PAIGE AND ERNIE ARE MARRIED!!!

Fun fact: Paige and Ernie got engaged at Walt Disney World. Shortly after the proposal, Ernie was making small talk with a PhotoPass photographer and asked if they knew of any good Orlando wedding photographers. This person sent them to us and they ended up booking!! Ahh! I wish I knew their name so I could send a thank you note or give a big hug or high five! We are so thankful, so if you happen to be reading this, THANK YOU! <3

It felt like we waited forever for this day to arrive!! I’ve been stalking Ernie’s Instagram since Nate told me he has an account for his Disney park photography! (You should totally go follow him.) He and Paige were a match made in marching band history and their day was full of love, friends who adore them, excellent jumpers, and one particularly impressive triangle performance by Ernie’s best man at the reception! ;)

We had such a wonderful team of friends making this day happen! I love that when 2019 began, we’d never met Jess of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and now two weddings in, we can’t wait to work with her smiling face again in February! They were married at Bella Collina, my favorite Orlando wedding venue, Jim from FyerFly kept the dance floor packed, and this was the first wedding our pal Kim tried her hand at videography! Nate and I were smiling from the moment we picked up our cameras until we went to bed feeling like we’d made two great new friends. <3

Thank you to this team for making our part of the puzzle so easy! :)

Have you ever seen a more epic first dance?!?
First dance with sparklers and a cloud machine
“I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make.”
