Lauren + Vinny : Sago Cay Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian

by Leave a Comment

Lauren and Vinny joined a special club of our couples: they got ready together! :)

Nate and I did this on *our* wedding day and honestly I can’t imagine it any other way. Spending the most important morning of my life without my best friend? No thank you!!

They had a fantastic view of Cinderella Castle as Vinny fastened the back of Lauren’s dress. Then it was off to the Grand where Lauren surprised her parents with a ride in Cinderella’s Coach! Their ceremony was in a spot we’ve never actually photographed a ceremony before- Sago Cay at the Grand Floridian. We ended things at our favorite, California Grill, where there were some special mice in attendance. :)

Lauren and Vinny, thank you so much for having us- it was such a special day! <3

Susan + Jim : Classic Grand Floridian Wedding

by Leave a Comment

They can’t remember meeting because they’ve known each other since childhood. <3

They didn’t start dating until much later. They’ve traveled all over the world, but Disney is like home to them. She was born into her love of Disney (her first trip being when she was just 6 weeks old!), his love of Disney came out of his love for her. She’s Pirates, he’s the People Mover.

Susan and Jim’s first email to us was full of little notes like that, so right away we felt like fast friends. I have so many photos from this day I’m excited to share!!

Friends, meet Susan and Jim. <3

 

Susan and Jim, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for letting us be a part!! <3

Kristyna + Robert : Disney Wedding

Today sure feels like a good day to share a Grand Floridian wedding. Don’t you agree?

Kristyna and Robert were high school sweethearts. Life led them down different paths, but they finally found their way back to each other. <3

You just can’t beat the view of a Castle while getting ready on your wedding day!

“Kristyna, I’ve wished for this day for 29 years.” Ohhhhh my heart. <3

First look magic :)

We loved being a part of this Disney wedding, especially knowing the special place it has in their hearts- Robert used to work as a chef at Narcoosee’s!

I meeeeeeeeeean… <3

Off to their reception where there were a couple more surprises in store! :)

 

“Kiss me once, then kiss me twiceThen kiss me once againIt’s been a long, long timeHaven’t felt like this, my dearSince I can’t remember whenIt’s been a long, long time

You’ll never know how many dreamsI’ve dreamed about youOr just how empty they all seemed without youSo kiss me once, then kiss me twiceThen kiss me once againIt’s been a long, long time.” –Kitty Kallen

Never get tired of these surprise cakes! <3

Kristyna and Robert, we wish you and your families the happiest of ever afters!! :)
