Sara + Mike | Wedding Pavilion + California Grill Wedding

by Leave a Comment

As fate would have it, Sara and Mike joined eHarmony the same day in hopes to find love. On part of her profile, Sara wrote that her happy place is Disney and Universal. Mike’s very first message to her said he loved Disney too, and he asked which park was her favorite. Years later, here we are, sharing photos from their Disney wedding! :)

Special thanks to this wedding team!!

Mary + Stephen : California Grill Wedding Reception

by Leave a Comment

Mary and Stephen were together for 12 years before getting married!
Their meeting story involves a chance meeting, impromptu lunch, her asking how he spells his name (because she wanted to see if it was the same as the Taylor Swift song “Hey Stephen,” obviously!)
Now they’ve been through college years, first jobs, new jobs, natural disasters, loss, all of it. Their love of Disney brought them to having their wedding here, and I’m so excited to share their story with you!

Noelle + Phil : Royal Crest Room Wedding

by Leave a Comment

We went from March to September without a wedding. (Other than a sweet elopement Nate photographed on his own in Winter Park!)

I was *so* nervous to shoot again. Worried I’d be awkward and forget how to work a camera and the weather would be awful and it’d show how rusty we were. I wasn’t expecting it all to come back like riding a bike! :) Noelle and Phil’s wedding was our first “big” wedding back. These guys had to change plans a few times, but it all ended up working out great. They were married at the Royal Crest Room in St. Cloud. Their florists transformed the ballroom to look like a botanical garden, which is where their Plan A wedding was supposed to be. There have been some silver linings with this whole pandemic, and one of those was we weren’t a part of their Plan A, but we were more than thrilled to join them for Plan C!

That little “Let’s try this again!” <3

First look with Dad. <3

No shortage of good luck rain for these two- We were on pins and needles through the ceremony as the darkest clouds rolled in! But luckily the “good luck” held off until after they were married and Noelle was all up for a rainy golf cart ride for some newly married portraits! <3

 

Noelle and Phil, huge thanks and love to you and your families for having us!! Can’t think of a sweeter way to kick off this crazy wedding season. <3
