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! :)

I’ve never cried so much during a wedding toast!!! Jackie’s sweet college roommate was able to work in Snape’s “Always” into the end of her wedding toast. Cue my Hufflepuff tears!! :)

Liam + Maddie : Orlando Family Session

February 17, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I can’t believe it was 8 YEARS ago since we photographed Lindsey and Eric’s wedding at the Orlando Ritz-Carlton!! I blogged it on my first blog and Lindsey has been our biggest cheerleader ever since. Since then, they’ve been loyal “Root Lifers” with yearly sessions on their Orlando trips. There aren’t enough words to describe our love for these guys, other than to say they are truly my favorites. <3

Ashley + Brian : Lake Buena Vista Orlando Wedding

August 24, 2015 by Jensey 4 Comments

I think this is the last of my really, really old ones- Well, at least the ones that took place over a year ago. ;)

You may remember Ashley and Brian’s session with their ridiculously adorable daughter, Ariella. We photographed their family around the Boardwalk last Christmas, and meeting the three of them, it was obvious we were in for a great wedding day! Ashley started her morning at the Boardwalk Inn, getting her hair and make-up done by rockstar stylist Kalie of About Face. We shot Kalie’s wedding yeeeeeears ago, and she’s one of the best hair and make-up talents in town. Book her!!

I love this one of Ashley’s and Ariella’s shoes and the sparkle they made on the wall. :)

Seriously. Go hire Kalie! :)
