love for y’all. Please keep in touch and we can’t wait to share more sooooooon! <3

Kathy + Jeff : Orlando Florida Wedding Preview

October 22, 2015 by Jensey 2 Comments

The days leading up to a wedding, Nate and I are watching our weather apps like hawks. There are months in Florida during hurricane season that you really never know until hours before whether or not rain will hit, but we’re willing it off with all our might! The hourly forecast for Kathy and Jeff’s ceremony time was all over the board, but we crossed our fingers, hoped for the best, and took as many pre-ceremony photos we could juuuuuuust in case… I’ve never been more thankful for a first look couple!

Kathy wanted their parents and bridal party to quietly watch their first look from the groomsmen balcony- So sweet. <3

Soooooo much love for this silly flower girl!!

The before…

… And the after! In nearly 10 years of weddings, this was our first ceremony in the pouring rain. I’m a strong believer in rain bringing luck to couples on their wedding day, so I think these two are set for life! :)

“Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry, when I take you out in my surrey, when I take you out in my surrey with the fringe on top!” <3

Kathy and Jeff, thank you for smiling through the storm! It couldn’t have happened to a better, more easy going couple! We love y’all and can’t wait to share more soon. :)

Ashley + Brian : Lake Buena Vista Orlando Wedding

I think this is the last of my really, really old ones- Well, at least the ones that took place over a year ago. ;)

You may remember Ashley and Brian’s session with their ridiculously adorable daughter, Ariella. We photographed their family around the Boardwalk last Christmas, and meeting the three of them, it was obvious we were in for a great wedding day! Ashley started her morning at the Boardwalk Inn, getting her hair and make-up done by rockstar stylist Kalie of About Face. We shot Kalie’s wedding yeeeeeears ago, and she’s one of the best hair and make-up talents in town. Book her!!
