Susan + Jim : Classic Grand Floridian Wedding

October 9, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They can’t remember meeting because they’ve known each other since childhood. <3

They didn’t start dating until much later. They’ve traveled all over the world, but Disney is like home to them. She was born into her love of Disney (her first trip being when she was just 6 weeks old!), his love of Disney came out of his love for her. She’s Pirates, he’s the People Mover.

Susan and Jim’s first email to us was full of little notes like that, so right away we felt like fast friends. I have so many photos from this day I’m excited to share!!

Friends, meet Susan and Jim. <3

 

Susan and Jim, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for letting us be a part!! <3

Lauren + Rob : Grand Floridian Ceremony and Epcot Reception

September 9, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I LOVE the story behind Lauren and Rob’s proposal:

Before I even met Rob, my family’s favorite part of going to Disney World was walking from our favorite resort, Boardwalk, into Epcot and watching the fireworks show, Illuminations, from Italy. I remember standing on that bridge on a family trip in October 2016 thinking to myself that I couldn’t wait to one day share this spot with that special person. Little did I know, that in less than a year I’d be back there with that person and it immediately became a special spot for us too.

Then Disney announced that Illuminations was going away and devastated, we planned a trip in June 2019 so we could watch it a few more times before it went away. On the second night of our trip, we “bumped into” two friends of ours in Epcot. When we got to Italy, Rob said he was going to the bathroom (but really was getting the ring from my dad in the American pavilion) and came back and said I should do a boomerang of me twirling in my dress on the bridge. We did this a few times and then on the last time, I twirled around and he was down on one knee and proposed.
Then I was surprised by my parents, Rob’s sister and college roommate, and the two friends we bumped into who were in on it all along to be our photographer and videographer. We all had drinks in France, came back to Italy for the fireworks, and then walked to the Boardwalk for dinner. It was truly the best night ever!
Huge thanks to this amazing team for making it one we won’t forget!! <3

Katie + Juan : Epcot Wedding Reception

November 7, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Katie and Juan met in veterinary school. Katie now works in general practice, and Juan works in emergency medicine, and we basically spent the day just telling stories to these guys about Huck and the Goldendoodle we hoped to bring home this year and like good vets, they eagerly grinned along! <3 They also happen to be big Disney lovers so it wasn’t a surprise when these guys decided that was where they wanted to get married, too!

Those Nate Root dress shots, y’all. <3

Easily one of my favorite first look reactions of the year!!

When the Mamas cry, I cry. EVERY time. <3

I love that Juan had a giddy reaction during the first look but emotional one when Katie walked down the aisle.

Off to Italy Isola for their reception!!

 

     

Katie and Juan, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for having us! :)
