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!!
