Maddie + Lou : Epcot Disney Wedding

by Leave a Comment

It was love at first sight for Maddie when she met Lou through mutual friends at a concert; they were the only ones singing the “Friends in Low Place” cover together. :)

Fast forward 7 years and Lou proposed on their first trip in Disneyland, in front of Mickey’s Fun Wheel! Maddie was speechless, and it only made sense that their wedding take place at Walt Disney World. <3

Chelsea + Justin : Oak Manor Lawn Disney Wedding

by Leave a Comment

I’m so thankful our Oak Manor Lawn curse seeeems to have been lifted! My Tennessee heart longed to photograph a wedding here, but Florida storms kept moving our ceremonies to backup locations. The forecast leading up to Chelsea and Justin’s day wasn’t looking good (you’d think I’d know by now to never trust a 10 day forecast!!), but not only did the rain stay away, but we had the dreamiest, magical-est light. I’m exactly as in love with Oak Manor Lawn ceremonies as I thought I’d be. <3

Chelsea and Justin’s love story began with Bumble (thankfully Justin was persistent- sounds like it took quite a few tries before Chelsea finally swiped right!!) As soon as they started dating, Chelsea realized what a catch Justin was and she’s been smitten ever since.

I’m so excited that Chelsea and Justin chose Kimberly from Heart Happy Films for their wedding videography; I cannot wait to see her masterpiece from this day! Make sure you’re following her on Instagram so we can swoon over it together. My favorite thing about working with Kimberly is how well our final products work together. Sometimes when you see the wedding photos vs. video there’s just a different “feel,” but Heart Happy’s videos genuinely look like our photos came back to life. Does that make sense? :)

Massive thanks to our wonderful vendor team!! :)
