Kait + Brandon : Boardwalk Inn Wedding in Orlando, Florida

January 13, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

We never know how our couples are going to find us.

Nate and I are lucky to have a business based on word-of-mouth referrals. These often come from our couples singing our praises on wedding websites, message boards, or sending us to their friends and family members. We once booked a shoot because my mom called the Chase Credit card line, and in making small talk with the nice woman on the phone, found out she was having a Disney wedding and shared our information.

We met this lovely bride Kaitlyne because she was the Buy Buy Baby employee who helped us register for our baby shower! :) For nearly 3 hours, we followed Kait around the store while she showed us what we need and what we don’t need, answering our million questions about bottles, cloth diapers, and snot suckers as we went along. We really clicked and found out she was not only engaged, but planning a Disney wedding! Kait’s wedding was only 6 months away, but we gave her our card and let her know we’d love to answer any questions or help out with her planning in any way.

As soon as we got to the car, I told Nate I know she probably has a photographer already, but how fun would that blog post be if we shot her wedding?! <3

SO here we are, 6 months later. This is Kait, who helped us register for the most wonderful treasures for who-knows-when-but-hopefully-someday-baby-Root, and her HUSBAND Brandon, and we’re so tickled that they invited us to be their wedding photographers! :)

Kait and Brandon first met at work when she was his boss. Annoyance led to playful sparring, then flirting, and before they knew it, they were a couple. These guys are so much fun to be around and my cheeks were sore from smiling!

Our day started meeting Brandon at the Boardwalk Inn while we waited for Kait to get there for their first look. :)

FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE. The second before Brandon turned around to see his bride! <3

Those red shooooooes! <3

Kait truly looked like a princess, and I was obsessed with the beading on her dress! <3

These guys <3

And then we were treated to the quickest, most epic of Disney sunsets!

Disney wedding planner Amy! <3

I love that Kait met Brandon at the end of the aisle and they walked down together. <3

Reverend Tim Herring led the guests to a ring warming ceremony. Each guest takes their wedding bands and says a silent prayer over them, or just some positive thoughts. I love a good ring warming ceremony but always cringe a little when they’re on the Boardwalk. Luckily no wedding bands were dropped during this special moment! <3

This little one’s face kills me! :)

Their wedding reception was supposed to be outside at Italy Isola, but got moved inside for rain. Luckily it held out during Illuminations!

LOVE this shot Nate got. <3

Too. Many. Favorites. :)

Kait and Brandon, we were so honored to be a part of it all!! Thank you for having us!! :)

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding Part II

December 9, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Make sure you saw part one of this gorgeous day first! :)

I’m pretty sure if you look up “fairytale,” this should be the photo that pops up!

Who knew that becoming a wedding photographer would lead to so much time spent editing out droppings from Cinderella’s ponies? ;)

So. Many. Favorites. <3

Fiiiiiiiiiinally reunited with my favorite Orlando ballroom! :)

Maybe my favorite photo I’ve taken all year. <3

Nate’s version of the same moment!

Nicole brought a photo of her with Mickey and Minnie when she was a little girl! <3

Serious bow envy over here…

Charles Miles kept the dance floor packed and even threw in a little N’Sync Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! :)

One of my favorite things about this job is going through Nate’s photos and seeing how *he* saw the day. This was one of my favorite photos from the night!! :)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd if I couldn’t love them more, their last dance was to Mariah’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Life. MADE. <3

YOU GUYS. We had such a blast photographing your wedding- Thank you for the incredible honor. Now let’s be friends forever! ;)

Destiny + Sebastian : Orlando Walt Disney World Wedding Photographer

December 4, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Oh, these two. <3

Destiny and Sebastian were married right before Thanksgiving, which means I’m a bit delayed in getting these teaser photos out to them! Their wedding was all things beautiful and fairy tale, from their candlelit ceremony at Sea Breeze Point to their Epcot reception where two of Cinderella’s bluebirds were finishing up their wedding cake. (No, seriously! Keep scrolling down!)

One of my favorite photos of the day happened just after their first look, when we stepped outside their building for portraits. The lighting was stunning, and we happened to come across the Grand 1 yacht, where months prior, Sebastian proposed to Destiny. :)

Destiny and Sebastian had already done their Magic Kingdom portrait session earlier in the week, so we didn’t do a first look. But this was the first time Destiny’s dad saw his daughter in her wedding dress. :)
