Carissa + Travis : Haunted Mansion Themed Disney Wedding

October 18, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Thank goodness for this Haunted Mansion-themed wedding and all the spoopy Halloween content it’s going to give my Instagram feed the next couple weeks!! <3

Carissa and Travis met at work as EMTs. In fact, until this summer, they were partners for 12 hour shifts on an ambulance. <3

Their friendship grew from a shared love of Disney and it ended up being their first vacation together! Travis even proposed to Carissa on The Haunted Mansion: specifically in the attic, in front of the bride. <3

This wedding was special for so many reasons:

– Haunted Mansion table linens (be still my Magic Kingdom-loving heart!)
– A bride in glasses!
– Our first Epcot dessert party with the new Epcot Forever fireworks!
– A bride in Steamboat Willie slippers!
– A fun meetup with another Disney bride and all of HER wedding vendors who are our pals, too!
– The knowledge that with our EMT couple, I could pass out at any moment and be perfectly taken care of!

I could go on and on, but without further ado, enjoy a peek into Travis and Carissa’s day! :)

Dear Santa- take note of these, please! :)

The inside of Travis’s ring had the coordinates to The Haunted Mansion, where he proposed to Carissa. <3

Operation make Dad cry- check!

 

This. First. Look. <3 I know I always state my love for these, but Travis fighting back tears (unsuccessfully btw) just gives me all the feels. :)

Fellow Disney nerds- how appropriate is that pattern on her parasol?! <3

Carissa made friends with another fellow Disney bride with the same wedding date and venue so we got to have a little meet up! :)

Which meant I got a selfie with my Disney wedding planner bests! <3

Every detail was so thought out. <3

One of my most most favorites. <3

Thank you for stopping by at the most perfect moment, Monorail Green! <3

Carissa and Travis, we can’t wait to share the rest in the coming weeks!! Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing day!! :)

Kimberly + Alexa : Doctor Who Inspired Disney Wedding

August 14, 2017 by Jensey 3 Comments

I’m going to make a confession: Nate and I have never seen Doctor Who.

But after editing photos from this wedding, that may have to change! Kimberly and Alexa met at a Doctor Who convention, so it was only appropriate that their day had constant nods to their favorite show. (I mean… They even had the TARDIS at their reception!)

This was another wedding Nate shot while I was on adoption leave, so while I was home snuggling a squishy newborn, he was photographing this wedding with the ever phenomenal Kim! :)

Swoooooooooooooooooooooooooooon! <3

One of my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorites! <3

Alexa took Kimberly’s last name of Flit, which is the name of Pocahontas’s hummingbird buddy in the movie! Of course they had to have these two stop by for photos, too! :)

Megan + Chance : Grand Floridian Escape Wedding in Orlando, Florida

October 27, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

It’s not often that we photograph escape weddings at Walt Disney World. These intimate weddings are always so special, and I’m amazed at how much Megan was able to fit in this four hour day!

I’m not gonna lie- I was really excited to shoot this wedding because of Chance’s name! My family dog was “Chance,” and so I had warm fuzzies every time I’d see their names coming up in my planner. :) Chance was everything I’d hoped he’d be, so full of love and life and complete adoration for his gorgeous wife. As soon as we stepped into Megan’s room and saw her details, wedding ensemble, and those bright red lips, I truly felt like I was photographing Daisy Buchanan herself. <3

Nate left me with Megan while she put on her final touches to go meet with Chance, and when editing their photos, I was tickled that they read their letters to each other at the *exact* same time! <3

For those of you on the fence about a first look because you’re worried he won’t still get chocked up at the alter… <3

Megan’s sweet dad broke his foot just before their wedding. Luckily, her two dapper brothers took his place to escort her down the aisle, and her father was still able to give her away. <3

The Whitehall Patio at the Grand Floridian Convention Center is my favorite reception spot for escape weddings (when the weather is nice out, anyway!) I couldn’t get enough of all this liiiiiiiight! :)
