Gina + Patrick | Disney Wedding Pavilion Wedding and Boardwalk Ballroom Reception

July 21, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was never an “if” Gina and Patrick would have a Disney wedding, but “when.” Patrick is a cast member, as was Gina’s late father. They are frequent park guests and even got engaged at the Contemporary during the Magic Kingdom fireworks!

They originally planned for a ceremony at Port Orleans Riverside, but the weather had other plans! I’ve never seen a bride more thrilled to get the rain call from her wedding planner- it turns out, she got her dream wedding venue as a backup- Disney’s Wedding Pavilion. <3

I was so happy the rain held out so we could do this sweet first look!

Favorites <3 The bouquet wrap and monorail match!!

On to their reception at the Boardwalk Inn Convention Center!

Oh hello, other Root Lifers, Jennifer and Raphael!

Gina and Patrick, it was an honor!! Thank you for having us!! <3

Jessica + Erik : Epcot GM Lounge Wedding Reception

The more Nate gets booked out for solo weddings, the more I wonder what the heck does he need ME for?! I feel like he truly does the work of two photographers on days like this one!! I get so excited to see what he comes away with on days that I’m home with Ollie, and Jessica and Erik’s day just blew me away. <3

This first photo alone… I meeeeeeean!!! <3

The night before their wedding, Jessica and Erik had a dessert party to welcome their guests to their Disney wedding weekend!!

We definitely have our favorite pavilions when it comes to dessert parties, and UK Lochside has been top of the list since our very first Disney wedding. You just can’t beat this view. :)

Jessica’s first look with her dad. <3

Gosh this view and this sunset!!!

Stepped out from their ceremony and the Magic Kingdom fireworks were going off!!

We’ve had a ton of receptions at the GM Lounge in Epcot and I’m not at alllllll mad about it!!

Jessica and Eric, thank you for having Nate photograph your daaaay!!! <3

Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

March 10, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.
