Ashton + Nick : Disney Winter Wedding

December 18, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was a college meet-cute: one night during finals, Ashton needed a break from studying. She drove to a friend’s house at a nearby college, but she wasn’t the only one with that idea!  Nick was there to escape studying, too. :)

One proposal in front of Walt Disney World’s Cinderella Castle later, and it was time to get to planning that dream wedding!

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!

Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

March 10, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.

Gabrielle’s flower girl killed it in her role!!!!

I could barely shoot through my *own* tears watching Logan’s reaction to seeing Gabrielle for the first time!

Their reception was held at Disney’s Atlantic Dance Hall, a venue I haven’t photographed in aaaaaages and it felt so good to be back!

Gabby and Logan, thank you for having us!!! It was such a fun day!!!! :)
