Continued from Part One. :)


The sweetest surprise of the day? Nicole’s father surprised everyone (her included!) with some verrrrry special guests…

Nicole and Brian had notes on each table instructing their guests that if they wanted the couple to kiss, they needed to serenade them with a love song first! <3

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

November 2, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Continued from Ashley and Billy’s wedding part ONE! <3

It’s a two-parter kinda wedding day, because 70+ photos are just too much for one post!

CEREMONY TIME! I love, love, love, love, LOVE that these guys walked down the aisle TOGETHER. This is what we would do. <3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd who needs a candle ceremony or sand ceremony when you can have a peanut butter and jelly ceremony?! These guys made their sandwich while their officiant read out the reasons linking Billy to peanut butter and Ashley to jelly. <3

Plus, what bride wouldn’t go for a mid-ceremony snack?! <3

We were all confused when during group photos, the entire cast of Beaches and Cream came bearing sodas for the bride and groom!

Turns out Ashley and Billy request the same server, the sweet woman to the right of Billy, every time they eat at the restaurant. They went in for a meal before the wedding, and their server joked that she’ll be there! Sure enough, she came bearing friends, hugs, and their favorite- Vanilla Coke! <3

This was our first time ducking into the new AbracadaBar for photos. I can’t wait to go back for a drink!

I feel like we haven’t shot a wedding in the Atlantic Dance Hall in ages. What a perfect venue for these thespians! :)

During their first dance, they had scrolling photos from their childhood to now. <3

I haven’t even mentioned their love of penguins yet! Billy proposed in a penguin enclosure at the zoo (If I’m remembering right, there was a musical number involved…), and during the ceremony, their friend read aloud from Sandra Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin.
