Holly + Megan : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

July 29, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Holly and Megan met in college but quickly realized there was something more there. A house, a couple kittens, and oh, 18 years later, they reached out to us about photographing their wedding! Megan surprised Holly with a proposal on a private fireworks cruise a around Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon. Covid meant their original wedding date and plans had to shift a bit, but as we’ve learned the past two years, love is *very* patient and I think their day ended up just the way it was meant to be. <3

Following the theme of delayed timelines and backup plans for their wedding, Holly and Megan’s ceremony got moved from an outdoor location at the Polynesian to a covered patio at the Grand Floridian. It was an emotional call to make in the moment, but we were lucky enough to still get to take some portraits where the wedding would have been. And the rain backup meant they got to add another photo location, monorails and all!

Holly’s late mother was nearby all day with this sweet tribute in her bridal clutch. <3

They are both incredibly close with their brothers, so it was only right to have a special first look with them, too. <3

Their floral was so unique!! <3

I love when couples do a “ring warming” ceremony and pass them around for family and friends to hold and think good thoughts. Our pal Melissa at Disney Weddings made sure to help out the ring bearer! <3

PERFECT cake topper when you’re getting married after two decades of being together! :)

Holly and Megan got engaged while watching this fireworks show, so it was extra special to watch it again on their wedding night. <3

One of our most favorite venues- the Napa Room at California Grill <3

Holly and Megan, it was an absolute honor being a small part of your day!!! <3

Jessica + Forrest : Polynesian Village Resort Engagement Session

January 9, 2017 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, we showed up for an engagement session at the Polynesian, and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s clone showed up! These two are from Mississippi, which meant that *my* southern accent was back in full swing for a good week. ;)

Jessica and Forrest met at a college football game through friends- Jessica’s childhood babysitter and Forrest’s big sister were friends. One thing led to another, and Forrest became a converted Disney fan and even popped the question in front of Cinderella Castle. Jessica said she never saw it coming! :)

We loved getting to know these guys and this became one of my favorite sessions from last year. Enjoy! :)
