Paige and Ernie : Blush by Brandee Gaar Wedding at Bella Collina Part I

January 13, 2020 by Jensey 2 Comments

PAIGE AND ERNIE ARE MARRIED!!!

Fun fact: Paige and Ernie got engaged at Walt Disney World. Shortly after the proposal, Ernie was making small talk with a PhotoPass photographer and asked if they knew of any good Orlando wedding photographers. This person sent them to us and they ended up booking!! Ahh! I wish I knew their name so I could send a thank you note or give a big hug or high five! We are so thankful, so if you happen to be reading this, THANK YOU! <3

It felt like we waited forever for this day to arrive!! I’ve been stalking Ernie’s Instagram since Nate told me he has an account for his Disney park photography! (You should totally go follow him.) He and Paige were a match made in marching band history and their day was full of love, friends who adore them, excellent jumpers, and one particularly impressive triangle performance by Ernie’s best man at the reception! ;)

We had such a wonderful team of friends making this day happen! I love that when 2019 began, we’d never met Jess of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and now two weddings in, we can’t wait to work with her smiling face again in February! They were married at Bella Collina, my favorite Orlando wedding venue, Jim from FyerFly kept the dance floor packed, and this was the first wedding our pal Kim tried her hand at videography! Nate and I were smiling from the moment we picked up our cameras until we went to bed feeling like we’d made two great new friends. <3

Thank you to this team for making our part of the puzzle so easy! :)

December 16, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

We’ve done a looooot of Disney weddings in our day, but this was our first designed by our sweet friend Lisa Stoner! I was so excited to see how Lisa would transform a ballroom we’ve seen so many times, and just. wait. til. you. see. how. it. turned. out! <3

We started the day hanging out with tediously working beside our esteemed colleges Joe, Kristin, and Tanner of Switzerworld! Patricia LeJeune was on hand to make sure everyone looked and felt their best, and we knew we had Jim from Fyerfly to look forward to packing the dance floor. It’s a wonderful feeling when we get to be part of a team composed of the best of the best! :)
