Rachael + Matt : Epcot Wedding Ceremony (Wedding Part I)

September 12, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can’t believe this is my second wedding in a row with a two part blog post! Yikes!!

Rachael and Matt’s wedding was the first Epcot one we’ve had in months. It was also the first wedding with nice weather we’ve had since spring. Also, there were dinosaurs. But more on that in part two later this week!! :)

Hurricane Hermine was threatening to make this wedding day an interesting one, to say the least. While their dessert party got rained out and we fought some drops and crazy wind that evening, the wedding morning was actually pretty wonderful! Not only did they get to keep their ceremony outside, but it didn’t rain, and I sweat the least that morning than I’ve sweat since March!

If you’re looking for something to get me for Christmas, I want this fountain in my backyard, please. <3

Rachael got ready in one of the most beautiful rooms I’ve ever been in at the Grand Floridian! There was a little entry room with gorgeous wallpaper and a mirror, so Nate and I were in heaven photographing Rachael’s details. :)

First look time! <3

Uh, remember what I said about Hurricane Hermine? Our pal David of Trinity Wedding Cinema pulled this up an hour before the ceremony!

We rushed around the world for portraits in case the weather had other plans after the ceremony. Lucky for us, the clouds held out, and we enjoyed nature’s soft box of light from this overcast day. :)

Their wedding was officiated by the ever-magical Renee Silverman of A Lovely Ceremony!

Their ceremony had so many sweet moments, as all of Renee’s weddings do, but my favorite is always the ring warming ceremony. Rachael’s sister passed off their wedding bands at the beginning of the ceremony for their guests to take turns holding and praying over, sending positive thoughts to the bride and groom.

That ceremony view, though. <3

Fact : I cried every. single. time. I tried to take a photo of Rachael’s emotional sisters!! <3 The Chinese have a beautiful reason behind why we wear our rings on a specific finger. You can read more about it here, but I love that Renee added this to their ceremony! :)

Heather + Michael : Sea Breeze Point Wedding + Epcot Italy Reception

April 20, 2015 by Jensey 6 Comments

Heather and Michael met over 12 years ago at work. They lost touch, and nearly a decade later, he saw her profile on Match.com and they’ve been together ever since!

Their ceremony was at the Boardwalk Inn’s Sea Breeze Point, and reception was a first-ever for us at Italy Isola. :) We also photographed this wedding just a few short days after moving into our new home. It was the perfect break from cardboard boxes and boxes and boxes!

Any wedding that starts with sparkly Kate Spade shoes is a win in my book. :)

Even more a win when Patricia LeJeune is on hand for hair and make-up. :)

Michael’s daughter stole the show as flower girl. Look at that dressssssss! She was in great spirits despite the fact that until that week, she thought *she* was the bride!
