Danielle + Michael : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

November 1, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Here’s a new one!!

Once upon a time, Danielle fell in love with Michael, her mom’s personal trainer. :)

They started as friends but 6 months later, started dating. Michael had never been to Disney, but Danielle was used to going a few times per year with her family. They fell in love with the Beach Club, each other, and became annual passholders. Michael proposed at Sea Breeze Point, and even though they had an off-property Catholic wedding, I’m so happy we were able to take some portraits of them there!

I’m beyond excited to share this one. They could both pass for royalty and are one of the sweetest couples we’ve ever had the honor of working with.

Kaitlyn + Michael | Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

Once upon a time, Kaitlyn and Michael met in high school while working together at Kaitlyn’s uncle’s restaurant! 5 years later, Michael asked Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend on the 4th of July, so fireworks are extra special to them as a couple.

After a proposal at Virginia Beach (think huge “MARRY ME” letters and flowers in front of the ocean), Michael was happy to follow along with Kaitlyn’s dream Disney wedding! They even brought their moms to Walt Disney World to tour their dream venues. We were so excited for this one- they were married in Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, had their cocktail hour in Italy Isola, and danced the night away at the American Adventure Rotunda!

My favorite part about sharing weddings from years past- seeing sweet faces we miss working with!! Hi Charlotte!!

Off to the American Adventure Rotunda!!

Kaitlyn and Michael had their wedding party compete for who would have the best intro. I believe these guys came into “Gaston” and this bridesmaid kicked his butt:

This was Prince Ali, where she got wheeled in!

The winner being announced :)

Kaitlyn and her mom danced to “Edelweiss” and we all cried.

They handed out light up bracelets that synced together, like a Taylor Swift concert!!

Bouquet toss from the upstairs balcony!

Kaitlyn and Michael, this was so much fun to revisit!! We wish y’all the happiest ever after!! :)

Ashton + Nick : Disney Winter Wedding

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!
