Abby + Brendan | Boardwalk and Living Seas Disney Wedding

October 1, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Abby met Brendan at the University of Pittsburgh Library. Like a scene from a romantic comedy, Abby couldn’t get the printer to work, when suave Brendan came to the rescue. “I can fix that, I’m a rocket scientist!” (Brendan studied rockets in grad school.)

Or… at least that’s the story Abby told her friends when she actually met the love of her life on Tinder!

Their first date (ironically at a Pittsburgh bar named “The Library”) lasted six hours!! The following week brought three more dates. Then came Ellie May and Jethro, their cocker spaniels. It was on a trip to Aulani, in matching Star Wars Hawaiian shirts, when Brendan popped the question!!

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

Theresa + Alex : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

Social media is definitely my weakest link. When we’re in our slow season I’m GREAT about consistent posting, blogging within a week of a wedding, and replying back to everyone! But the busier we are behind the scenes, the quieter we often are online. Needless to say, I’ve been falling waaaaay behind on Instagram and Facebook but we’re definitely working feverishly to stay on top of wedding edits and gallery deliveries!!

I still have some 2020 weddings I haven’t gotten around to so I’ll be mixing up my timeline a bit on here to help with the backlog. Theresa and Alex have already been married for one MONTH and I’m so excited to share some of our favorite moments!! I’ll most remember how joyful Alex was from start to finish. Just waaaaaait until you see their first look! <3

I cry at almost *every* father daughter first look lately!!

I MEAN. <3 <3

Sometimes the best photos come when things *don’t* go as planned- Like when Alex was determined to make this unity candle light no matter what! :)

Instead of a bouquet and garter toss, they opted for a Mickey and Minnie toss! The guests loved it. <3

When their reception was over, we dragged our gear through 6″ puddles and pouring rain to book it to their private patio for their dessert party. As we were running to the venue, the music started and the show started 10 minutes early! We set up lights in the rain and waited for Theresa and Alex… and waited and waited… and waited! They came RUNNING up in ponchos literally during the last 15 seconds of the show, tossed their rain gear, and the rain stopped almost immediately. I’m so glad they made it JUST In time and we were able to get some beautiful photos!!

I remember every dessert party in the pouring rain and this one will be no different!!! Thank you for having us, Theresa and Alex!! :)
