Meredith + Chad : Cinderella Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Part I

May 26, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I’m gonna be honest: This was a really, really, REALLY hard wedding to narrow down photos for, y’all! I mean… Gorgeous couple! TWO gorgeous wedding gowns! Emotions! Bright colors! Cinderella’s coach! THREE special guests! A reception with a view of Spaceship Earth! So please forgive me in advance for breaking this one in two, because there are over 115 photos from this day I’m sharing!!

HUGE thank you’s to Stacie at Fairytale Hair and Makeup, Lisa at DFTW, Reverend Kevin Knox, Charles Miles, and our friends at SwitzerWorld for making this wedding a favorite of the year! :)

For the past 13 years, Meredith’s family made an 8 hour drive once or twice a year to stay at the Beach Club Resort. Seeing as this is truly her 2nd home, Meredith and Chad knew a Disney wedding was for them. :)  And I mean… There’s nothing like waking up on your wedding day to the view of monorails whizzing by. <3

BOTH of Meredith’s wedding dresses were designed by Hayley Paige. They were both so unique. <3

Stacie with Fairytale Hair and Makeup was on hand to make sure Meredith was as flawless as possible. <3

THAT. BEADING. Y’ALL. <3

I looooooved the little hints of violet tulle in her dress.

Those first looks when they *both* cry kill me. <3

Nate with filmmaker extraordinaire, Joe of SwitzerWorld!

Meredith and Chad surprised their guests by leaving the ceremony by carriage and returning in a Rolls!

Nate’s photo magic- Love, love, love this one. <3

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding Part II

December 9, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Make sure you saw part one of this gorgeous day first! :)

I’m pretty sure if you look up “fairytale,” this should be the photo that pops up!

Who knew that becoming a wedding photographer would lead to so much time spent editing out droppings from Cinderella’s ponies? ;)

So. Many. Favorites. <3

Fiiiiiiiiiinally reunited with my favorite Orlando ballroom! :)

Maybe my favorite photo I’ve taken all year. <3

Nate’s version of the same moment!

Nicole brought a photo of her with Mickey and Minnie when she was a little girl! <3

Serious bow envy over here…

Charles Miles kept the dance floor packed and even threw in a little N’Sync Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! :)

One of my favorite things about this job is going through Nate’s photos and seeing how *he* saw the day. This was one of my favorite photos from the night!! :)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd if I couldn’t love them more, their last dance was to Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Life. MADE. <3

YOU GUYS. We had such a blast photographing your wedding- Thank you for the incredible honor. Now let’s be friends forever! ;)

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding

December 8, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

There are weddings we love, weddings we really love, and then weddings that when editing, make me think, “Oh, this might be my favorite Disney wedding EVER.”

Nicole and Michael’s day was that wedding for me. Nicole has all the makings of your quintessential Disney princess. She’s kind, gorgeous, and though I can’t confirm it, I’m pretty sure a team of blue birds must dress her every morning. Michael was an absolute sweetheart, and it was so completely evident to everyone around how much he adores Nicole.

We had a dream team of vendors, from us (duh), to Tyler of Beyond Videography, and a magical team of fairy godmothers from Ciro’s Hair Pavilion in NJ who flew down to do hair and make-up! :)

They did an amazing job- Not once, but twice did I hear random little girls gasp and tell their mom “Princess Jasmine is getting married!”

When I pulled photos for their blog post, my heart couldn’t narrow down any less than 90 to share. So, this is a surprise two-parter. (Sorry, Nicole!!) But I’m just that in love with this sweet couple. ❤

Nicole and Michael, I can never thank you enough for letting us be a part of it all. We so hope these photos make you happy!!! :)

Nicole said that for years, she’s looked for an ornate copy of The Princess Bride to put on her bookshelf. Michael to the rescue with the perfect wedding morning surprise! :)

Nate posing these slippers like “real” shoes for this photo made my heart swoon!! :)

Is it weird to love a wedding dress so much you want to marry it? Good. :)

First look love. <3

And then my favorite wedding moment of 2016 happened: Nicole sat on the floor in her big, magic gown (did you see that bow?! Magic!!) in front of the Grand Floridian’s Christmas tree and she and Michael exchanged their wedding gifts.

Blue-box smile! <3
