Jackie + Chris : Orlando, Florida Wedding

May 11, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

We were so excited when Jackie and Chris asked us to photograph their day!

A Disney weddings “Dream Team” was on hand with Tyler of Beyond Videography by our side and Carol, one of our favorite DFTW planners leading the day! When we learned Jackie and Chris also dressed up as Lilo and Stitch for Halloween one year, we knew we’d be a great match! <3

We showed up to a villa at the Boardwalk Inn to capture Jackie and her girls getting ready. Nate and I love to ease into wedding day photos by starting with photographing our couple’s wedding details. My favorite thing to photograph lately is wedding rings! We’ve had more and more couples keeping these in the bride’s room when we get there so I can get a variety of photos in natural light before the ceremony. :) It also gives me more time to play with the rings on some personal items, like invitations or other trinkets like this- a drawing by one of Jackie’s bridesmaids!

Jackie’s mother and maid-of-honor got her dressed, and then we headed out to the porch for a little “bridesmaid first-look.” So sweet! <3

I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s common for unique things to come in two’s at our weddings. This week, we had two amazing choreographed first dances! You couldn’t even see them mouthing out “One two three, one two three!” This first photo is one I got of them practicing their first dance in their empty reception before guests came in…

… And then Nate grabbed these during their actual first dance! :)

Chrissy + Crit : Boardwalk Inn Wedding

April 20, 2016 by Jensey 8 Comments

What’s that? A full blog post just two days after our most recent wedding? Ok! <3

This fourth grade teacher and archivist met online. Crit’s first trip to Walt Disney World was with Chrissy, where he popped the question. What better place to get married than in this special place, turning their wedding into a big family vacation? :)

Everything about this day was perfect, from the freakishly-beautiful April weather (seriously, Orlando- This year has been amazing!) to Chrissy’s ensemble. I loved her lace sleeves and succulent bouquet, making her look so ethereal. They couldn’t have been sweeter or their families kinder; it was the most perfect day to kick off wedding season!

Ready to swoon? When it was Crit’s turn for his vows, he started by telling us his “favorite napkin story,” because who doesn’t have one of those, right? ;) Well, Crit was out to dinner with a friend shortly after he and Chrissy started dating, and was telling his friend about how smitten he was. His friend pushed a little further, asking flat-out if Crit thinks Chrissy is the girl he wants to marry. Crit said yes, and his friend pulled out a napkin and wrote :

9:37pm

9/17/2010

Crit decided he was going to marry Chrissy!

And then signed it. Crit kept that napkin for six years, knowing it could come in handy some day, particularly on his wedding day. Chrissy never even knew about the napkin until he pulled it out from his pocket. So. stinking. sweet. <3

Chrissy and Crit, it was an absolute honor. Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!!! :)

Shortly after their ceremony, a stranger walking by handed the newlyweds this gift card! How random and cool is that?!

Brittney + Keith : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Atlantic Dance Hall Reception

June 22, 2015 by Jensey 6 Comments

Hooray! We’ve finally made it to post-surgery blog posts. ;)

Brittney and Keith had been together nearly 7 years when she first contacted us! A true Disney fan, Brittney knew her whole life she’d want a Disney wedding, so it was really special seeing her lifelong dream become a reality! So many of Brittney and Keith’s friends and family came down to watch them get married at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, and have their reception at the Boardwalk Inn’s Atlantic Dance Hall. Those have become my two favorite venues during these crazy humid Orlando days! :)

Brittney and Keith, enjoy your preview!
