Meredith + Chad : Cinderella Reception at Epcot Part II

by 1 Comment

Continued from Part ONE of Meredith and Chad‘s Wedding day!

After the ceremony was all wrapped up, it was off to the reception! Talk about a room with a view. <3 This was our first reception at the GE Lounge above Test Track!

So this is love, mmmmm, so this is love! <3

Special guest time!!!!

Who needs a “something blue” when you have this alien?! :)

After a quick run home to snuggle Ollie and sneak in a nap, we headed right back to the Yacht Club to walk these guys over to Epcot for their dessert party, and snuck in some photos along the way. :)

Waaaaay too many favorites, but this is up there. <3

I’m still dreaming about these carrot cake cookies at their dessert party. Luckily for us, there were leftovers and we each got to take one home so there was no sharing involved. Our marriage will live to survive another day! ;)

Maaaaaybe my favorite photo I’ve ever captured at a dessert party? Mayyyybe. <3

Meredith and Chad, where do we begin?! Thank you for making our job so easy, treating us like family, and bringing out my dormant southern accent for the day. We love you guys and look forward to the anniversary sessions to come! ;)

Kelly + Dillan : Vintage Epcot Inspired Wedding

by Leave a Comment

It all started with a duct tape cupcake.

During orientation, Kelly and Dillan were doing a getting-to-know-you activity where everyone was given rolls of duct tape and told to “bake” something. Kelly whipped up a cupcake, and I mean, if you meet someone who holds *this* much talent, well… Are you surprised Dillan ended up proposing?! ;)

SO many nods to Epcot in this wedding. Epcot has been Kelly’s favorite place since she was a kid and Illuminations holds a special place in her and Dillan’s love story.

 

So much love for these sisters. <3

I *loved* that they read private vows during their first look. <3

Disney floral incorporated Kelly’s handmade park map flowers into her flowers. <3

Windy Florida hazards!

Spring has sprung in Orlando (sorry everyone else!)

This look Kelly had when she reached the end of the aisle with her dad gave me alllllll the feels. <3

This guy, my favorite violinist! He can play any song you request, even if he’s never heard it, just by listening to a song from someone’s phone. This was him killing “Stand Out” from A Goofy Movie. Powerline would be proud!

Spaceship Earth caaaaaaake!

I *thought* this would be my favorite photo when Nate showed it to me on the back of his camera…

… But then he took this one. For the first couple minutes after the fireworks finished, Kelly and Dillan just held each other and soaked in the last few minutes of their wedding day. You guys- This is why we love this job. <3

Kelly and Dillan, thank you for having us!!! :)
