Cassie + Zach : Holiday Wedding on the Disney Dream Part I

December 7, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Cassie and Zach met online and experienced the longest first date ever, doing all the touristy things on I-Drive in Orlando. :)

Their next test was a 7-night Disney Cruise, thinking if they can survive a week together on a ship, they can last forever! A couple years later and they were engaged on the Disney Fantasy, and shortly after, planned to get married on a Disney Cruise November of 2020.

You can kind of imagine what followed from there, given that the cruise industry was one of the last to return! Take two Disney Cruise wedding was planned for April 2021 and that also got canceled, as did their *3rd* attempt that July.

FOURTH time was the charm for Cassie and Zach, with a wedding on the Disney Dream that November!! My Christmas-loving heart was secretly thrilled with how it turned out, because I’ve wanted to experience the Very Merrytime Cruises forever!

This cruise was the most “normal” I’d felt since the pandemic began. <3

Can you spot Cassie’s wedding dress? Also, I could stare at this lobby decked out for Christmas for days.

Cassie’s shoes had all the past wedding dates scratched off on her shoes! I mean, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry, right?

Our first ceremony at Castaway Cay’s Wedding Pointe!

I told Cassie her dress sparkled so much, it reminded me of Ariel’s glittery dress coming out of the water at the end of the Little Mermaid!!

Part Two here!

Disney Cruise Line : Disney Wish!

Just a teeny peek into the little family vacation we made while Nate photographed Timothy and Vanessa’s wedding day! <3

The last time we cruised as a family was well before the pandemic, we had a 2 year old. This was such a different experience!!

Ollie was shocked to find out his bff neighbor was on board! <3

The single coolest thing about the kids club? Checking your kid in to the club in the lobby and watching them take the slide in. <3

This was the first time we let Ollie take one of our cameras around for photos…

… which resulted in a million gems like this! :)

… and this. <3

Oh gosh our next cruise can’t come soon enough! See ya next year, Disney Wish! :)

Jena + Scott : Disney Cruise Line Wedding Part I

March 31, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Ohhhhh Jena and Scott. <3

From the second we got a red View-Master in the mail for their save the date, I kneeeeeeew this couple was going to be a perfect fit for us. Jena and Scott were originally set to sail February of 2021 but of course Covid had other plans. I’m so, so happy they stuck with their plans and had faith in us to photograph their day!!

My favorite story from the wedding was during Scott’s brother’s speech. Scott called him right after finally kissing Jena, the girl he had a crush on in high school. The only thing that maybe topped the love between Jena and Scott was all the love everyone had for Jena and Scott, not just individually but as a couple.

I want to keep talking but I’m getting antsy to start sharing photos, starting with my favorite!!! We were taking photos at the smoke stack when Donald and Daisy casually walked by and we got to capture this sweet moment! <3

These cruises can be so overwhelming for wedding guests who have potentially never been to Disney, but also never cruised! Jena was an incredible hostess, my favorite thing being when she put all of her guests (and us!) into a big group chat. She was able to use that to tell everyone about where and when to meet, what was going on, and tips for getting the most out of their trip. Their guests always knew where Jena and Scott were if they wanted to join in the fun! <3

Always my must-take photo! <3 “Think Scott will cry?” I asked Jena as we walked to their first look. She laughed, “Oh ABSOLUTELY not!!”⁠ Bridesmaids bouquets, but make them MAGICAL!!
This processional was e v e r y t h i n g.
Ok ok keep scrolling down for part two!! :)
