Kelly + Sean : Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian and Epcot

June 6, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kelly and Sean were “super likes” on Tinder. While their first date was less than ideal (think loud venue, a forgotten ID, a hidden Disney obsession!), but once they left to a bar where they could actually hear each other, it was clear something was “there.”

Fast-forward and they’re at one of their favorite places, Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu. After Sean hid Kelly’s engagement ring so well even he couldn’t find it(!), and a golf cart’s il-timed driveby almost ruined the proposal, Sean finally took a knee and Kelly blurted out her “YES!” through her tears! :)

While Sean was the Disney fan of the two of them, it didn’t take much convincing to get Kelly on board after their first trip together. He was so excited to share his favorite place with his favorite adventure buddy, and when it came time to choose a wedding venue, it was Disney or bust!

Nicole + Brian : Boardwalk Inn Disney Wedding – Sea Breeze Point and The Attic

May 30, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Nicole and Brian met in the first grade, but it wasn’t until high school when they started dating.

Years later, Brian was able to do the unimaginable: surprise Nicole, the planner! They were on a long weekend vacation, taking a sunset walk, when Brian got down on one knee and proposed. <3

A Disney wedding was always in the plans, and the Boardwalk Inn being Nicole’s family’s home resort meant she spent years dreaming of a ceremony at Sea Breeze Point!

Love this one of Nicole holding a hangar made from her grandmother’s wedding dress. <3

First look with Dad first…

… then the groom. <3

One of those days where we smiled until our cheeks hurt!! The best compliment was given to us from our DFTW coordinator this day- “Oh, I knew they were a Root couple the second I met them.” <3 <3

I. MEAN. <3

Just a moment for this beauty in the spring. I can still smell those flowers! <3

They had a “ring warming” ceremony where they passed their wedding bands around for their guests to hold and pray over during the ceremony. We’ve seen this over the years, but I particularly loved the little Mickey carabiner keeping the rings safe and together!!

Marriedddddd!!

Head on to part two!! :)
