Erin + Tom : Fairy Tale Wedding at Walt Disney World

May 3, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

They were set up by their mothers. <3

All part of the same circle of friends in Siesta Key, Erin and Tom’s moms planned for Erin to join Tom’s family on a VIP tour at Walt Disney World. Sparks flew immediately, and they spent their first evening together at Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tour watching Wishes… and subsequently staying up talking until 2am! I love that their wedding day brought this story full circle when they ended their day with a dessert party overlooking the Magic Kingdom fireworks. :)

Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup did her usual magical job. <3

Erin gifted Tom Mickey cufflinks! <3

You know it’s a good day when you start the morning with a view of your wedding venue. <3

I love these photos of Erin writing Tom her wedding day love note, but can we talk about those SLIPPERS?!

First look time! :) First with Dad…

… And then her girls! :)

I looooooved how their ballroom turned out! Jamie was their planner and she did such a phenomenal job! :)

First dance magic. :)

Erin and Tom were engaged on the Grand One Yacht, and we were able to sneak away for some photos there during the reception! :)

Choreographed father daughter dance! :)

Erin and Tom, thank you for lettings us be a part of your day!! We wish you all the magic in the world! :)

Ashley + Bradley : Cypress Grove Estate House Wedding in Orlando

March 14, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

I can’t think of a better wedding to feature in March than a gorgeous plantation wedding with more towering green trees than you can shake a stick at. Their wedding may have taken place in November, but everything about Ashley and Bradley’s wedding, colors included, make me think of spring. :)

These guys came to Orlando from Canada for their wedding, and instead of having a Disney wedding, they got married at the gorgeous Cypress Grove Estate House. Every time I’m there I wish we were there more often, it’s so beautifully southern and I love getting a “Tennessee” fix every now and then. Plus, Ashley loved it because it reminded her of Edward and Bella’s wedding venue in Twilight. ;)

This was our first wedding with RW Events, and Rachel was such a pleasure to work with! She kept things cool when nerves ran high and the day went off without a hitch. Reverend Kevin Knox performed the ceremony, and Kristin of Our DJ Rocks kept the dance floor packed. It really was such a wonderful day! :)

First look time!! :) Ashley and Brad saw each other before their ceremony and we were able to get their portraits and wedding party photos done in great light! The sun went down shortly after the wedding and we wouldn’t have had any time for these portraits otherwise.

You can take the girl out of Disney, but you can’t take the Disney out of the girl! :)

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

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. :)
