Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

March 10, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.

Gabrielle’s flower girl killed it in her role!!!!

I could barely shoot through my *own* tears watching Logan’s reaction to seeing Gabrielle for the first time!

Their reception was held at Disney’s Atlantic Dance Hall, a venue I haven’t photographed in aaaaaages and it felt so good to be back!

Gabby and Logan, thank you for having us!!! It was such a fun day!!!! :)

Courtney + Andy : Wedding Pavilion and California Grill Wedding and Reception

January 26, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

We knew we would love these two from the first piece of mail they sent us: Their signed wedding agreement and retainer, along with the happiest drawings! We got one of Huckleberry, and I remember telling Nate, “I just feel like not many photographers  get custom drawings of their pets when clients send payment… Right?!”

Like Andy, I first noticed Courtney’s piercing baby blue eyes when she first opened the door! Before I knew it, we were bonding over our shared love of Disney and long road trips. <3 The whole day just felt easy, and of course it helped that she had the sweetest vendors on her wedding day- We always love working with Lindsay from Disney Weddings at the dream team at the California Grill <3

Without further ado, enjoy my favorites from our first wedding of 2020!! <3

I always get emotional with mother son dances now but add an adoption story in the mix and I’m honestly amazed when my photos come out in focus!
