Kami + AJ : Myers Point Barn and Bluff Wedding in Sewanee, TN

June 7, 2023 by Jensey 1 Comment

I’ll never be able to put into words what an honor it is photographing someone in “the industry.”

Anytime a makeup artist or planner mentions they hope we photograph their wedding someday, my gut response is always, “Are you sure?!?” This was the case with Kami, one of our Disney wedding planner friends. While we aren’t Disney cast members, the team at Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons most certainly makes us feel like one of their own!

When Kami first booked her wedding date, it was our farthest-out booking and felt like it would never get here. Being from Tennessee myself, I couldn’t wait to photograph this charming little town; I’ve only driven through and had no idea what views were in store. <3

We *loved* working with DeDe, the planner’s planner! There can be a lot of pressure being the planner for a wedding planner bride, but DeDe was grace under pressure when it came to making a rain backup call and the whole day was just *so* easy. Well… besides that brief time after the ceremony (as we were trying to rush to newlywed portraits), when our car got stuck in the mud! It took Nate, the videographer, father of the bride, and 3 incredibly kind women in their nicest dresses bringing gravel to put behind our tires to finally get un-stuck!

Always a story, I tell you! And now, here’s Kami and AJ’s!!

Kami’s father waiting to see her in her dress for the first time, and on the right, her reaction when he turned around.
Kami stitched this herself. <3
I was heartbroken about the rain, but lucky for us, we were able to take incredible portraits in these covered pathways around The University of the South. <3
Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who reads their vows first!
The rain paused *just* in time for our family portraits!
Head here for Part II!

Kym + Anthony : Orlando Paradise Cove Wedding

March 23, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was one of those “when you know, you know” relationships from the very beginning. Kym and Anthony were together for two years before reaching out for their Disney wedding, and ended up booking Paradise Cove for their dream Central Florida wedding! Paradise Cove is one of those hidden gems of an Orlando wedding venue, complete with an on-site house to get ready, sandy ceremony under huge, mossy trees, a lake view (complete with speedboat entrance for your groom!), and reception just a few steps over under beautiful market lights. <3

Kym’s mother and step mom pinned special momentos to the inside of her wedding dress from her grandmothers no longer with them.

This first look with her dad and step dad just kiiiiiills me!!

Their ceremony was officiated by their friend who set them up, and I loved how personal it made their wedding!

Marrieddddddddddd!!

BEST.

Our first time working with this gem of a man, JW, in so so long!! <3

Kym and Anthony, thank you for giving us the honor of capturing your day!!! <3

Nicole + Andrew : Snow White Themed December Wedding

December 21, 2021 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Happy Christmas Week to everyone celebrating!!! And happy holidays to anyone celebrating anything else!!

We Hanukkah-ed earlier this month and watched our son fall in love with Dreidel, and now I’m giddy about watching my four year old in Santa mode. He wishes for a blue drum set on every penny and star he can find. Stay tuned to see if Santa’s sleigh can fit one! :)

We’re all packed up to move this week and are trying to get photo previews to all of our couples before we take a two week break to catch up on life. Next up is Nicole and Andrew and their incredible Snow White themed wedding, complete with poisoned apple wedding favors. <3 There were so many little nods to the story, which was extra sweet learning that Andrew calls Nicole his “Snow,” and he proposed at the wishing well in Germany where Snow White does meet and greets- And the princess herself was there for the moment!

Nicole and Andrew, thank you for having us- we wish you nothing but the happiest of ever afters! :)

Thank you to our incredible team for making this one so magical! <3
