Mary + Stephen : California Grill Wedding Reception

by Leave a Comment

Mary and Stephen were together for 12 years before getting married!
Their meeting story involves a chance meeting, impromptu lunch, her asking how he spells his name (because she wanted to see if it was the same as the Taylor Swift song “Hey Stephen,” obviously!)
Now they’ve been through college years, first jobs, new jobs, natural disasters, loss, all of it. Their love of Disney brought them to having their wedding here, and I’m so excited to share their story with you!

Carolyn + Justin : Walt Disney World Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Carolyn and Justin met in Raleigh and had been together about 4 years before planning their wedding. It was Justin who encouraged Carolyn to consider having a Disney wedding! They visited for the first time together as a couple and were hooked. <3

I do feel like once you start to consider a Disney wedding, it’s hard to find an alternative! :)

One of my faaaaaaavorites!!

I looove the foggy feel of these photos around the Yacht and Beach Club!

Marriedddddddddd! <3

Is it a Disney wedding if you don’t serve Mickey waffles?!

These Nate dessert parties I tell you <3

Carolyn and Justin, thank you for having ussssss!! <3

Jennifer + Nick : Grand Floridian Wedding

by Leave a Comment

I’ve had butterflies in my stomach at the start of every wedding day the past year.

Maybe it’s because until this fall, weddings have been fewer and farther in-between. Maybe it’s because by the time their dates get here, our couples have gone though so many fallback wedding plans that I feel like I owe them the best photos we can possibly make. Jennifer and Nick’s wedding was our first. wedding. back. at. Disney. A place where for the past decade, it was rare to go one month apart, but this was a 15 MONTH hiatus!!

I had a lump in my throat from the second we went through the guard gate, and it was nothing short of magical being reunited with the team at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons. The rules may be different this time around and I’m constantly trying to keep up with all the changes but booooooooy is it good to be home. <3

Thank you Jennifer and Nick- you were truly lovely and your wedding day was the first bit of normal I felt in such a long time!!

First look reaction goals right here!! <3

Ohhhh pandemic weddings. Never thought I’d photograph in a face mask and gloves, but when in Rome, right?!

I love a good wedding ceremony pinky promise! <3

Nick’s father couldn’t make it to the wedding, but I love this photo of them Face Timing him immediately after the ceremony.

Off to one of our favorite reception locations- The California Grill!

Jennifer and Nick- Thank y’all for everything!!!! :)
