Erin + Tom : Fairy Tale Wedding at Walt Disney World

May 3, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

They were set up by their mothers. <3

All part of the same circle of friends in Siesta Key, Erin and Tom’s moms planned for Erin to join Tom’s family on a VIP tour at Walt Disney World. Sparks flew immediately, and they spent their first evening together at Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tour watching Wishes… and subsequently staying up talking until 2am! I love that their wedding day brought this story full circle when they ended their day with a dessert party overlooking the Magic Kingdom fireworks. :)

Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup did her usual magical job. <3

Erin gifted Tom Mickey cufflinks! <3

You know it’s a good day when you start the morning with a view of your wedding venue. <3

I love these photos of Erin writing Tom her wedding day love note, but can we talk about those SLIPPERS?!

First look time! :) First with Dad…

… And then her girls! :)

I looooooved how their ballroom turned out! Jamie was their planner and she did such a phenomenal job! :)

First dance magic. :)

Erin and Tom were engaged on the Grand One Yacht, and we were able to sneak away for some photos there during the reception! :)

Choreographed father daughter dance! :)

Erin and Tom, thank you for lettings us be a part of your day!! We wish you all the magic in the world! :)

Jenna + Tyler Wedding Part I : Grand Floridan Wedding

April 30, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Jenna and Tyler. <3

I love all of our couples, but boy do I love the ones who can roll with changes. Being an Orlando photographer, more often that not, we’re faced with Plan B’s. Maybe the heat is more than our bride anticipated, maybe there’s a freak cold front that brought 40º temps in March. More often than not, it’s rain. :( I feel like I spent more time on my phone watching the weather radar than ever on this day- Hoping and praying it’d just disappear, but instead, it just kinda threatened all day. Just about everything was moved- their cocktail hour, reception venue- Even Illuminations was canceled! We’ve never seen that happen!

But you’d never know it by being around these two. They took every change in stride and kept everyone else’s spirits up in the meantime! And with Disney, even the backups are pretty darn great. :)

I’m so excited to share photos from this wedding! From the classic silhouette of Jenna’s dress to her ponytail up-do at the reception, I felt like we were photographing a wedding for People Magazine! We loved getting to know their families and how crazy these two are for each other. Enjoy!! <3

These dapper gents!! <3

Nate *always* gets my most favorite relaxed portraits! Don’t even try to tell us you’re not photogenic- You just haven’t met Nate’s camera yet! :)

Reactions to seeing their girl in white! <3

Beauties. Every single one of them. <3

Whenever I see a bird before a wedding at the Grand, I assume it’s one of Cinderella’s checking to see if our bride needs help getting in her dress (she did not.) Thank you, bird! <3

Pleeeeeease click here for the rest of this beautiful day! <3

Alex + Aaron : Disney’s Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Epcot Reception

March 24, 2019 by Nathan Leave a Comment

I. Loved. This. Day. <3

Alex and Aaron met on a beach during a Tim McGraw concert at the Tortuga Music Festival. Alex is one of three sisters, Aaron is one of three brothers! But the greatest thing about them is their pup, Hercules! You may have seen the post about their engagement session last week, and wedding day Herc did. not. disappoint. They live in Orlando for once (most of our Disney couples live out of state!), so this means we get to make them our local friends now. <3

One of my favorite details from their wedding morning were these cufflinks Alex had made for Aaron- So so sweet!

Guess who dropped by for a quick hello – Hercules and his cousin, Prince! <3We’ve seen a lot of embroidered parent handkerchiefs over the years, but these had little Mickey embroidered details at the bottom! :) Also, random fact : Alex’s mom is the gorgeous woman kissing her cheek in this photo, and I genuinely thought she was one of her sisters when I first walked in the room!!Alex’s wedding gift from Aaron was this beautiful “A” charm from Tiffany’s. <3I loved all of our portraits of Alex, but I think this one with Hercules is my faaaaavorite! (Sorry, Aaron!)Bridesmaids seeing her for the first time!! Only Alex’s sisters knew what her dress looked like! :)Loooooove this one from her father/daughter first look with her bridesmaids looking on. <3We took them to “my” fountain at the Grand where they stood back to back reading letters to each other before turning around…… And they had quite the audience! Thanks, Spring Break! ;)Tooooo many favorites, but this one’s way up there!If it *had* to rain on a wedding day, at least it was this one, which followed my 2 wishes : Not during portrait time, and with a bride who smiled through it!! :)Off to Epcot for fireworks tiiiiiiime!I love this one of Alex and Aaron just before being announced into their reception. Sneaky Nate! :)Another favorite!!! Alex’s father daughter dance. <3And the award for best bride faces ever… <3Alex and Aaron, we love y’all!!!! Happy Honeymooooooon!! <3
