Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding

December 8, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

There are weddings we love, weddings we really love, and then weddings that when editing, make me think, “Oh, this might be my favorite Disney wedding EVER.”

Nicole and Michael’s day was that wedding for me. Nicole has all the makings of your quintessential Disney princess. She’s kind, gorgeous, and though I can’t confirm it, I’m pretty sure a team of blue birds must dress her every morning. Michael was an absolute sweetheart, and it was so completely evident to everyone around how much he adores Nicole.

We had a dream team of vendors, from us (duh), to Tyler of Beyond Videography, and a magical team of fairy godmothers from Ciro’s Hair Pavilion in NJ who flew down to do hair and make-up! :)

They did an amazing job- Not once, but twice did I hear random little girls gasp and tell their mom “Princess Jasmine is getting married!”

When I pulled photos for their blog post, my heart couldn’t narrow down any less than 90 to share. So, this is a surprise two-parter. (Sorry, Nicole!!) But I’m just that in love with this sweet couple. ❤

Nicole and Michael, I can never thank you enough for letting us be a part of it all. We so hope these photos make you happy!!! :)

Nicole said that for years, she’s looked for an ornate copy of The Princess Bride to put on her bookshelf. Michael to the rescue with the perfect wedding morning surprise! :)

Nate posing these slippers like “real” shoes for this photo made my heart swoon!! :)

Is it weird to love a wedding dress so much you want to marry it? Good. :)

First look love. <3

And then my favorite wedding moment of 2016 happened: Nicole sat on the floor in her big, magic gown (did you see that bow?! Magic!!) in front of the Grand Floridian’s Christmas tree and she and Michael exchanged their wedding gifts.

Blue-box smile! <3

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

November 2, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

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.

This one Nate grabbed with their ceremony venue in the background? Seeeeeeriously postcard-worthy. <3

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part I

November 1, 2016 by Jensey 5 Comments

These two. <3

Ashley and Billy literally met while on stage. They were improving, and from what I understand from the situation, Billy walked on stage and asked Ashley out. She said no, and the rest of the skit was him convincing her to go out with him. I don’t know how the skit ended, but obviously things worked out quite nicely off stage. ;)

These guys are so full of life and love, and I loved all the little touches they did to make their wedding day their own. <3

Ashley and Billy, we love your wedding so much I’m breaking it into two parts. Check back tomorrow for the rest. ;)

Always thankful when a bridesmaid is willing to uncomfortably crouch behind a wedding dress and hold it on a banister so we can get a good shot! :)
