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

Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

I have NEVER seen a bride move so quickly as when she opened her Coke and it almost spilled down her dress! Who decided brides should be married in white again?!?
