Brier + Brad : Orlando, Florida Wedding

September 23, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

The weather this month has been pretty nuts. Every wedding day has had at least a shower or two and our sessions are constantly being rescheduled.

Brier and Brad’s wedding was no different. It was raining on our way in, but luckily stopped in time for their pre-ceremony portraits! By the time their dessert party came though, it was poooooouring. Like, Illuminations being delayed ~40 minutes bad! But lucky for us, these guys were just happy to be hanging out with their family and friends. No one complained that they were standing around in ponchos for an unknown amount of time. And Illuminations still happened. <3

This wedding came at a perfect time for us, because we were surrounded by people encouraging us about our adoption! Brier’s parents actually adopted her brothers from different countries. While we were waiting for Illuminations, the sweetest guest came up, gave me a huge hug, and told me about being adopted herself! This whole adoption has been wonderful, but we definitely have days where we’re feeling a little more scared and lonely. This was one of those days, and my faith cup just filled right back up. :)

If you’re not having this much fun on your wedding day, you’re doing it wrong! ;)

Beautiful Brier. <3

I love when Nate makes friends through his camera before wedding ceremonies!! :)

Brier’s parents have always been big Disney fans. So much so that they named their only daughter after Briar Rose! I love love love love love that she walked down the aisle to “Once Upon a Dream” from Sleeping Beauty! <3

Brier and Brad’s kids napped in their strollers during the ceremony. I love that they were greeted by the boys as soon as they did their recessional! :)

Favorite. I mean, really. <3

That hair!!!! <3

Yep. Still giddy around this guy! <3

Brier and Brad, thank you for everything. <3

Sheelagh + Shayne : Lake Buena Vista Orlando, Florida Wedding

April 13, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since their wedding (like, a year!) and I’ve still neglected to blog these two! Unacceptable. Friends, meet Sheelagh and Shayne, quite possibly the sweetest couple we’ve ever met. When we arrived on their wedding day, they had gifts for us from Canada, and even brought the coolest jacket for Huck! We were living in Nashville and he got some great use out of it!

From their first inquiry, Shayne told us, “We laugh louder, smile more, and love life during our trips to Walt Disney World, and we want to share that experience with our friends and families.” I love that so much and love these two more than I can say. :)

This is Claire, the coolest kid I’ve ever met. We had full on conversations over which Disney princess is best, and her concerns with kids watching all these animated movies where the parents die (Frozen had recently come out.) My favorite Claire story was one Sheelagh told us- She and Shayne took her to meet Belle, whom she had also met the night prior. Claire took one look at Belle and asked if she got enough sleep, because she looked so tired compared to their last meeting. That poor face character, but what a story! ;)

Oh my goodness, I love these two. <3

From their Sea Breeze Point ceremony, it was off to a Boardwalk Inn ballroom reception. <3

And then, Sheelagh and Shayne surprised their guests with an Epcot dessert party! They took my favorite wedding day transportation- A Friendship Boat! <3

Sheelagh and Shayne, we love y’all and can’t wait to see you again later this month!!!!! <3

Tiffiny + Mitch : Orlando, Florida Wedding Preview

December 16, 2014 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can’t believe we just photographed our last Disney wedding of the year! :(

Tiffiny, you’re gorgeous.

These guys had so many personal touches to their day, my favorite being an “ear exchange” after their ring exchange. :)

Rain caused these guys to move their ceremony to a backup location, but with a backup location like this, how can you complain?!

This turtle kindly waited until Nate had his camera settings juuuust right to make an appearance. :)

One of my favorites of the whole year- What a way to wrap up 2014!! Tiffiny and Mitch, have a great rest of your honeymoon and we’ll be in touch with the rest next year! <3
