Kelly + Sean : Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian and Epcot

June 6, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kelly and Sean were “super likes” on Tinder. While their first date was less than ideal (think loud venue, a forgotten ID, a hidden Disney obsession!), but once they left to a bar where they could actually hear each other, it was clear something was “there.”

Fast-forward and they’re at one of their favorite places, Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu. After Sean hid Kelly’s engagement ring so well even he couldn’t find it(!), and a golf cart’s il-timed driveby almost ruined the proposal, Sean finally took a knee and Kelly blurted out her “YES!” through her tears! :)

While Sean was the Disney fan of the two of them, it didn’t take much convincing to get Kelly on board after their first trip together. He was so excited to share his favorite place with his favorite adventure buddy, and when it came time to choose a wedding venue, it was Disney or bust!

Sophie + Mikey : Disney Escape Wedding Day

June 4, 2018 by Jensey 3 Comments

If every wedding day involved listening to British accents, I’d be in heaven. <3

Sophie and Mikey came across the pond to be married, and how lucky we were to be their chosen photographers!

Sophie got ready for the day at Bay Lake Tower, which meant Nate was able to get one of my favorite hanging dress photos of the year! :)

Y’all know how I feel about wedding days full of COLOR! Sophie as a bride made my heart so happy! :)

Between her up-do, British accent, and tea length white dress, Sophie really did look like a modern day Mary Poppins, Jolly Holiday style! Luckily when I gushed this to her in person, she admitted it was maybe the best compliment I could have given her! :)

First look with her sweet dad. <3

Mikey, your reaction melted me!!!

Just a little post-kiss alter pinky swear. <3

Faaaaaavorite. The love between these two was palpable.

BIRTHDAY CAKE CASTLE TATTOO. THIS IS SERIOUS DISNEY LOVE RIGHT HERE. <3

“I’m where I’m meant to be.” One of my favorite Disney song lyrics so perfectly fit. <3

That “Best Day Ever” veil! <3

Sophie and Mikey, your day went by WAY too quickly. Let’s do it again next year!!!! :)

Rachael + Matt : California Grill Wedding Reception and Epcot Dessert Party (Wedding Part II)

September 15, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Before you read this, make sure you’ve read Rachael and Matt’s Wedding Part One!!!

Epcot wedding days are early wedding days. Most of our brides pull all-nighters before their wedding, because they’re drunk on wedding magic, pixie dust, and adrenaline! Well, that and their hair and make up team is showing up at 3am. ;)

We tend to set our alarms for 4am to start our day, get back home to take a nap after lunch, download cards, feed Huck, and head out for the dessert party. It’s not uncommon for me to wistfully tell Nate how amazing it’d be to have a room at the resort we finished at so we could just walk to our room and crash! Well, imagine my surprise when we left Rachael’s wedding and Nate pulled the car into the Boardwalk to valet! He told me he made lunch reservations (which I was a little peeved about because I just wanted to go home and sleep!!), but we checked in to our room instead. <3

It was so fun to just walk into the back entrance of Epcot a little early for the dessert party, grab a drink at the Rose and Crown, and shoot some fireworks!

But back to the wedding. ;) Their reception took place at the California Grill, probably my favorite Disney reception spot! I can never get enough of all that natural light and that view of my favorite park.

Rachael and Matt love dinosaurs. Like, LOVE dinosaurs. Rachael painted a bunch of little gold dinos to sprinkle around their tables, and she and Matt entered their reception to the Jurassic Park theme song! :) Rachael’s favorite movie is The Good Dinosaur, and their cake was themed to Pixar’s “Lava” short with characters from The Good Dinosaur around it. Juuuuuuust wait for the photos, y’all. <3

SO much love for this wedding. ENJOY!!!!!!

Kicking things off with my favorite ring shot of the year so far, a la Nate’s camera magic! <3

That viiiiiiiiiiew! <3

Sing it with me now!

“I have a dream I hope will come true
That you’re here with me and I’m here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava!”
