Cassie + Zach : Holiday Wedding on the Disney Dream Part I

December 7, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Cassie and Zach met online and experienced the longest first date ever, doing all the touristy things on I-Drive in Orlando. :)

Their next test was a 7-night Disney Cruise, thinking if they can survive a week together on a ship, they can last forever! A couple years later and they were engaged on the Disney Fantasy, and shortly after, planned to get married on a Disney Cruise November of 2020.

You can kind of imagine what followed from there, given that the cruise industry was one of the last to return! Take two Disney Cruise wedding was planned for April 2021 and that also got canceled, as did their *3rd* attempt that July.

FOURTH time was the charm for Cassie and Zach, with a wedding on the Disney Dream that November!! My Christmas-loving heart was secretly thrilled with how it turned out, because I’ve wanted to experience the Very Merrytime Cruises forever!

This cruise was the most “normal” I’d felt since the pandemic began. <3

Can you spot Cassie’s wedding dress? Also, I could stare at this lobby decked out for Christmas for days.

Cassie’s shoes had all the past wedding dates scratched off on her shoes! I mean, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry, right?

Our first ceremony at Castaway Cay’s Wedding Pointe!

I told Cassie her dress sparkled so much, it reminded me of Ariel’s glittery dress coming out of the water at the end of the Little Mermaid!!

Part Two here!

Krystal + Ben : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on Castaway Cay Part II

Continued from Krystal and Ben’s Disney Cruise Line Castaway Cay Wedding Part I. :)

I just realized that just like our last cruise bride, Kimberly, Krystal is also a fellow wedding photographer. I love that almost every wedding vendor we’ve photographed has either eloped or had a destination wedding like this! :)

Captain Jack seemed a bit concerned when he saw we were shooting with Cannons. :)

After a little bit of bride and groom portrait time on Castaway Cay, it was off to their private reception for cake, toasts, and dances!

I love so much that Ben asked his little sister to be his “Best Woman,” and her speech had everyone (including us) wiping tears.

We were originally going to spend an hour or so after their reception for photos around the boat, but no words could describe how incredibly hot it was! Krystal and Ben made the smart decision to postpone photos until after dinner so they could enjoy the island a bit.

Krystal and Ben, we can’t thank y’all enough for bringing us along on your wedding adventure!!

Krystal + Ben : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on Castaway Cay Part I

August 13, 2013 by Jensey 6 Comments

So now that Nate and I have now photographed a couple Disneyland weddings, just a few Walt Disney World weddings, and one very special vow renewal at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii, it only seemed fitting that we shoot our first wedding on the Disney Cruise Line! Krystal and Ben’s wedding trip took place on the Dream, one of the newest in Disney’s impressive fleet. I loved this boat so hard and I’m already begging Nate for a repeat voyage- 3 days just wasn’t enough! :)

There was no shortage of photo opportunities, that’s for sure. I don’t think we’ve ever spent so long photographing a wedding dress! :)
