Charlotte + David : Romantic Disney Wedding

June 19, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

It’s Charlotte and David’s blog day!!! :)

You might remember Charlotte and David’s engagement session if you ever mistook one of our brides for Zooey Deschanel! :) I was dying to photograph this day ever since Nate took their engagement photos around downtown Winter Garden. :)

Charlotte and David traveled all the way from the UK to get married! When 16 year old Charlotte took a family vacation to Walt Disney World, she caught a glimpse of the Wedding Pavilion from the ferry and knew she’d be back to get married there some day. Well, spoiler alert: Her dream came true and it was such a lovely day, and not just because I got to listen to their delightful accents for 10 hours! :)

There is no way to put into words how much we loved these two, so I’ll just leave you with Charlotte’s wedding vows, which made me fall in love with their love!

“You’ve literally made my dreams come true today because you love me- possibly too much- and knew it meant the world to me. I love your kindness, your handsome face, your loyalty, and your patience. I love how much you love me, the way you look at me, and that you put up with my constant singing. I love your bad jokes, your dodgy dancing, and of course your bum! I am so thankful for all the memories we have shared, our funny first date because your brothers canceled on you, the sweet way you asked me to be your girlfriend, and your face when you saw how much I could eat for breakfast. I promise to keep reminding you your kabobs on the way home are unhealthy and to wear lots of sun cream because I want to live long happy lives by each other’s side. You are and will always be my greatest adventure and I’m so excited for all we’ve got before us.”

Huge thanks to our wonderful vendor friends for making this day so magical, but the most thanks goes to this sweet couple. Charlotte and David, we can’t wait to catch up again on your future trips back here!!

Look at the little hidden Mickey on David’s wedding band!!! <3

This one of Charlotte’s Mum watching her daughter get dressed gives me alllllll the feels. <3

David was the most, most dapper! <3

Charlotte and her father had their first look in front of my Mary Poppins fountain! (I’m just loaning it to the Grand for the time being, but expect to have it back in my front yard soon.)

“Wingardium leviosa!”

One of my many favorites! Looooooved Charlotte’s sweet parents. <3

Hellloooooo, Zooey Deschanel!

Nate and I wanted to adopt all three- British accents and all! <3 <3 <3

After guests enjoyed dinner and toasts on the patio, they headed to the Whitehall Room for dancing and magic lanterns! :)

Look at this wedding cake topper!!!

Their first dance began like any other…

… And morphed into one of the most impressive choreographed dances to a montage of Disney favorites! :)

I don’t have a clue what’s going on here, but I’m obsessed and felt the need to share. More of whatever this is, please! :)

Charlotte and David, we can’t thank you enough for having us. Come back and visit soon!!! :)

Samantha + Andre : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding at the Grand Floridian

January 18, 2018 by Jensey 2 Comments

What a wedding to kick off our year!!!

Samantha grew up taking family vacations to Disney and always dreamed of a Florida wedding. Andre had never been but always wanted to visit, so a Disney wedding it was! <3

They got ready at the Animal Kingdom Lodge before their ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion. <3

ROYALTY.

Andre’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time makes ME cry!!

Samantha’s brother married them in such a sweet ceremony. We love when friends and family officiate! :)

MARRIED! <3

We make you kiss a lot when you’re married. ;)

Too many favorites, but this one’s way up there!

Those Nate Root in-between-photo-moments are the sweeeeeetest. <3

I could photograph you guys ALL DAY. Is it too soon for a vow renewal?!

Samantha and Andre, thank you for having us!!!!

Nicole + Michael : Walt Disney World Wedding

December 8, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

There are weddings we love, weddings we really love, and then weddings that when editing, make me think, “Oh, this might be my favorite Disney wedding EVER.”

Nicole and Michael’s day was that wedding for me. Nicole has all the makings of your quintessential Disney princess. She’s kind, gorgeous, and though I can’t confirm it, I’m pretty sure a team of blue birds must dress her every morning. Michael was an absolute sweetheart, and it was so completely evident to everyone around how much he adores Nicole.

We had a dream team of vendors, from us (duh), to Tyler of Beyond Videography, and a magical team of fairy godmothers from Ciro’s Hair Pavilion in NJ who flew down to do hair and make-up! :)

They did an amazing job- Not once, but twice did I hear random little girls gasp and tell their mom “Princess Jasmine is getting married!”

When I pulled photos for their blog post, my heart couldn’t narrow down any less than 90 to share. So, this is a surprise two-parter. (Sorry, Nicole!!) But I’m just that in love with this sweet couple. ❤

Nicole and Michael, I can never thank you enough for letting us be a part of it all. We so hope these photos make you happy!!! :)

Nicole said that for years, she’s looked for an ornate copy of The Princess Bride to put on her bookshelf. Michael to the rescue with the perfect wedding morning surprise! :)

Nate posing these slippers like “real” shoes for this photo made my heart swoon!! :)

Is it weird to love a wedding dress so much you want to marry it? Good. :)

First look love. <3

And then my favorite wedding moment of 2016 happened: Nicole sat on the floor in her big, magic gown (did you see that bow?! Magic!!) in front of the Grand Floridian’s Christmas tree and she and Michael exchanged their wedding gifts.

Blue-box smile! <3
