Shakera + Kerwin | Grand Floridian Wedding

by Leave a Comment

We thought this wedding would never come!! :)

After a hurricane caused them to reschedule their date, Shakera and Kerwin were finally able to have their dream wedding at Walt Disney World!

We had the privilege of working this one alongside our videographer bestie Kimberly of Heart Happy Films.

An Animal Kingdom welcome party (complete with a Kilimanjaro Safaris ride mix-in for their guests) was the most fun way to kick off a memorable wedding weekend!

Then it was on to the wedding morning at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. :)

Shakera’s beautiful daughter helped her get ready.

I can’t wait to see the new staircase carpet this fall!!

Shakera and Kerwin, thank you for letting us be a part of your daaaaay!!!

Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

by Leave a Comment

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

I have NEVER seen a bride move so quickly as when she opened her Coke and it almost spilled down her dress! Who decided brides should be married in white again?!?

The most Shantel-y photo to me!! <3

Each table had a subtle nod to a fairy tale. <3

Meredith + Blair : Orlando, Florida Wedding Photographer

by 1 Comment

Ollie was just about 6 weeks old when Meredith and Blair were married, which meant I was still on my adoption/maternity leave. I’m eternally grateful to Kim for stepping in and being the Jensey at these weddings so I could have extra snuggle and sleep time with our then squishy newborn! :)

Meredith and Blair found us via Instagram, woot woot! (You can follow me here, Nate here, and our Disney park adventures here!)

Monorails make every dress photo better! :)

I loved this sweet gift Meredith gave Blair on their wedding day, complete with autographs from the voices of Mickey and Minnie! :)

First look tiiiiiime! :)

Dole Whip socks! <3

The yellow monorail strikes again! :)

I think these next two are my faaaaavorites! <3

Meredith and Blair, thank you for taking such good care of my fella! <3
