Katherine + Russ : Walt Disney World Wedding

August 1, 2022 by Jensey 3 Comments

Katherine and Russ originally dreamed of a wedding in Hawaii, but the pandemic made them re-think their plan. They ended up with a wedding weekend bringing guests into all four parks: A welcome dinner and safari ride at Animal Kingdom, ceremony at the Magic Kingdom, dinner at the Living Seas in Epcot followed by dancing and dessert at the American Adventure Rotunda, and last but certainly not least, a farewell dinner at Pizza Rizzo’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!!

Being outside photographers, we were able to capture everything except the ceremony at Magic Kingdom, but today I’m blogging their receptions in Epcot. Enjoy!! <3

Tiffany + Sean : Wedding at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Living Seas Salon

February 28, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

A true dream from first email, the opening line of Tiffany’s message was her asking if we would photograph her wedding day… and that she’d change her date if need-be. <3

Like so many of our Disney brides, she first found us through Carrie Hayward’s Disney Wedding Podcast, and Tiffany even says she’s read Carrie’s Disney Wedding Guide (almost) 743 times, lol!

When Tiffany and Sean first met, everyone said they were the opposite sex version of each other. They’ve been together now for almost a decade, and Tiffany says that having Sean’s son Patrick in her life has been the best thing that’s ever happened to her. They always felt like they’ve been married for so long but finally booked a Disney wedding to celebrate with their favorite people in their favorite place! :)

*My* favorite thing about this wedding day was watching Tiffany completely geek out about meeting some of our favorite vendor friends. Stacie from Fairytale Hair and Makeup, “Rev Kev” Kevin Knox, and Christine McPhail, her harpist– Every meeting brought new comments of “Oh. My. God. I can’t believe I’m about to meet THE Rev Kev,” etc. We laughed our way though the day so much our cheeks were sore!

Anyway, TIFFANY! I’m so so excited to be sharing YOUR wedding preview!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

This. First. Look. <3

Love this one of Tiffany and Patrick! <3

Sooo happy we could sneak into AbracadaBar for some photos! <3

It was off to The Living Seas Salon for their reception! <3

Tiffany and Sean, thank you SO much for having us!!! The day went by too too quickly! <3

Kelly + Dillan : Vintage Epcot Inspired Wedding

April 16, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It all started with a duct tape cupcake.

During orientation, Kelly and Dillan were doing a getting-to-know-you activity where everyone was given rolls of duct tape and told to “bake” something. Kelly whipped up a cupcake, and I mean, if you meet someone who holds *this* much talent, well… Are you surprised Dillan ended up proposing?! ;)

SO many nods to Epcot in this wedding. Epcot has been Kelly’s favorite place since she was a kid and Illuminations holds a special place in her and Dillan’s love story.

So much love for these sisters. <3

I *loved* that they read private vows during their first look. <3

Disney floral incorporated Kelly’s handmade park map flowers into her flowers. <3

Windy Florida hazards!

Spring has sprung in Orlando (sorry everyone else!)

This look Kelly had when she reached the end of the aisle with her dad gave me alllllll the feels. <3

This guy, my favorite violinist! He can play any song you request, even if he’s never heard it, just by listening to a song from someone’s phone. This was him killing “Stand Out” from A Goofy Movie. Powerline would be proud!

Spaceship Earth caaaaaaake!

I *thought* this would be my favorite photo when Nate showed it to me on the back of his camera…

… But then he took this one. For the first couple minutes after the fireworks finished, Kelly and Dillan just held each other and soaked in the last few minutes of their wedding day. You guys- This is why we love this job. <3

Kelly and Dillan, thank you for having us!!! :)
