Beth + Michael : Waldorf Astoria Orlando Wedding by Lisa Stoner Events

March 21, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

It was because of mutual friends and runDisney that Beth and Michael’s worlds collided and the rest was history!

Beth and Michael contacted a few months out from their wedding to see if we were available and we’d already closed our calendar for the year. But we heard their story and just couldn’t say no- We ended up photographing it with the understanding that we couldn’t edit their photos until 2019. I’m so happy it worked out because I look at this first photo and just can’t imagine not being at this wedding! :)

This was our first wedding at Orlando’s Waldorf Astoria Resort, and we’d love to thank this dream of a vendor team, especially our Lisa Poppins, for making it all possible!

Yes, Michael stood in a sand box for part of the ceremony! I *believe* he wanted to get married at the beach and this was their compromise, lol. :)

Beth and Michael, thank you so much for having us!!!! :)

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

Love this one with her amazing planner (and coincidentally our best buddy!) Lisa Stoner of E-Events doin’ her thing. :)

That huppah!!! <3

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

Clint Wiley and the rest of his band, None Other, kept the guests (and every vendor within ear shot!) dancing all night! Erica and Shawn, I can’t wait to share the rest in the coming weeks!! :)

Emily + Daniel : Tarpon Lodge Wedding Part II in Pine Island Florida

July 3, 2013 by Jensey 5 Comments

Continued from Emily and Daniels’ Wedding Part I!

Kicking things off today with my faaaaaaaaaaaavorite. :)

See that alter? I could have told you it was Lee Forrest’s magic just by looking at it. (Seriously- If you’re in Central Florida and in need of a floral wizard for your wedding, do yourself a favor and meet with Lee! The only thing we love more than Lee’s work is Lee himself!)

For those of you worried that seeing your husband before the ceremony will take some of the emotion away when you walk down the aisle, Emily was a beautiful tearful mess during the walk with her daddy. :)

The ceremony was absolutely perfect, even though their officiant forgot to tell their guests to sit down! :x

Teary brides are my favorite!! :)

Can I have another favorite? Good. :)

My favorite best man speeches are always that rare but wonderful occasion when the groom’s father doubles as best man. :)

Nope. That’s not my sister. Nooooope. ;)

Because nothing makes us happier on wedding days than some past couple love! :) Pretty sure Keith was giving Lauren a tough time for her popped collar bridesmaid dress. :)

Emily’s Dad’s tear running down her back? In the almost 200 weddings we’ve gotten to be a part of, this is my favorite father/daughter photo, hands down. :)

Gotta give some love to Sandy, Emily’s sweet momma! If you’re in Florida and Puff n’ Stuff catered your event, there’s a good chance you worked with this gorgeous lady.

Emily and Daniel, we can’t thank you enough for letting us be a part of your day. :)
