It all began with a marriage proposal on their 7 year anniversary! Katrina and Steven are from England, and Steven popped the question while on a trip to New York. :)

It was an absolute honor to photograph this wedding day along with some of our favorite friendors- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup and Joe and Kristen of Switzerworld! I’m so excited to see their finished film! :)

Kicking things off with my favorite! <3

This vintage ring box held Katrina’s grandmother’s ring. :)

I love a good custom ring box, especially when there are floating lanterns involved! <3

Real-life fairy godmother- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. <3

One of my all time favorite father/daughter first looks- Equal parts silly and sweet.

Katrina, you made a gorgeous bride! <3

This moment. <3

Just a little pre-reception gaming in the arcade next door! <3

Post-cake smash icing in your hair? I got your back! ;)

Last dance squeeze with Kristen! :)

Katrina and Steven, thank you for having us!! :)

Before you read this, make sure you’ve read Rachael and Matt’s Wedding Part One!!!

Epcot wedding days are early wedding days. Most of our brides pull all-nighters before their wedding, because they’re drunk on wedding magic, pixie dust, and adrenaline! Well, that and their hair and make up team is showing up at 3am. ;)

We tend to set our alarms for 4am to start our day, get back home to take a nap after lunch, download cards, feed Huck, and head out for the dessert party. It’s not uncommon for me to wistfully tell Nate how amazing it’d be to have a room at the resort we finished at so we could just walk to our room and crash! Well, imagine my surprise when we left Rachael’s wedding and Nate pulled the car into the Boardwalk to valet! He told me he made lunch reservations (which I was a little peeved about because I just wanted to go home and sleep!!), but we checked in to our room instead. <3

It was so fun to just walk into the back entrance of Epcot a little early for the dessert party, grab a drink at the Rose and Crown, and shoot some fireworks!

But back to the wedding. ;) Their reception took place at the California Grill, probably my favorite Disney reception spot! I can never get enough of all that natural light and that view of my favorite park.

Rachael and Matt love dinosaurs. Like, LOVE dinosaurs. Rachael painted a bunch of little gold dinos to sprinkle around their tables, and she and Matt entered their reception to the Jurassic Park theme song! :) Rachael’s favorite movie is The Good Dinosaur, and their cake was themed to Pixar’s “Lava” short with characters from The Good Dinosaur around it. Juuuuuuust wait for the photos, y’all. <3

SO much love for this wedding. ENJOY!!!!!!

Kicking things off with my favorite ring shot of the year so far, a la Nate’s camera magic! <3

That viiiiiiiiiiew! <3

Sing it with me now!

“I have a dream I hope will come true
That you’re here with me and I’m here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above-a
Will send me someone to lava!”
