I cannot, lol :)

What our brides see…

… What Nate sees! <3

When the veil decides to run away! :)

On to my favorite ballroom- The American Adventure Rotunda! Well… On for these guys and Nate and our assistant Kim who took over for me! :)

Have you ever seen a better entrance in your whole entire life?! Confetti cannons are always a good idea, but I’m in love with this photo Nate got when it was just Danielle and Chris on the dance floor! <3

How to spot a professional dancer: How high her wedding dress flies when she twirls :)

Nate got to meet Danielle and Chris a couple days later for more portraits since the rain had other plans. This meant a mama/Ollie Mickey waffle date, and Ollie got to meet his first real life princess when the shoot was done! :) Danielle and Chris, we love y’all and hope to see you again soon!! :)

Courtney + Justin : Grand Floridian Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Citricos Reception

April 29, 2015 by Jensey 7 Comments

Just like me, Courtney grew up vacationing to Walt Disney World every year despite not being raised in Florida. It’s only fitting that after a surprise proposal in front of Cinderella Castle, Courtney and Justin tied the knot at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian.

Courtney has the spunk and effervescence of a Disney princess come to life, and we were so honored to document her and Justin’s day! It’s hard to believe it’s nearly been three weeks since these two became Mr. and Mrs., so excuse me for forgoing my traditional sneak peek post and just full-on blogging their fairytale. Enjoy! <3

So. Many. Favorite. Faces. Between Courtney getting in her wedding gown (pictured below), and having her veil put in, my Instagram account has posts for daaaaaays. <3

Courtney, I love you so hard. <3

I finally got around to seeing the new Cinderella, and I can confirm that Courtney was waaaaay more excited for this carriage ride than the princess herself!

Every now and then in our Disney weddings, our brides and grooms will play a little joke on the best man: The officiant asks him for the rings, he realizes he doesn’t have them, and then Major Domo steps in to save the day. :)

The closest I’ll ever get to riding in this thing is Nate sneaking in for a photo! :)

One of my favorites by Nate. :)

THIS. WEDDING. CAKE. YOU. GUYS. Bar set!!!! (That’s their centerpiece on the left!)

Oh, Courtney and Justin, can we do it again, please?! Thank you for letting us be a part of it! <3

Nikki + Matt : Disney’s Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Boardwalk Inn’s Atlantic Dance Hall Reception

November 18, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

You may remember Nikki and Matt from their Disney Bounding engagement session I posted earlier this year! I’m excited to finally share Tink and Jiminy Cricket’s wedding day. <3

Matt and Nikki’s dessert party took place on their wedding day eve, and Matt booked us to photograph it without telling Nikki! She was totally surprised to see us and was thankfully ok with us crashing their party and stuffing our pockets with Mickey rice crispy treats on our way out. Nikki and Matt’s Illuminations dessert party was our first time photographing in Epcot since the outside photography ban lifted! It felt so, so good to be back. :)

We said our goodbyes to our lovely couple and unbenonst to Nikki, headed to the front of the park for one final surprise. See, when Matt and Nikki had just started dating, they “accidentally” bumped into each other in Epcot while on separate Disney vacations. They recreated an iconic photo of their youth, the one and only Cory Matthews kissing Topanga in front of Spaceship Earth. Matt and Nikki were going to recreate this photo with Nikki’s brother taking the picture, but surprise! Nate was there to take it instead. I hope we did it justice! :)

The next morning we were up bright and early for their big day! I brag about our couples all the time to our wedding vendor friends because clearly Root couples are best, but this is photo proof. Nikki and Matt remembered our website bios and had these surprises for us in their hotel mini fridge upon arrival. Swooooooon! <3

Nikki and Matt also are blog readers and took note on the post I did about the awesomeness of getting ready in connecting rooms (read it here!) Nate and I loved being able to just pop in to one room when the other had a down moment, and visa-versa.
