Candace + Erik | Haunted Mansion Themed Wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn

October 10, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Oh, I’ve been waiting *all* year to share this one for spooky season!! ✨

Two archaeologists fell in love and had one of the most memorable weddings we’ve been a part of. A stunning black wedding dress? Check. Haunted Mansion themed reception? Mhm. A palm reader giving fortunes? Yooooouuuu betcha!!

Buckle up friends, this was a good one!! :)

 

What you see on your wedding morning…

What we see. :) Also hiiiii Stacie Otto!! Hair and makeup extraordinaire, but also the best to have on hand when you’re getting ready solo!

Still not over this gown. And those stunning florals.

I never get tired of sights like these.

Their officiant was Ever Afters by Randi.

I LOVE THIS IDEAAAAAA. During Candace and Erik’s wedding ceremony, they filled a chest to be a time capsule with things special to them as a couple. As each item was placed in the box, their officiant read why it reflected part of their story.

 

The Attic was made for receptions like this!!

 

 

And now an ode to their palm reader, who truly leveled up this wedding. Their guests loooooved her.

Hiiiiiii Marrily Married!!! Candace and Erik, thank you so so so SO much for having usssss!!! It was truly a day we won’t forget!!

Kaitlyn + Michael | Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

September 25, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kaitlyn and Michael met in high school while working together at Kaitlyn’s uncle’s restaurant! 5 years later, Michael asked Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend on the 4th of July, so fireworks are extra special to them as a couple.

After a proposal at Virginia Beach (think huge “MARRY ME” letters and flowers in front of the ocean), Michael was happy to follow along with Kaitlyn’s dream Disney wedding! They even brought their moms to Walt Disney World to tour their dream venues. We were so excited for this one- they were married in Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, had their cocktail hour in Italy Isola, and danced the night away at the American Adventure Rotunda!

My favorite part about sharing weddings from years past- seeing sweet faces we miss working with!! Hi Charlotte!!
Off to the American Adventure Rotunda!!
Kaitlyn and Michael had their wedding party compete for who would have the best intro. I believe these guys came into “Gaston” and this bridesmaid kicked his butt:
This was Prince Ali, where she got wheeled in!
The winner being announced :)
Kaitlyn and her mom danced to “Edelweiss” and we all cried.
They handed out light up bracelets that synced together, like a Taylor Swift concert!!
Bouquet toss from the upstairs balcony!
Kaitlyn and Michael, this was so much fun to revisit!! We wish y’all the happiest ever after!! :)
