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

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. :)

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!!! :)

April + Christopher : Lake Buena Vista Florida Wedding

November 28, 2014 by Jensey 2 Comments

Elopements are my favorite.

April and Christopher planned a sunny ceremony at the Polynesian with just the two of them, but Orlando weather had other plans. Unfortunately that wasn’t the only snag in their wedding day- Imagine how April felt when her hair and make-up artist neglected to show up (or even answer their phone!!) on her wedding morning?! Luckily Disney was on hand with “plan B’s” for both of these problems- Linda from the Grand Floridian Salon played Fairy Godmother and got April wedding-ready, and Citricos at the Grand Floridian provided the perfect, intimate backdrop for their ceremony. And we all know that rain is good luck on a wedding day, right? Right. :)

Enjoy this sweet, all black-and-white elopement. :)
