Sheelagh + Shayne : Lake Buena Vista Orlando, Florida Wedding

April 13, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since their wedding (like, a year!) and I’ve still neglected to blog these two! Unacceptable. Friends, meet Sheelagh and Shayne, quite possibly the sweetest couple we’ve ever met. When we arrived on their wedding day, they had gifts for us from Canada, and even brought the coolest jacket for Huck! We were living in Nashville and he got some great use out of it!

From their first inquiry, Shayne told us, “We laugh louder, smile more, and love life during our trips to Walt Disney World, and we want to share that experience with our friends and families.” I love that so much and love these two more than I can say. :)

This is Claire, the coolest kid I’ve ever met. We had full on conversations over which Disney princess is best, and her concerns with kids watching all these animated movies where the parents die (Frozen had recently come out.) My favorite Claire story was one Sheelagh told us- She and Shayne took her to meet Belle, whom she had also met the night prior. Claire took one look at Belle and asked if she got enough sleep, because she looked so tired compared to their last meeting. That poor face character, but what a story! ;)

Oh my goodness, I love these two. <3

From their Sea Breeze Point ceremony, it was off to a Boardwalk Inn ballroom reception. <3

And then, Sheelagh and Shayne surprised their guests with an Epcot dessert party! They took my favorite wedding day transportation- A Friendship Boat! <3

Sheelagh and Shayne, we love y’all and can’t wait to see you again later this month!!!!! <3

Emily + Chad : Disney Boardwalk Inn Sea Breeze Point Disney Wedding Part I

February 23, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

First off, please remember that Nate and I are still technically out of the office!

I get a lil’ antsy if nothing hits the blog for a week, so I thought I’d break the silence with Emily and Chad’s beautiful wedding, which happens to be a two part-er! Emily and Chad live up north and came down for the most beautiful wedding. Emily has been visiting Walt Disney World since she was a baby, and she and Chad took their first vacation together here, too, so what better place for their wedding?

In their first email, they said they wanted bright, cheerful, fun wedding photos, so hopefully we delivered! :)

I think this may have been the single most touching thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding- In 1949, Chad’s great-grandma wrote a letter to her daughter (Chad’s grandma) on her wedding day. In 1971, his grandma in turn wrote to her daughter, when Chad’s parents got married. And then in 2014, Chad’s Mom wrote a letter to Emily. Just the sweetest- Brides, take note! :)

While I stayed with Emily while she got ready, Nate headed out to meet the guys! :)

This kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! <3

I love this photo of Parker with his “Auntie Em.” <3

Emily was the first person I’d seen rocking the Elsa braid, and I have to say, she looked fabulous. :)

Oh, sisters. :)

Sea Breeze Point ceremony time! :)

Loooove this one of both moms. :)

Part two will be up tomorrow! <3

Dayna + Peter : Disney Boardwalk Inn Resort Engagement Session

January 20, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Happy New Year, friends!!!! I know I probably shouldn’t be saying that this late in the month, but the Christmas tree behind me says otherwise! ;)

The last few weeks of 2014 were a bit challenging for us to say the least- Between a bout of food poisoning, a lovely plumbing backup in our apartment bathroom, learning that I’m allergic to Christmas trees, and a sinus infection we just can’t defeat, I was anxious for 2015 to get here already. Things are already looking up for us this year- Only one more month until our new home is finished and we’re looking forward to some visits from friends and family in the coming weeks. I hope your new year is looking up, too! :)

Dayna and Peter were one of our first sessions of 2015! These adorable faces come from Vancouver, and even though our first session was rained out, we were able to make some pretty photos together a few days later!

Dayna, you’re beautiful! <3

Faaaaaaaaaaaaavorite!

Dayna and Peter, thank you for picking us! Happy wedding planning, and we hope to see you again! :)
