You may remember Veronica and Jamie from their engagement session at Downtown Disney. You know, the one with the cute green Gummy Bear engagement ring photo? :)
Veronica and I were both Fantasyland cast members during our Walt Disney World College Programs and we’ve kept in touch ever since. She was one of those friends who would always comment on our photos saying she wanted us to photograph her wedding someday, and I wasn’t holding my breath because sometimes you don’t know if people are just saying that and they’ll forget about us when that day comes. Sure enough, Veronica wrote us immediately after getting a ring on her finger. She and Jamie booked us so far out from their wedding date- One of those bookings that seems like it’ll never come, but at the same time you kinda don’t wanna rush it because it’s one you’re really looking forward to and I love having those on the calendar. :)
I love when friends get engaged, because I’m able to put them in touch with other wedding vendor friends who I know will take good care of them. I can’t imagine being engaged today and not knowing anything about wedding vendors and just Googling for a wedding planner and hoping for the best! I immediately put Veronica in touch with “friendors” of ours and crossed my fingers they were good matches for each other! Veronica ended up going with our pal Tracy Marini of Eventfully Yours who took great care of them through the planning process, and Patricia LeJeune of LeJeune Artistry, who took an already gorgeous Veronica and made her the best version of herself. :)
I can’t remember if this moment was Veronica freaking out excited about getting her wedding dress on or freaking out because her maid-of-honor just suggested they all jump in the pool at the end of the night! ;)
Favorite moment of the day? Jamie walking to the first look. ;) Nate told him not to look to the left because Veronica was waiting there, so Jamie decided to walk sideways like this the whooooole way, facing away from us. I mean- The poor guy could have covered his eyes or just turned his head to the right, but this was so much cuter and took about 10 times longer than necessary. Veronica and I were cracking up. :)
I know I shared this on this month’s First Look on the 1st, but I have to one more time. So much love!! <3
Veronica and Jamie had their ceremony and reception at Orlando’s Rosen Shingle Creek Resort.
Veronica, you’re gorgeous. <3
Love this shot of Tracy and Veronica! <3
I loooooove photographing weddings when I have friends in the bridal party! I also worked with this gorgeous face at Disney. :)
Love this shot Nate got of Veronica and her dad starting their walk. :)
Ring warming ceremonies are my most favorite. :)
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for part two! <3
