It all began with a marriage proposal on their 7 year anniversary! Katrina and Steven are from England, and Steven popped the question while on a trip to New York. :)
It was an absolute honor to photograph this wedding day along with some of our favorite friendors- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup and Joe and Kristen of Switzerworld! I’m so excited to see their finished film! :)
Kicking things off with my favorite! <3
This vintage ring box held Katrina’s grandmother’s ring. :)
I love a good custom ring box, especially when there are floating lanterns involved! <3
Real-life fairy godmother- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. <3
One of my all time favorite father/daughter first looks- Equal parts silly and sweet.
Katrina, you made a gorgeous bride! <3
This moment. <3
Just a little pre-reception gaming in the arcade next door! <3
Post-cake smash icing in your hair? I got your back! ;)
Last dance squeeze with Kristen! :)
Katrina and Steven, thank you for having us!! :)
These photos were on Vanessa’s bouquet to remember her grandmother. She loved Disney and we learned she was quite the spitfire! <3
Favorite shot of the day- Nate took this of Brian and Ryder’s shoes. <3
Vanessa and her girls got ready in a ballroom at the Yacht and Beach Club Convention Center. I looooooved this space, because there was plenty of room for her girls to spread out, but there was also this long hallway with gorgeous window light so we could pop out and shoot details, and even get Vanessa dressed!
Father daughter first look. <3
Not pictured : The utter confusion when Vanessa saw her wedding gift from Brian was a pair of Vans, lol! This was when she opened the box and saw they’d been hand painted with her favorite Disney things. <3
LOOK. AT. THIS. FAMILY. PHOTO. <3
Vanessa surprised her *Dad* with a ride in Cinderella’s Coach and his reaction was precious!
Don’t let their small size fool you. ;)
Off to the American Adventure Rotunda for their reception- My favorite space! <3
Vanessa’s choreographed dance to “My Girl” with her father gave me all the feels…
But so did Brian’s dance with his mom to “You’ll Be in my Heart.”
Vanessa, Brian, and Ryder- Thank you for having us along for the ride. And happy Mother’s Day, Vanessa!!! :)
Guess who dropped by for a quick hello – Hercules and his cousin, Prince! <3
We’ve seen a lot of embroidered parent handkerchiefs over the years, but these had little Mickey embroidered details at the bottom! :) Also, random fact : Alex’s mom is the gorgeous woman kissing her cheek in this photo, and I genuinely thought she was one of her sisters when I first walked in the room!!
Alex’s wedding gift from Aaron was this beautiful “A” charm from Tiffany’s. <3
I loved all of our portraits of Alex, but I think this one with Hercules is my faaaaavorite! (Sorry, Aaron!)
Bridesmaids seeing her for the first time!! Only Alex’s sisters knew what her dress looked like! :)
Loooooove this one from her father/daughter first look with her bridesmaids looking on. <3
We took them to “my” fountain at the Grand where they stood back to back reading letters to each other before turning around…
… And they had quite the audience! Thanks, Spring Break! ;)
Tooooo many favorites, but this one’s way up there!
If it *had* to rain on a wedding day, at least it was this one, which followed my 2 wishes : Not during portrait time, and with a bride who smiled through it!! :)
Off to Epcot for fireworks tiiiiiiime!
I love this one of Alex and Aaron just before being announced into their reception. Sneaky Nate! :)
Another favorite!!! Alex’s father daughter dance. <3
And the award for best bride faces ever… <3
Alex and Aaron, we love y’all!!!! Happy Honeymooooooon!! <3
