Gwen + Todd : Wedding Part I

September 26, 2011 by Jensey 5 Comments

Gwen and Todd’s wedding at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion was the first wedding of the year we saw heavily influenced by the Royal Wedding. Gwen’s hair was inspired by the one and only Pippa’s, and instead of making a grand exit in Cinderella’s carriage, Gwen chose the one fit for Britain’s princess. :) I suppose if marrying in Westminster Abbey isn’t in the cards, Disney’s Wedding Pavilion will do just fine. :)

Favorite shot of Disney’s Grand Floridian lobby, ever.

Real men can pull off pink like a champ.

Patricia LeJeune of LeJeune Hair and Makeup Artistry working her magic. Root brides, if you haven’t booked hair and makeup yet, contact Patricia! :)

Another Royal Wedding touch, perhaps- Her wedding gown had gorgeous sleeves. :)

I love how close Gwen is with her sisters. :)

Part two to come tomorrow! :)

Jacque + John : Wedding

Jacque and John’s engagement session in Franklin, Tennessee was full of falling leaves and autumn colors, so it was only perfect that their spring wedding was true to that season, as well- Bursting from the seam with pinks and greens. Even Jacque’s wedding gown was draped in flowers!

I think this is what being on cloud 9 looks like:

Bridesmaids in Kate Spade? Yes, please!

Jacque’s bridesmaids insisted… My favorite. :)

Jacque rolled up to the Disney’s Wedding Pavilion in style.

Gotta love Nate’s perfect timing!

My second favorite.

I think this means she’s happy with her dj. :)

Congrats, Jacque and John! Hope newlywed life is wonderful!

Louise + Spencer : Wedding

Louise and Spencer’s wedding day was a dream- We love intimate weddings, so when Louise told us only her parents, brother, and Spencer’s friend would be at the ceremony, I was in love. Louise got ready in her room at Disney’s Contemporary Resort which had quite the view of my favorite castle. :)

Oh, hello there! :)

When I first saw Louise’s custom hangar, I thought it was made with the incorrect wedding date; then I remembered in the UK, they switch the month and date. ;)

Louise went with our suggestion of using Patricia LeJeune as her hair and make-up artist, and we’re so happy she did. :)

Louise and Spencer did a quick first look before wedding time.

Louise and Spencer’s Sea Breeze Point ceremony was so charming and intimate.

Looooooooooooooooooved the cake. :)

While I felt awful for them that the weather was so humid and uncomfortable, we loved the full hour of portraits Louise arranged for us to have after the ceremony. :) My favorites!

I love our secret spot! Nothing about this feels like Disney property. ;)

My very, very close second favorite. Louise, this needs to be on canvas in your home!

We parted ways after our photo shoot and met up a few hours later at Disney’s Grand Floridian’s Sago Cay for their fireworks dessert party. I loved the lanterns they had hanging from the trees!

Louise and Spencer, thanks for being so wonderful to work with! Hope to see you sometime in your neck of the woods. :)
