Haaaaaaaappy Mother’s Day, friends!!!
I (incredibly selfishly) love this day because I love seeing our brides and grooms sharing our photos of them with their parents on their wedding day! :) Today is *extra* special because it’s Ollie’s 2nd birthday, but I’ll share more about that later- Today is Vanessa and Brian’s wedding preview post. Which makes me immensely happy because Vanessa is an amazing Mama to her little, Ryder! <3
Thank you to our vendor team for making this such an amazing day! :)
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
