Kayla + Idit | Villa Festa Wedding in Deland, FL

July 20, 2025 by Jensey 1 Comment

One of our favorite things about this job is that no matter how many weddings we photograph, there are still gems we haven’t discovered yet! Villa Festa in Deland was such a gem. Tucked away in Deland, this venue is perfect if you have a smaller guest list, an iffinity for huge moss trees, and like the feel of getting married in a cozy venue. Think cats on outdoor fountains, creeky doors, and textures galore.

Kayla and Idit fit this venue to a T! We loved getting to know these two and their sweet families. :)

My favorite part of this wedding? They had the best wedding favor idea I’ve seen!!!! Kayla and Idit are avid readers who love cuddling up with a good book. Kayla and her mother searched 2nd hand stores for months finding quirky coffee mugs that fit their personalities. Each guest took home a mug of their choosing and a bookmark with one of their favorite quotes. :)

Kayla and Idit, thank you for having us. Wedding vendor friends, thank you for making it such a fun one!!

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!
