Antonia + Nathan : Disney Boardwalk Inn Wedding

August 1, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Antonia and Nathan met on Hinge. <3 Their first date was at Spyglass Brewery, which happened to be located in an industrial building. Despite Antonia’s brain convincing her she was about to be murdered, she trusted her heart and it turned out to be a dream of a hole-in-the-wall spot! After they’d been together for a while, Antonia would check Nathan’s pockets searching for an engagement ring any time he’d plan something. When it was time for the actual proposal, Nathan hid the engagement ring in an eyeglass cloth wipe so she didn’t see it! Antonia was having a tough week, so Nathan said he wanted to take her out to dinner. That dinner ended up being an engagement dinner with his parents!! Antonia says she was scream-crying “YES!” even before he was on a knee or took out the ring; it took him a few minutes to *actually* propose because Antonia was so happy. Later at dinner with both of their parents, she found out that during that blackout moment of excitement, she took the ring from Nathan and put in on her own finger. Nathan was thrilled she made his job so easy!!

One of the most special parts of Antonia’s engagement was wedding dress shopping with both of their mothers. She went to Marry and Tux, a little dress shop in Nashua, and found the dress. Not only was it so special with both of their moms being there for that magic moment, but Marry and Tux is also the dress shop where Nathan’s mom found her wedding dress when she was engaged to his father. <3

Jackie + Eddie : Up the Creek Farms Wedding in Malabar, Florida

August 7, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Nate and I listed our home for sale in May of 2021. A few days later, I get a message from our past bride Amanda asking if we were selling our home. Her sister was looking for one in Winter Garden and thought she saw some familiar faces in photos on the walls. :)

Long story short, it sounds like Jackie was having a hard time finding a home (this was in peak crazy selling season!) and her mom encouraged her to up her budget a little bit. Mom ended up finding OUR home in her searching, telling Jackie, “see! The Roots’s home would have been a perfect fit, but now it’s under contract- you waited too long!”

Lucky for us, the stars aligned and that contract fell through. Jackie and Eddie ended up buying our home! I was *devastated* to move… Nate and I built it, choosing every cabinet, paint color, lighting fixture, and had the prettiest living room wallpaper. Even more than that, our good friend painted the most magical Small World nursery and it was truly a home I saw us in forever. I am so happy that it went to a couple that I know will love and care for it like we did, a pup Ace to fill the pup-size hole left by Huck, and (selfishly) we get to now visit someday!! This way, I don’t need to creepily knock on the door of a stranger or feel weird making slow drive-bys wondering what it looks like now. I can just call my friend Jackie and say, “HEY! Let’s have a BBQ. And by that I mean YOU need to have a BBQ and invite us over! And also can you please invite your family because we miss everybody.” <3

First things first for this wedding… 2023 seems to be the year of dogs at weddings and I could not be more here for it if I tried. Hi Ace!! <3

The wedding was held at Up the Creek Farms in Malabar, Florida. This venue was perfect for them: a *killer* getting ready suite, whimsical outdoor wedding ceremony site under majestic mossy trees, and just down the path, a rustic indoor reception venue with wooden beams. Everything was *right* there which ended up being incredibly convenient as we spent the day dodging rain drops!









 

Yep. Our first champagne gun at a wedding!

Alright Jackie and Eddie… How about that BBQ?! We love y’all!!

Raquele + Garrett : Harry P. Leu Gardens Wedding

September 6, 2021 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Raquele first found us through her sister who had a family session with Nate, and Taylor’s wedding we photographed. I can’t stress enough how lucky we are to have families like Taylor’s who pass us on to everyone they love! <3

Racquele and Garrett met in California. They dated long distance for a year and a half and grew together despite the distance. Their love of God, each other, and the outdoors were all beautifully on display at their wedding ceremony at Harry P. Leu Gardens.

Raquele and Garrett, it was an absolute honor!! Thank y’all for having us!! :)
