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. :)

When THIS is the view from your getting ready room, you know it’s gonna be a good day! :)

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. :)

Those Epcot receptions <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I told you I wasn’t lying about the bluebirds!! :)

The end!!! Destiny and Sebastian, we hope y’all love the photos as much as we loved making them!! :)

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

Continued from Ashley and Billy’s wedding part ONE! <3

It’s a two-parter kinda wedding day, because 70+ photos are just too much for one post!

CEREMONY TIME! I love, love, love, love, LOVE that these guys walked down the aisle TOGETHER. This is what we would do. <3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd who needs a candle ceremony or sand ceremony when you can have a peanut butter and jelly ceremony?! These guys made their sandwich while their officiant read out the reasons linking Billy to peanut butter and Ashley to jelly. <3

Plus, what bride wouldn’t go for a mid-ceremony snack?! <3

We were all confused when during group photos, the entire cast of Beaches and Cream came bearing sodas for the bride and groom!

Turns out Ashley and Billy request the same server, the sweet woman to the right of Billy, every time they eat at the restaurant. They went in for a meal before the wedding, and their server joked that she’ll be there! Sure enough, she came bearing friends, hugs, and their favorite- Vanilla Coke! <3

This was our first time ducking into the new AbracadaBar for photos. I can’t wait to go back for a drink!

I feel like we haven’t shot a wedding in the Atlantic Dance Hall in ages. What a perfect venue for these thespians! :)

During their first dance, they had scrolling photos from their childhood to now. <3

I love that they *both* had mom dances. <3

I haven’t even mentioned their love of penguins yet! Billy proposed in a penguin enclosure at the zoo (If I’m remembering right, there was a musical number involved…), and during the ceremony, their friend read aloud from Sandra Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin.
