Jennifer + Nick : Grand Floridian Wedding

September 15, 2021 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I’ve had butterflies in my stomach at the start of every wedding day the past year.

Maybe it’s because until this fall, weddings have been fewer and farther in-between. Maybe it’s because by the time their dates get here, our couples have gone though so many fallback wedding plans that I feel like I owe them the best photos we can possibly make. Jennifer and Nick’s wedding was our first. wedding. back. at. Disney. A place where for the past decade, it was rare to go one month apart, but this was a 15 MONTH hiatus!!

I had a lump in my throat from the second we went through the guard gate, and it was nothing short of magical being reunited with the team at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons. The rules may be different this time around and I’m constantly trying to keep up with all the changes but booooooooy is it good to be home. <3

Thank you Jennifer and Nick- you were truly lovely and your wedding day was the first bit of normal I felt in such a long time!!

First look reaction goals right here!! <3

Ohhhh pandemic weddings. Never thought I’d photograph in a face mask and gloves, but when in Rome, right?!

I love a good wedding ceremony pinky promise! <3

Nick’s father couldn’t make it to the wedding, but I love this photo of them Face Timing him immediately after the ceremony.

Off to one of our favorite reception locations- The California Grill!

Jennifer and Nick- Thank y’all for everything!!!! :)

Stephanie + MJ : Disney Wedding in Orlando, Florida

February 22, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They met fall of 2015 at a charity fundraiser for a mutual friend. MJ was photographing the event but couldn’t help but notice Stephanie and her piercing blue eyes, and as the story has it, Stephanie couldn’t help but watch MJ hard at work. <3
When they finally got to spend time together (they lived in different states!), Stephanie and MJ felt like they’d known each other forever. It was love almost instantly, and MJ proposed the following year during a game night at home. MJ worked her proposal into a trivia game- Stephanie was so focused on answering the fake question that MJ had to ask her twice before she realized MJ was proposing!!
Disney is a really big part of their family. Stephanie, her father, and her daughter Kendall used to go to Disney all the time with just the 3 of them. It was beyond special to MJ when she was first invited along, so there was no more special place to have their wedding than Walt Disney World. <3
Stephanie and MJ, we can’t thank you enough for letting us follow along- Enjoy your preview!!

Jen + Travis : Luau Pointe Vow Renewal at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Part I

February 5, 2020 by Jensey 1 Comment

You don’t have to dive too far into Jen and Travis’s “about” page to learn about their love of Disney! So it was only fitting that this fellow husband and wife wedding photography team came down to Orlando for their 10 year vow renewal. <3

Their two dogs (Doc & Marty) weren’t able to make it to the wedding, but they were surrounded by so much love and support by the other important figures in their lives! We loved getting to know these guys, talking shop, and seeing that like us- Most of their close friends are past couples whose weddings they’ve shot! :)

It’s always the deepest honor to be asked to document someone’s wedding day, but there’s a different level of honor (and to be completely honest- anxiety!) when it’s a fellow wedding photographer.

Jen and Travis, thank you so much for having us along for the ride- We hope we did you proud! <3

Starting things off with one of my favorites of the day, their wedding bands along with their vow renewal bands.

We took portraits before their ceremony at Saratoga Springs. Just like my childhood, Jen grew up staying here (we both even stayed when it was the Disney Institute!) We mainly shot around Congress Park and I’m so happy with what we came away with! :)
