Megan + Chance : Grand Floridian Escape Wedding in Orlando, Florida

October 27, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

It’s not often that we photograph escape weddings at Walt Disney World. These intimate weddings are always so special, and I’m amazed at how much Megan was able to fit in this four hour day!

I’m not gonna lie- I was really excited to shoot this wedding because of Chance’s name! My family dog was “Chance,” and so I had warm fuzzies every time I’d see their names coming up in my planner. :) Chance was everything I’d hoped he’d be, so full of love and life and complete adoration for his gorgeous wife. As soon as we stepped into Megan’s room and saw her details, wedding ensemble, and those bright red lips, I truly felt like I was photographing Daisy Buchanan herself. <3

Nate left me with Megan while she put on her final touches to go meet with Chance, and when editing their photos, I was tickled that they read their letters to each other at the *exact* same time! <3

For those of you on the fence about a first look because you’re worried he won’t still get chocked up at the alter… <3

Megan’s sweet dad broke his foot just before their wedding. Luckily, her two dapper brothers took his place to escort her down the aisle, and her father was still able to give her away. <3

The Whitehall Patio at the Grand Floridian Convention Center is my favorite reception spot for escape weddings (when the weather is nice out, anyway!) I couldn’t get enough of all this liiiiiiiight! :)

Kirsten + Walter : Orlando Florida Wedding

October 9, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Kirsten and Walter went to high school together, but didn’t meet until one month before he moved to Chicago. Both knowing they’d found something special, they spent the first year of their relationship dating long distance, and after that year, Kirsten moved to Chicago, too. :) One year together in Chicago, and they realized they missed the sunshine state way too much and knew it was time to move back. Shortly after returning home, Walter proposed to Kirsten at Victoria and Albert’s, and then Kirsten got her dream wedding at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion! <3

Kirsten giggled her way through her wedding day, and her and Walter’s friends and family couldn’t have been kinder to us. <3

We are so excited to fiiiiiiinally share their wedding photos!! Enjoy, y’all! <3

Rachael + Matt : California Grill Wedding Reception and Epcot Dessert Party (Wedding Part II)

September 15, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Before you read this, make sure you’ve read Rachael and Matt’s Wedding Part One!!!

Epcot wedding days are early wedding days. Most of our brides pull all-nighters before their wedding, because they’re drunk on wedding magic, pixie dust, and adrenaline! Well, that and their hair and make up team is showing up at 3am. ;)

We tend to set our alarms for 4am to start our day, get back home to take a nap after lunch, download cards, feed Huck, and head out for the dessert party. It’s not uncommon for me to wistfully tell Nate how amazing it’d be to have a room at the resort we finished at so we could just walk to our room and crash! Well, imagine my surprise when we left Rachael’s wedding and Nate pulled the car into the Boardwalk to valet! He told me he made lunch reservations (which I was a little peeved about because I just wanted to go home and sleep!!), but we checked in to our room instead. <3

It was so fun to just walk into the back entrance of Epcot a little early for the dessert party, grab a drink at the Rose and Crown, and shoot some fireworks!

But back to the wedding. ;) Their reception took place at the California Grill, probably my favorite Disney reception spot! I can never get enough of all that natural light and that view of my favorite park.

Rachael and Matt love dinosaurs. Like, LOVE dinosaurs. Rachael painted a bunch of little gold dinos to sprinkle around their tables, and she and Matt entered their reception to the Jurassic Park theme song! :) Rachael’s favorite movie is The Good Dinosaur, and their cake was themed to Pixar’s “Lava” short with characters from The Good Dinosaur around it. Juuuuuuust wait for the photos, y’all. <3

SO much love for this wedding. ENJOY!!!!!!

Kicking things off with my favorite ring shot of the year so far, a la Nate’s camera magic! <3

Sing it with me now!

“I have a dream I hope will come true
That you’re here with me and I’m here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava!”
