It’s Charlotte and David’s blog day!!! :)
You might remember Charlotte and David’s engagement session if you ever mistook one of our brides for Zooey Deschanel! :) I was dying to photograph this day ever since Nate took their engagement photos around downtown Winter Garden. :)
Charlotte and David traveled all the way from the UK to get married! When 16 year old Charlotte took a family vacation to Walt Disney World, she caught a glimpse of the Wedding Pavilion from the ferry and knew she’d be back to get married there some day. Well, spoiler alert: Her dream came true and it was such a lovely day, and not just because I got to listen to their delightful accents for 10 hours! :)
There is no way to put into words how much we loved these two, so I’ll just leave you with Charlotte’s wedding vows, which made me fall in love with their love!
“You’ve literally made my dreams come true today because you love me- possibly too much- and knew it meant the world to me. I love your kindness, your handsome face, your loyalty, and your patience. I love how much you love me, the way you look at me, and that you put up with my constant singing. I love your bad jokes, your dodgy dancing, and of course your bum! I am so thankful for all the memories we have shared, our funny first date because your brothers canceled on you, the sweet way you asked me to be your girlfriend, and your face when you saw how much I could eat for breakfast. I promise to keep reminding you your kabobs on the way home are unhealthy and to wear lots of sun cream because I want to live long happy lives by each other’s side. You are and will always be my greatest adventure and I’m so excited for all we’ve got before us.”
Huge thanks to our wonderful vendor friends for making this day so magical, but the most thanks goes to this sweet couple. Charlotte and David, we can’t wait to catch up again on your future trips back here!!
Charlotte had two amazing dresses- The vintage number above and then this classic ballgown below (complete with majestic bow in the back!)
Look at the little hidden Mickey on David’s wedding band!!! <3
This one of Charlotte’s Mum watching her daughter get dressed gives me alllllll the feels. <3
David was the most, most dapper! <3
Charlotte and her father had their first look in front of my Mary Poppins fountain! (I’m just loaning it to the Grand for the time being, but expect to have it back in my front yard soon.)
“Wingardium leviosa!”
One of my many favorites! Looooooved Charlotte’s sweet parents. <3
Hellloooooo, Zooey Deschanel!
Nate and I wanted to adopt all three- British accents and all! <3 <3 <3
After guests enjoyed dinner and toasts on the patio, they headed to the Whitehall Room for dancing and magic lanterns! :)
Look at this wedding cake topper!!!
Their first dance began like any other…
… And morphed into one of the most impressive choreographed dances to a montage of Disney favorites! :)
I don’t have a clue what’s going on here, but I’m obsessed and felt the need to share. More of whatever this is, please! :)
Charlotte and David, we can’t thank you enough for having us. Come back and visit soon!!! :)
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
