Jen + Travis : Luau Pointe Vow Renewal at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Part I

February 5, 2020 by Jensey 1 Comment

You don’t have to dive too far into Jen and Travis’s “about” page to learn about their love of Disney! So it was only fitting that this fellow husband and wife wedding photography team came down to Orlando for their 10 year vow renewal. <3

Their two dogs (Doc & Marty) weren’t able to make it to the wedding, but they were surrounded by so much love and support by the other important figures in their lives! We loved getting to know these guys, talking shop, and seeing that like us- Most of their close friends are past couples whose weddings they’ve shot! :)

It’s always the deepest honor to be asked to document someone’s wedding day, but there’s a different level of honor (and to be completely honest- anxiety!) when it’s a fellow wedding photographer.

Jen and Travis, thank you so much for having us along for the ride- We hope we did you proud! <3

Starting things off with one of my favorites of the day, their wedding bands along with their vow renewal bands.

We took portraits before their ceremony at Saratoga Springs. Just like my childhood, Jen grew up staying here (we both even stayed when it was the Disney Institute!) We mainly shot around Congress Park and I’m so happy with what we came away with! :)

Jen + Travis : Luau Pointe Vow Renewal at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Part II

(Continued from Part 1!)

After portraits around Sarasota Springs, it was off to Jen and Travis’s vow renewal at the Polynesian Village Resort. Be still my heart! <3

They *began* their wedding ceremony by walking in through a petal toss and leading guests to the ceremony site. <3

I am so, so, so in love with these Luau Pointe ceremonies! I mean. <3

Jen and Travis officiated the ceremony themselves, with the perfect bit of humor and sentimentality. They lost both of their fathers since their wedding day, and so much of the day honored their memories by quoting their words. My favorite part of the ceremony was when they took turns reading their original vows, and then read what they wanted to add them 10 years later. It was so sweet and simple and the first time in my life I think we maaaaay plan a 20 year vow renewal ourselves. ;)

After family photos, their guests were treated to a complimentary Dole Whip. Look. At. These. Fastpasses!! <3

Instead of having guests toast them, Jen and Travis walked around and introduced, toasted, and occasionally roasted their friends and family. <3

Another favorite thing about the reception?! The gorgeous gal on the left is Ollie’s babysitter! Jen reached out asking if we knew anyone she could hire to take care of the kids’ table at the reception and we knew Jasmine would be the perfect fit! We know how much Ollie adores her, but it was so fun seeing her come in with her bag of tricks and color with a one year old while encouraging a 5 year old to build a tower while going through Brain Teasers with a 10 year old. You could tell that every child felt paid attention to and I think I heard people raving about Jasmine more than their Dole Whips! I hope more couples bring her along for their day!! <3
