Jennifer + Raphael : December Disney Wedding

by Leave a Comment

For the first time in years, Nate and I will be taking the last two weeks of December off. We’re moving into our forever home days before Christmas!!

SO with that being said, I’m trying to get some preview photos for everyone since we won’t have the rest of their photos done for another 4-6 weeks when we’re back in an office again! <3

First up? Jennifer and Raphael. <3

I don’t know where to start with these two except to say I think if I could clone a Root couple, this may just be the one I’d choose!

Our closest friends and family have heard about Raphael for the past 18 months from Oliver. Raph was so kind to give our fire truck-loving four year old a tour of Reedy Creek’s Fire Station and he has been in our daily conversations ever since. (Not a single ounce of exaggeration there!)

Jennifer is a true picture of beauty and patience- graciously rolling with every punch Covid took to her wedding plans. I think this was the third(?) date she booked with us and I was overjoyed for them that this one stuck. Between the perfect weather and Voices of Liberty singing holiday songs during their wedding reception, it’s hard to imagine this wedding *not* taking place in December!

Because they’ve waited faaaaar too long for some wedding photos, I’m not gonna make them wait anymore. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Ollie had a cell phone, this would 10000% be his lock screen photo! <3

Oscar-level gorgeous!!

THIS. FIRST. LOOK.

They had the sweetest private vow exchange during their first look!

Top ten favorite wedding moment everrrrr right here! Voices of Liberty. <3

Jennifer and Raphael, you’re gonna be stuck with us forever! We love y’all to pieces. <3

Jennifer + Nick : Grand Floridian Wedding

I’ve had butterflies in my stomach at the start of every wedding day the past year.

Maybe it’s because until this fall, weddings have been fewer and farther in-between. Maybe it’s because by the time their dates get here, our couples have gone though so many fallback wedding plans that I feel like I owe them the best photos we can possibly make. Jennifer and Nick’s wedding was our first. wedding. back. at. Disney. A place where for the past decade, it was rare to go one month apart, but this was a 15 MONTH hiatus!!

I had a lump in my throat from the second we went through the guard gate, and it was nothing short of magical being reunited with the team at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons. The rules may be different this time around and I’m constantly trying to keep up with all the changes but booooooooy is it good to be home. <3

Thank you Jennifer and Nick- you were truly lovely and your wedding day was the first bit of normal I felt in such a long time!!

First look reaction goals right here!! <3

Ohhhh pandemic weddings. Never thought I’d photograph in a face mask and gloves, but when in Rome, right?!

I love a good wedding ceremony pinky promise! <3

Nick’s father couldn’t make it to the wedding, but I love this photo of them Face Timing him immediately after the ceremony.

Off to one of our favorite reception locations- The California Grill!

Jennifer and Nick- Thank y’all for everything!!!! :)
