Alex + Steve : Wedding Part I

August 13, 2012 by Jensey 4 Comments

I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I have the most horrid fake British accent. I like using it because it’s the quickest way to make Nate laugh, but the truth is… I sound like an awful, awful slightly-southern version of Dick Van Dyke’s Bert in Mary Poppins. I actually used to *think* I had it pretty well set, but judging by the reactions of my closest friends and family, I seem to be ‘accent deaf’ like people are tone deaf!

That being said, I love a good British accent, so any time we get a booking from a couple across the pond, I get so excited to spend the day listening to their friends and family speak! Alex and Steve were no exception, and this wedding day was full of “lorries” and “lifts” and “spoonfuls of sugar.” Ok, I may have added that last one in for fun, but you get the picture. :)

Alex and Steve got ready at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, where they had a kick-ass view of the savannah.

Patricia LeJeune’s team was on hand, so we knew the day would begin smoothly. :)

Alex’s bridesmaids reminded me so much of Katie and Hayley, the bridesmaids at Victoria and Jack’s wedding. SO sweet and supportive- I’m officially taking applications for British best friends, if anyone’s interested! ;)

Alex made her bouquet from a vintage lampshade!

You know I have a special place in my heart for our teary grooms. <3

FAVORITE!

I promise we were happy to be there. ;)

Part two coming up next with some especially dapper guests. ;)

Liz + Bryan : Wedding Part II

Continued from Liz and Bryan’s Wedding Part I. :)

I love a good daytime exit!

Thank you to the random guests who offered their surrey for a few photos! :)

I love how well their colors worked with the Atlantic Dance Hall.

For their first dance, Bryan’s friend crooned “That’s All.” So sweet.

My favorite thing about Disney weddings? All the little kiddies that come up and compliment the couple. :)

Mad props to Liz and Bryan who instead of a “first look,” gave us tons of time after the reception for some photos around the Boardwalk Inn. We were able to get shots like this… Any New Girl fans out there? ;)

Favorite.

We ended photos at a place near and dear to my heart, the Bellevue Lounge, where they ended the night with best friends and drinks.

I don’t have a photo of it, but the night ended with us getting a giant, spontaneous group hug from Liz and Bryan’s bridal party! It was pretty much wonderful, and we left on a warm fuzzy overload. Liz and Bryan, WE LOVE YOU! Let us know whenever you make it to Nashville! :)

Liz + Bryan : Wedding Part I

July 17, 2012 by Jensey 12 Comments

Liz had a hunch Bryan would propose during their winter trip to Disney. They planned a romantic dinner for two at Jiko (my favorite!), but when they sat down and Bryan dropped the bomb that he was still working on the ring, Liz’s heart sank. So much so that she proceeded to pout through their entire meal! When dessert arrived with “Will you marry me?” written in chocolate syrup, she realized she’d been dooped and immediately said yes. :) It was only fitting that they chose to get married at Walt Disney World- The scene of the crime!

Liz and Bryan exchanged vows at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian, with their wedding reception following at the BoardWalk Inn’s Atlantic Dance Hall.

As if they weren’t amazing enough, Liz and Bryan’s had their friend do this original piece for us. I loooooooove it!!!!!!!!!!

I love Liz’s “I’M GETTING MARRIED!” face. :)

Two of the cutest flower girls EVER. Nate and I always joke that they should have a flower girl/ ring bearer rental company, and these two would bring in the big bucks!

Liz and her best friend Meghan had been Tweeting at us for a good year before the wedding. When the date finally came, I felt like we were old friends already!
