Jessie + Mason : Grand Floridian Wedding Pavilion and Boardwalk Inn Ballroom

May 4, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Hands down, one of the sweetest, most genuinely joyful weddings we’ve ever been a part of!

First off, Jessie and Mason got ready together which is the sweetest thing ever (though, I am a bit biased.) There’s something so romantic about your husband zipping you in your wedding dress and sharing in the morning excitement together. I realize most of our brides would not be up for it, and I don’t think it’s a good fit for everyone, but if you’re a couple like me and Nate, Lisa and Jeffrey, and these guys, well.. It can be the sweetest part of a wedding day.

Enjoy Jessie and Mason’s story! <3

This whole series makes my heart swell! <3

Off to the Wedding Pavilion to get m a r r i e d ! <3

Their processional was so sweet- The crowd stood and clapped for everyone who walked down the aisle. It was so exciting!! :)

Then off to the Boardwalk Ballrooms for a reception! :)

(I think) this was Jessie’s cousin who led the crowd in a dance montage- Everyone loved it! :)

Jessie and Mason, thank you so much for letting us be a part of it all! :)

Courtney + Justin : Grand Floridian Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Citricos Reception

April 29, 2015 by Jensey 7 Comments

Just like me, Courtney grew up vacationing to Walt Disney World every year despite not being raised in Florida. It’s only fitting that after a surprise proposal in front of Cinderella Castle, Courtney and Justin tied the knot at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian.

Courtney has the spunk and effervescence of a Disney princess come to life, and we were so honored to document her and Justin’s day! It’s hard to believe it’s nearly been three weeks since these two became Mr. and Mrs., so excuse me for forgoing my traditional sneak peek post and just full-on blogging their fairytale. Enjoy! <3

So. Many. Favorite. Faces. Between Courtney getting in her wedding gown (pictured below), and having her veil put in, my Instagram account has posts for daaaaaays. <3

Courtney, I love you so hard. <3

I finally got around to seeing the new Cinderella, and I can confirm that Courtney was waaaaay more excited for this carriage ride than the princess herself!

Every now and then in our Disney weddings, our brides and grooms will play a little joke on the best man: The officiant asks him for the rings, he realizes he doesn’t have them, and then Major Domo steps in to save the day. :)

The closest I’ll ever get to riding in this thing is Nate sneaking in for a photo! :)

One of my favorites by Nate. :)

THIS. WEDDING. CAKE. YOU. GUYS. Bar set!!!! (That’s their centerpiece on the left!)

Oh, Courtney and Justin, can we do it again, please?! Thank you for letting us be a part of it! <3

Keiko : Grand Floridian Family Portrait Session

April 24, 2015 by Jensey 4 Comments

Keiko, her mom, aunt, and grandma came to Disney for a girls trip, and I’m so glad they asked us to come photograph Miss Keiko! <3

Hands down, the cutest part of the session was Keiko initially freaking out when we put her on the grass. Her grandma said it’s been non-stop snow at home practically since she was born, so the grass was so foreign to her- She might as well be walking on the moon! Lucky for us, Keiko was good standing still on it after a while, and with the right mix of crazy aunt making her giggle and just the right amount of snacks to bribe her with, I think we came away with some downright adorable photos. <3

F A V O R I T E .

Keiko, thank you for being so awesome and we loved meeting you!!! :)
