Danielle + Michael : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Here’s a new one!!

Once upon a time, Danielle fell in love with Michael, her mom’s personal trainer. :)

They started as friends but 6 months later, started dating. Michael had never been to Disney, but Danielle was used to going a few times per year with her family. They fell in love with the Beach Club, each other, and became annual passholders. Michael proposed at Sea Breeze Point, and even though they had an off-property Catholic wedding, I’m so happy we were able to take some portraits of them there!

I’m beyond excited to share this one. They could both pass for royalty and are one of the sweetest couples we’ve ever had the honor of working with.

Abby + Brendan | Boardwalk and Living Seas Disney Wedding

by 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!!

I loved the ways Abby and Brendan included the pups!!
Abby and Brendan, tell us when it’s time for the vow renewalllllll!!! <3

Katherine + Russ : Walt Disney World Wedding

by 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
