Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

September 17, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

It me! <3

I have NEVER seen a bride move so quickly as when she opened her Coke and it almost spilled down her dress! Who decided brides should be married in white again?!?

The most Shantel-y photo to me!! <3

Juuuust kidding- This one’s my favorite!! <3

Each table had a subtle nod to a fairy tale. <3

THIS BOUQUET TOSS SERIES!!

Jenna + Tyler Wedding Part II : Reception at Epcot’s China Pavilion

Continued from Jenna and Tyler’s Wedding Part I! :)

After their ceremony, it was on to portrait time around the Wedding Pavilion! :)

This liiiiiight! <3

5 minutes of downtime sure does look different now vs. 2 years ago! Super quick video call with Ollie to tell him goodnight! <3

Their reception was supposed to be outside in Italy but got moved indoors to China for bad weather. They absolutely took it in stride though, and I kinda love that we got some portrait time in a pavilion we’d never shot in before!

Jenna’s ponytail was my favorite!!! :)

Anytime you have a Disney attraction sign behind you during a wedding moment- I call that a win! :)

Jenna and Tyler’s wedding day was also his birthday! Jenna surprised him with a special cake and everything! :)

Teamwork makes the dream work! ;)

Jenna and Tyler, we loved loved working with y’all. Thank you for the honor!!!!

Alex + Aaron : Disney’s Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Epcot Reception

March 24, 2019 by Nathan Leave a Comment

I. Loved. This. Day. <3

Alex and Aaron met on a beach during a Tim McGraw concert at the Tortuga Music Festival. Alex is one of three sisters, Aaron is one of three brothers! But the greatest thing about them is their pup, Hercules! You may have seen the post about their engagement session last week, and wedding day Herc did. not. disappoint. They live in Orlando for once (most of our Disney couples live out of state!), so this means we get to make them our local friends now. <3

One of my favorite details from their wedding morning were these cufflinks Alex had made for Aaron- So so sweet!

Guess who dropped by for a quick hello – Hercules and his cousin, Prince! <3 We’ve seen a lot of embroidered parent handkerchiefs over the years, but these had little Mickey embroidered details at the bottom! :) Also, random fact : Alex’s mom is the gorgeous woman kissing her cheek in this photo, and I genuinely thought she was one of her sisters when I first walked in the room!! Alex’s wedding gift from Aaron was this beautiful “A” charm from Tiffany’s. <3 I loved all of our portraits of Alex, but I think this one with Hercules is my faaaaavorite! (Sorry, Aaron!) Bridesmaids seeing her for the first time!! Only Alex’s sisters knew what her dress looked like! :) Loooooove this one from her father/daughter first look with her bridesmaids looking on. <3 We took them to “my” fountain at the Grand where they stood back to back reading letters to each other before turning around… … And they had quite the audience! Thanks, Spring Break! ;) Tooooo many favorites, but this one’s way up there! If it *had* to rain on a wedding day, at least it was this one, which followed my 2 wishes : Not during portrait time, and with a bride who smiled through it!! :) Off to Epcot for fireworks tiiiiiiime! I love this one of Alex and Aaron just before being announced into their reception. Sneaky Nate! :) Another favorite!!! Alex’s father daughter dance. <3 And the award for best bride faces ever… <3 Alex and Aaron, we love y’all!!!! Happy Honeymooooooon!! <3
