Erin + Steve + Brennan + Dylan : Grand Floridian Family Session

January 16, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Well, it’s time to kick our 2017 family sessions off with some Root Lifers! <3

We photographed Erin and Steve’s Disney wedding, and three years ago, we got to meet their sweet boys. Wellllllll, we had the pleasure of photographing them again two months ago, and these boys are grown and silly and perfect!!

Nate and I met this family at the Grand Floridian for some updated family portraits and play time. :) These boys took to Nate like, well, best friends? Brennan was a little upset when he learned at the end of our session that Nate wouldn’t, in fact, be going back to their hotel room to play Legos! Our shoot ended with a teary Brennan telling Nate, “I’m going to miss you” and my heart grew a million sizes and then abruptly shattered!

Can we talk about how time is going waaaaaaay too quickly lately? October 2013 :

November 2016! <3

Soooooooooooo many favorites. <3

Next photo by Dylan :

Dylan saaaaaandwich! <3

Brennan was such a trooper even though he was sick on their trip. :(

Brennan’s photo request! <3

Bye, friends!! Can’t wait til next time. <3

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding

December 8, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

There are weddings we love, weddings we really love, and then weddings that when editing, make me think, “Oh, this might be my favorite Disney wedding EVER.”

Nicole and Michael’s day was that wedding for me. Nicole has all the makings of your quintessential Disney princess. She’s kind, gorgeous, and though I can’t confirm it, I’m pretty sure a team of blue birds must dress her every morning. Michael was an absolute sweetheart, and it was so completely evident to everyone around how much he adores Nicole.

We had a dream team of vendors, from us (duh), to Tyler of Beyond Videography, and a magical team of fairy godmothers from Ciro’s Hair Pavilion in NJ who flew down to do hair and make-up! :)

They did an amazing job- Not once, but twice did I hear random little girls gasp and tell their mom “Princess Jasmine is getting married!”

When I pulled photos for their blog post, my heart couldn’t narrow down any less than 90 to share. So, this is a surprise two-parter. (Sorry, Nicole!!) But I’m just that in love with this sweet couple. ❤

Nicole and Michael, I can never thank you enough for letting us be a part of it all. We so hope these photos make you happy!!! :)

Nicole said that for years, she’s looked for an ornate copy of The Princess Bride to put on her bookshelf. Michael to the rescue with the perfect wedding morning surprise! :)

Nate posing these slippers like “real” shoes for this photo made my heart swoon!! :)

Is it weird to love a wedding dress so much you want to marry it? Good. :)

First look love. <3

And then my favorite wedding moment of 2016 happened: Nicole sat on the floor in her big, magic gown (did you see that bow?! Magic!!) in front of the Grand Floridian’s Christmas tree and she and Michael exchanged their wedding gifts.

Blue-box smile! <3
