Jena + Scott : Disney Cruise Line Wedding Part II

March 31, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

And now we’re on to part TWO!! Buckle up, buttercups! <3


Jena and Scott had such personal touches throughout their wedding day. Like this one: they share a wedding anniversary with Pixar’s anniversary (February 3rd), so they had a box of Pixar postcards in lieu of a guestbook for their guests to sign and leave in their little Carl and Ellie mailbox!

Another thing they did was hide these little Easter eggs around their reception for their guests to find and win prizes. :)

 
In all our years of photographing weddings, I can’t remember a time when every few minutes, a cast member got on the mic asking guests to return unused glasses to the bar. That’s right, Jena and Scott’s guests partied so hard that the bar ran out of glasses!!!⁠

Just a quick nap later and we were off to sunset portraits around the ship <3
 
“I’m king of the woooooooorld!”


Notice the horizontal palm fronds! ;)

Sooooooooooooooo windy but so, soooooooooo worth it!!!! <3



“This sh*t is cabanas – C A B A N A S!” – Scott. I will always think of you when we see this sign, Scott!

That “just married” feeling! <3

And the best way to end their wedding adventure- top deck viewing of the Superbowl!! <3

Scott and Jena, we can’t thank you enough for bringing us on board!! So excited for all the adventures to come!! <3

Charlotte + David : Romantic Disney Wedding

June 19, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

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!!

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!!! :)

Alyssa + Donny : Classic Disney Wedding at the Boardwalk

April 4, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

We had the immense honor of photographing part of Alyssa and Donny’s wedding day!!!

They arrived to meet us at the Boardwalk bright eyed and newly-wed from their Magic Kingdom ceremony, and we jumped into family and wedding party photos. It was during this set up that I realized someone was leaping behind their group to photo bomb! I went from frustrated to flabbergasted when I realized it was RAPUNZEL herself!!

BEST. DAY. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite. <3

Then it was right on up to The Attic for their brunch reception, complete with Mickey waffles and a serenade by the Dapper Dans. :)

 

Alyssa and Donny, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day!!!
