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!!

Kaitlyn and Michael, this was so much fun to revisit!! We wish y’all the happiest ever after!! :)

Cameron + Tony | Wedding Reception at Disney’s California Grill

Cameron and Tony lived in the same apartment complex at one point. They were both runners.
It wasn’t until they connected on a dating app that these two finally met. ✨
Tony proposed at Disney’s Riviera Resort on the first night of their visit, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch for them to plan a Disney wedding!  Tony was most excited for their character visit on their wedding day, and Cameron couldn’t wait for their game of trivia at their reception. Oh YES, there was trivia!!Enjoy some favorite photos from this sweet day!!

Rebecca + Joe | Summer Wedding at Walt Disney World

September 10, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

In 2013, Rebecca and Joe enjoyed a first date at a restaurant Rebecca loved, followed by a trip to a local park where they walked around and swung on swings. They decided years later that they wanted to propose to each other; each planned a special moment during an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World! Rebecca proposed during an Epcot fireworks cruise. Joe chose Rebecca’s favorite ride, the Haunted Mansion, and proposed during Rebecca’s favorite part: the staircase room. :)

Our pal Stacie doing all the magic makeup things.

Obsessed with Rebecca’s curls!!

Rebecca wanted her attendants’ attire to be the color of old books. I think they came out perfectly!!

Rebecca and Joe, we can’t wait to see y’all again when you’re back!!!
