Andrea + Mickey : Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Wedding

February 3, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

FAVORITE. ORLANDO. WEDDING. EVER.

A little over a year ago, Andrea and Mickey were the first-ever wedding at the incomparable Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts! It was a little intimidating being the first to photograph the newest Orlando landmark, but oh how I’m so stinkin’ proud of these photos!! Andrea and Mickey made our job so incredibly easy, and their glamorous wedding is one I’ll never forget!

I have to also give a shout out to the amazing vendors who made this day such a dream, our pals Jeffrey Stoner of Stoner Video, Patricia of LeJeune Artistry, and of course Tracy of Eventfully Yours at the helm! And we can’t forget Greenery Productions whose touch elevated every aspect of the day to the next level!

Their romantic ceremony took place at St. James Cathedral in downtown Orlando.

The silhouette on that dreeeeeeeess! <3

One of my favorite photos Nate took all year; so timeless! <3

Ready to swoon a little bit more? Mickey made his bride’s bouquet! These guys have a strong love for bees and subtly incorporated them in Andrea’s bouquet, their wedding cake, and of course, their wedding hashtag #meanttobeegriers. :)

Andrea and I are kindred Disney spirits. She’s obsessed with all things Minnie Mouse, and I love that she found her Mickey! :)

F A V O R I T E!!!! Dr. Phillips Center, you are an absolute dream to photograph!

Andrea and Mickey’s guests were treated with a once-in-a-lifetime dinner in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater.

Yes. Their guests would grab an empty wine glass and a living statue would fill it for them!

From there the wedding reception moved to the DeVos Family Room for some serious dancing!

Andrea and Mickey’s wedding took place just before Christmas, so of course this jaw-dropping dance floor centerpiece had mistletoe hanging from it. Their guests loved sneaking to the center of the dance floor to steal a kiss! :)

Andrea and her bridesmaids serenaded Mickey with a choreographed dance to “Mickey,” complete with pom poms. You know the one- “Oh Mickey, you’re so fine, you’re so fine you blow my mind, Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!”

If the DeVos Family Room couldn’t be more amazing, the windowed wall with the stunning view of downtown Orlando completely OPENS! I think our ears are still ringing from their guests’ reactions! :)

Andrea was surprised with a mariachi band just before the night ended, because, why not? ;)

And of course Mickey arranged for it to snow in downtown Orlando! Most magical wedding ever, I tell you. Andrea and Mickey, thank you for letting us be a part of it all! :)

Soooooooooooooooo excited to share some teasers from Erica and Shawn’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando with y’all! :)

My all-time favorite ballroom reception- I certainly hope our photos did it justice!!

Jessy + Bligh : Winter Park Racquet Club Wedding

March 19, 2014 by Jensey 5 Comments

We’re often asked if we get bored of shooting so many weddings. I mean aren’t they all, like, the same?

That statement could not be more false. That’s like saying to a parent, “Why have three kids and not just one? Aren’t they all the same?” Ok, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch, but you know what I mean! We could shoot the same venues back to back and they’ll be completely different. The people, the weather, the decor, the vendors- There are so many ingredients that go into a wedding and thankfully, I’ve never gotten to a place where I feel like they run together.

I love when weddings like Jessy and Bligh’s come around. So completely crazy and wonderful and out of the box that to say we were kept on our toes is an understatement. Hey, let’s go out on the balcony for some bridesmaid robe photos! turned into Hey, let’s do a flashing photo! We didn’t just pose them around a yellow float plane for photos, Bligh (a pilot) made his entrance into the ceremony by flying in that float plane. Wish lanterns being launched by a crowd who truly enjoyed the open bar at the reception turned into OK so do we call 911 now because a wish lantern is stuck in that tree and has been for a good 30 seconds or do we wait for the flames to- Oh, thank God, there it goes!

This wedding was fun, hilarious, and filled with wonderful, wonderful people (I’m a bit biased, but best of were our mutual friends, Jeffrey and Lisa!)

Jessy and Bligh’s wedding day began at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Orlando.

Four page love letter from the groom? Swoooooooooooooooooooon! <3

Then it was off to the Winter Park Racquet Club! <3 Bligh proposed to Jessy at Winter Park’s Kraft Azalea Garden, which sits on the same lake as the Winter Park Racquet Club!

Jessy, you were stunning.

Nate’s favorite!

Oh, just the groom landing for his entrance. No big deal. Whatev’.

For years, Jessy was Lisa’s right hand girl at her wedding planning and coordinating company, E-Events. Jessy is truly like a third daughter to Lisa, and I tear up seeing these photos of her holding back tears at the ceremony!
