Destiny + Sebastian : Orlando Walt Disney World Wedding Photographer

December 4, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Oh, these two. <3

Destiny and Sebastian were married right before Thanksgiving, which means I’m a bit delayed in getting these teaser photos out to them! Their wedding was all things beautiful and fairy tale, from their candlelit ceremony at Sea Breeze Point to their Epcot reception where two of Cinderella’s bluebirds were finishing up their wedding cake. (No, seriously! Keep scrolling down!)

One of my favorite photos of the day happened just after their first look, when we stepped outside their building for portraits. The lighting was stunning, and we happened to come across the Grand 1 yacht, where months prior, Sebastian proposed to Destiny. :)

When THIS is the view from your getting ready room, you know it’s gonna be a good day! :)

Destiny and Sebastian had already done their Magic Kingdom portrait session earlier in the week, so we didn’t do a first look. But this was the first time Destiny’s dad saw his daughter in her wedding dress. :)

Maddie + Liam : Grand Floridian Family Session

November 10, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

I always miscount these things, but I’m about 80% sure this was our 9th(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) session with these guys. I know their momma will correct me in the comments! ;)

I can’t even express the joy we get from watching these little toots grow up and we’re honored to be their family photographers. <3 Lindsey has always made it a priority to document their family, and it’s such an inspiration to me. Nate and I had our first session (of us!) this year since our wedding- Almost NINE years ago y’all! We were needing an updated portrait for our adoption packets and realized that other than our traditional selfies, we hadn’t had someone else take our photo!

Whenever we’re lucky enough to become parents, I’m taking Lindsey’s note. I know I’ll never feel thin enough or pretty enough to have a session done, but it’s not for me. It’s for Baby Root. It would break my heart if we didn’t have a session with me in it for 9 years!

Anyway, thank you for inspiring me, Lindsey. I know I get a lump in my throat every time I look through our oldest shoots with y’all, and I know Liam, Maddie, and future grandkids will be so thankful for this gift of memories!!

But can we talk about how this is maybe my favorite brother/sister portrait ever?! Maddie is a Gap model in the making and Liam is a real life Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes!! This is them to me 100%!!

It always takes Maddie a little bit to warm up. ;)

But before we know it, Lindsey is jumping into her toddler comedy hour and killing it with the kiddos!

Can we talk about how Liam was this tiny when we first took his photo?!?!?

On our first family session with these kids, Liam was ovvvvvver photos at the end of our shoot! He started crying and Nate told Lindsey and Eric to follow suit. One of my all-time-favorite family photos came out of it! Lindsey wanted a recent take on it! :)

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! :)
