Shelby and Michael met almost a decade ago at a college party. Shelby was told there would be a puppy… even though she ended up *not* meeting the puppy that night, she *did* meet her future husband, so we’re still gonna call that a win, right?

Since that first night, they happily spend several trips a year at Disney. When it came time to plan the wedding, there was no other option- Walt Disney World or bust! <3

GM Lounge FTW. How do we top this?! Obsessed with how light and airy this space felt with Shelby’s gold and white touches.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Shelby and Michael!! It was such a beautiful day!!

This wedding was a loooooong time coming: Kari and Chris met in high school! Engaged years later, their wedding plans were put through the ringer with Covid. Their day ended up being just perfect; it was even one of those very rare not-too-hot-and-not-too-cold Orlando winter days!

Thank you to our wonderful vendor team for making a happy day! :)

We started the day in Kari’s suite at Coranado’s Gran Destino Tower, and let. me. tell. you- favorite getting ready room everrrr!! The space, the natural light flooding in, all the textures and details; it was absolutely stunning. And getting ready at the Gran Destino Tower means you get THIS wall for your wedding dress photos!

I’m always hoping for unique details to photograph our couples’ rings with and I may have been a liiiiiittle excited to play with this Figment popcorn bucket! <3

There are a million reasons to hire Stacie Otto for your hair and makeup, but one of the biggest is no one can lace a wedding dress better or more efficiently than her! <3

First look feels on the lawn. <3

If you’ve never seen a Disney wedding with “Major Domo,” here’s how it normally goes: your officiant asks the best man for the wedding rings, and he panics. Like…. Panics. The officiant gives him a hard time in front of all of your guests, then loudly calls, “does ANYONE here have the rings?” and bam! Major Domo graces his way down the aisle to deliver them. :)
