Meredith + Chad : Cinderella Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Part I

by Leave a Comment

I’m gonna be honest: This was a really, really, REALLY hard wedding to narrow down photos for, y’all! I mean… Gorgeous couple! TWO gorgeous wedding gowns! Emotions! Bright colors! Cinderella’s coach! THREE special guests! A reception with a view of Spaceship Earth! So please forgive me in advance for breaking this one in two, because there are over 115 photos from this day I’m sharing!!

HUGE thank you’s to Stacie at Fairytale Hair and Makeup, Lisa at DFTW, Reverend Kevin Knox, Charles Miles, and our friends at SwitzerWorld for making this wedding a favorite of the year! :)

For the past 13 years, Meredith’s family made an 8 hour drive once or twice a year to stay at the Beach Club Resort. Seeing as this is truly her 2nd home, Meredith and Chad knew a Disney wedding was for them. :)  And I mean… There’s nothing like waking up on your wedding day to the view of monorails whizzing by. <3

BOTH of Meredith’s wedding dresses were designed by Hayley Paige. They were both so unique. <3

Stacie with Fairytale Hair and Makeup was on hand to make sure Meredith was as flawless as possible. <3

THAT. BEADING. Y’ALL. <3

I looooooved the little hints of violet tulle in her dress.

Those first looks when they *both* cry kill me. <3

Nate with filmmaker extraordinaire, Joe of SwitzerWorld!

Meredith and Chad surprised their guests by leaving the ceremony by carriage and returning in a Rolls!

Nate’s photo magic- Love, love, love this one. <3

Head here for part two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continued from Part ONE of Meredith and Chad‘s Wedding day!

After the ceremony was all wrapped up, it was off to the reception! Talk about a room with a view. <3 This was our first reception at the GE Lounge above Test Track!

So this is love, mmmmm, so this is love! <3

Special guest time!!!!

Who needs a “something blue” when you have this alien?! :)

After a quick run home to snuggle Ollie and sneak in a nap, we headed right back to the Yacht Club to walk these guys over to Epcot for their dessert party, and snuck in some photos along the way. :)

Waaaaay too many favorites, but this is up there. <3

I’m still dreaming about these carrot cake cookies at their dessert party. Luckily for us, there were leftovers and we each got to take one home so there was no sharing involved. Our marriage will live to survive another day! ;)

Maaaaaybe my favorite photo I’ve ever captured at a dessert party? Mayyyybe. <3

Meredith and Chad, where do we begin?! Thank you for making our job so easy, treating us like family, and bringing out my dormant southern accent for the day. We love you guys and look forward to the anniversary sessions to come! ;)
