Lauren + Rob : Grand Floridian Ceremony and Epcot Reception

September 9, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I LOVE the story behind Lauren and Rob’s proposal:

Before I even met Rob, my family’s favorite part of going to Disney World was walking from our favorite resort, Boardwalk, into Epcot and watching the fireworks show, Illuminations, from Italy. I remember standing on that bridge on a family trip in October 2016 thinking to myself that I couldn’t wait to one day share this spot with that special person. Little did I know, that in less than a year I’d be back there with that person and it immediately became a special spot for us too.

Then Disney announced that Illuminations was going away and devastated, we planned a trip in June 2019 so we could watch it a few more times before it went away. On the second night of our trip, we “bumped into” two friends of ours in Epcot. When we got to Italy, Rob said he was going to the bathroom (but really was getting the ring from my dad in the American pavilion) and came back and said I should do a boomerang of me twirling in my dress on the bridge. We did this a few times and then on the last time, I twirled around and he was down on one knee and proposed.

Then I was surprised by my parents, Rob’s sister and college roommate, and the two friends we bumped into who were in on it all along to be our photographer and videographer. We all had drinks in France, came back to Italy for the fireworks, and then walked to the Boardwalk for dinner. It was truly the best night ever!

Huge thanks to this amazing team for making it one we won’t forget!! <3

Lindsay + Cody : The Preserve at Canyon Lake Wedding

August 23, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They first met in Orlando, as interns on the Disney College Program!! The very first day they went to the parks together, a character asked us if they were together, and they burst out in nervous giggles. Four years later, they were planning their wedding day!

Lindsay and Cody’s relationship was definitely put through it- once their internship was finished, they spent 3(!!!) years in a long distance relationship while they finished their degrees. They still found ways to vacation together, mutually falling in love with each other’s families. Before long, they were engaged, finally living together, and planning a Disney wedding…. until a pandemic came along.

With Disney weddings in a holding pattern for a few months, Lindsay and Cody ended up having an elopement in South Carolina and then moving their wedding date, and eventually the big celebration, to San Antonio. We were honored they still wanted us to be a part of the day and were thrilled to still photograph their celebration!!

It really was one of those days I couldn’t picture any other way. Lindsay found a DREAM of a wedding venue, The Preserve at Canyon Lake, that I wish I could scoop up and move to Central Florida. The house was so spacious and had the most glorious natural light, all sitting on a lake and surrounded by mature trees… it was almost like the venue was built by a photographer! Lindsay and Cody had a Hercules-inspired event with sweet touches from their invitations to their wedding cake, but my favorite was the floral. Their designer at Blume Haus Floral completely transformed the reception space to feel like I was walking into the garden where Megara sang “I Won’t Say I’m in Love.”

Lindsay and Cody, we love you both and hope to see you again soon!!!

Thank you to this phenomenal team for such a beautiful day!!

Stephanie + MJ : Disney Wedding in Orlando, Florida

February 22, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They met fall of 2015 at a charity fundraiser for a mutual friend. MJ was photographing the event but couldn’t help but notice Stephanie and her piercing blue eyes, and as the story has it, Stephanie couldn’t help but watch MJ hard at work. <3

When they finally got to spend time together (they lived in different states!), Stephanie and MJ felt like they’d known each other forever. It was love almost instantly, and MJ proposed the following year during a game night at home. MJ worked her proposal into a trivia game- Stephanie was so focused on answering the fake question that MJ had to ask her twice before she realized MJ was proposing!!

Disney is a really big part of their family. Stephanie, her father, and her daughter Kendall used to go to Disney all the time with just the 3 of them. It was beyond special to MJ when she was first invited along, so there was no more special place to have their wedding than Walt Disney World. <3

Stephanie and MJ, we can’t thank you enough for letting us follow along- Enjoy your preview!!
