Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

July 19, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3

Taylor and Jeff were married at the Capen House in Winter Park, and I truly fell in love with this venue and this couple! Their wedding color was yellow, and I couldn’t pick a better color for Taylor’s sunny personality! :)

A HUGE thanks to this dream team of a vendor list! :)

Y’ALL, I’M BLOGGING. FINALLY. Let’s just take a minute and let that soak in!!!

I’m about a million shoots behind but I can’t think of a better wedding to get back on track than with beautiful Lisa and her Alex. <3

This was one of those genuinely unfair wedding days where it was nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Just going through the photos for this blog post had me smiling from ear to ear all over again! :) And I CANNOT thank our team of fairy godmothers and fathers enough for making this event an absolute dream come true!

This bridesmaid reveal!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I thiiiiink Alex approved! <3

Fun fact about Annunciation Catholic Church: When baby Nate and baby Jensey were newlyweds, we lived in a condo down the street! At night, we’d take a then two-eyed Huck for late night walks around the grounds. :)

They could be models! Every single one of them. <3

After our church portraits got rained out, we headed back to the Ritz for reception magic and sunny portraits! :)

And then <3 <3 <3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa’s planner, Carly Rose, truly outdid herself! :)

The *second* they opened their eyes to see the room they’d dreamed about! Lisa’s happy tears and Alex’s jaw-drop says it all :)

  

M A G I C .

FAVORITE. <3

If I told you this moment happened while “The Circle of Life” played, would you believe me?
