Kym + Anthony : Orlando Paradise Cove Wedding

March 23, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was one of those “when you know, you know” relationships from the very beginning. Kym and Anthony were together for two years before reaching out for their Disney wedding, and ended up booking Paradise Cove for their dream Central Florida wedding! Paradise Cove is one of those hidden gems of an Orlando wedding venue, complete with an on-site house to get ready, sandy ceremony under huge, mossy trees, a lake view (complete with speedboat entrance for your groom!), and reception just a few steps over under beautiful market lights. <3

Kym’s mother and step mom pinned special momentos to the inside of her wedding dress from her grandmothers no longer with them.

This first look with her dad and step dad just kiiiiiills me!!

Their ceremony was officiated by their friend who set them up, and I loved how personal it made their wedding!

Marrieddddddddddd!!

BEST.

Our first time working with this gem of a man, JW, in so so long!! <3

Kym and Anthony, thank you for giving us the honor of capturing your day!!! <3

Elizabeth + Noah : Grand Floridian Holiday Wedding

December 3, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Noah proposed to Elizabeth in 2020 in front of Cinderella Castle during a special moment with their family. She (obviously!) said yes, and let him know that because he set the bar so high, they needed to get married at Disney now! <3

We were so happy to be a part of it- this was actually our first wedding of 2022!! I thought I’d save it to post in December given that the holiday decorations were still up; Elizabeth and her bridesmaids fit so well with the elegant holiday decor, they could have passed for paid actors Disney brought in to add to the festive cheer! <3

Thank you to Elizabeth and Noah’s vendor team!! :)

Lindsay + Cody : The Preserve at Canyon Lake Wedding

August 23, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They first met in Orlando, as interns on the Disney College Program!! The very first day they went to the parks together, a character asked us if they were together, and they burst out in nervous giggles. Four years later, they were planning their wedding day!

Lindsay and Cody’s relationship was definitely put through it- once their internship was finished, they spent 3(!!!) years in a long distance relationship while they finished their degrees. They still found ways to vacation together, mutually falling in love with each other’s families. Before long, they were engaged, finally living together, and planning a Disney wedding…. until a pandemic came along.

With Disney weddings in a holding pattern for a few months, Lindsay and Cody ended up having an elopement in South Carolina and then moving their wedding date, and eventually the big celebration, to San Antonio. We were honored they still wanted us to be a part of the day and were thrilled to still photograph their celebration!!

It really was one of those days I couldn’t picture any other way. Lindsay found a DREAM of a wedding venue, The Preserve at Canyon Lake, that I wish I could scoop up and move to Central Florida. The house was so spacious and had the most glorious natural light, all sitting on a lake and surrounded by mature trees… it was almost like the venue was built by a photographer! Lindsay and Cody had a Hercules-inspired event with sweet touches from their invitations to their wedding cake, but my favorite was the floral. Their designer at Blume Haus Floral completely transformed the reception space to feel like I was walking into the garden where Megara sang “I Won’t Say I’m in Love.”

Lindsay and Cody, we love you both and hope to see you again soon!!!

Thank you to this phenomenal team for such a beautiful day!!
