Jessy + Bligh : Winter Park Engagement Session

May 23, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

Jessy and Bligh’s engagement session was one of those rare times that Nate and I were laughing so hard and having so much fun hanging out with our couple that I kept having to remind myself that we were “on the job.” :) Jessy found us through our mutual very best friends, the amazing Jeffrey and Lisa Stoner. Jessy was Lisa’s right hand at weddings for years, and we met her at a wedding, clicked, and a few months later she was booking us for her wedding. I’ve always been a strong believer that you can judge a person by the company they keep, so any friend of the Stoners’ is an immediate friend of ours! Jessy is no exception. Bligh is hilarious and a pilot, and since I come from a family of hilarious pilots, we got along just fine. :)

While Bligh has many attributes to love, my favorite may be his strong passion for mondo grass. :)

Because it isn’t an engagement session with Bligh until he catches a Dunkin Donuts Munchkin in his mouth!

Jessy and Bligh, we love y’all and can’t wait for your crazy fun wedding this November!!!

Emily + Matt : Winter Park Engagement Session

Emily is the sister of my sister’s best friend. I’m ecstatic for her and Matt’s wedding this November. :)

We photographed their session in Winter Park at Rollins College and Kraft Azalea Park, where we shot as fast as we possibly could to beat the rain!

Emily, you’re gorgeous. :)

Favorite. :)

And if the session couldn’t have gone better, Emily sent us home with chocolate covered Oreos! <3

Kristen + Rob : Wedding Part II

Continued from Kristen and Rob’s Wedding Part I.

I know they say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, but I’m gonna just throw it out here that a random Carrot Top sighting on your wedding day must be REALLY good luck. :)

One thing I loved about working with these guys is how much they trusted us. From our vendor suggestion in the beginning to photos on the wedding day, they were amazing about making us feel heard! :)

Favorite! :)

Kristen and Rob’s reception was held at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market. I couldn’t believe in 6+ years of doing this business, this was our first Winter Park Farmer’s Market wedding! Lucky for us, Tracy Marini of Eventfully Yours was on hand to make the evening a success. And by that I mean she brought us juice boxes… Again. :)

The set up at the Farmer’s Market was absolutely gorgeous. This venue is sooooo dark, so their added lighting made all the difference!

Kristen and Rob’s first dance was one of those sneaky slow-dance-turned-fast-dance dances.

Rob’s dance with his mom was just another one of those sneaky slow-dance-turned-flash-mob dances.

Yes, I said FLASH MOB!

I have to add in here that our pal Maria Shafer did an amazing job keeping the dance floor packed! If you’re looking for a dj for your big day, check out Maria’s site and tell her we sent you! :) My only complaint working with Maria is she makes me wanna stop working and dance!
