Katie + Patrick : Quantum Leap Winery Wedding

March 30, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Ohhhh, how quickly life can change in one short month! On Leap Day, we photographed our first wedding at Quantum Leap Winery.

The *only* time the word Corona was brought up in conversation was talking about how badly we felt that our couple had to change their honeymoon plans because of it. If we only knew what life would look like just two weeks later.

I’ve gone back and forth on whether to keep blogging and posting weddings out of respect, but I think it’s time to get the ball rolling again. I know *I* feel relief seeing non-news posts in my feed, and I think now is the perfect time to remind our couples that life moves on. Our brides are still planning weddings and I want to share the happiness we had the honor of shooting this spring before dates got rescheduled!

So on to these two. <3

If you follow along with the blog, Katie and Patrick were our famous Skyliner couple!! You can click the photo below for more favorites from that shoot! :) Katie was on the small team of people responsible for dreaming up the Skyliner and bringing it to life, so this location was a must! <3

Leap Day is Nate and my dating anniversary, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than watching these two tie the knot. <3

Alison from Blush by Brandee Gaar planned the day flawlessly! :)

The sweetest first look <3

Cute kids were in abundance this day! First up, this stud muffin! <3

Katie, you looked stuuuuuunning! <3

Look. At. This. Venue!!!!!!!!!!! Be still, my little wine-loving heart!! <3

Scooby watching along!! <3

Katie and Patrick, thank you for having us!!!! <3

Paige and Ernie : Blush by Brandee Gaar Wedding at Bella Collina Part I

January 13, 2020 by Jensey 2 Comments

PAIGE AND ERNIE ARE MARRIED!!!

Fun fact: Paige and Ernie got engaged at Walt Disney World. Shortly after the proposal, Ernie was making small talk with a PhotoPass photographer and asked if they knew of any good Orlando wedding photographers. This person sent them to us and they ended up booking!! Ahh! I wish I knew their name so I could send a thank you note or give a big hug or high five! We are so thankful, so if you happen to be reading this, THANK YOU! <3

It felt like we waited forever for this day to arrive!! I’ve been stalking Ernie’s Instagram since Nate told me he has an account for his Disney park photography! (You should totally go follow him.) He and Paige were a match made in marching band history and their day was full of love, friends who adore them, excellent jumpers, and one particularly impressive triangle performance by Ernie’s best man at the reception! ;)

We had such a wonderful team of friends making this day happen! I love that when 2019 began, we’d never met Jess of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and now two weddings in, we can’t wait to work with her smiling face again in February! They were married at Bella Collina, my favorite Orlando wedding venue, Jim from FyerFly kept the dance floor packed, and this was the first wedding our pal Kim tried her hand at videography! Nate and I were smiling from the moment we picked up our cameras until we went to bed feeling like we’d made two great new friends. <3

Thank you to this team for making our part of the puzzle so easy! :)
