Susan + Jim : Classic Grand Floridian Wedding

by Leave a Comment

They can’t remember meeting because they’ve known each other since childhood. <3

They didn’t start dating until much later. They’ve traveled all over the world, but Disney is like home to them. She was born into her love of Disney (her first trip being when she was just 6 weeks old!), his love of Disney came out of his love for her. She’s Pirates, he’s the People Mover.

Susan and Jim’s first email to us was full of little notes like that, so right away we felt like fast friends. I have so many photos from this day I’m excited to share!!

Friends, meet Susan and Jim. <3

 

Susan and Jim, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for letting us be a part!! <3

Chelsea + Justin : Oak Manor Lawn Disney Wedding

by Leave a Comment

I’m so thankful our Oak Manor Lawn curse seeeems to have been lifted! My Tennessee heart longed to photograph a wedding here, but Florida storms kept moving our ceremonies to backup locations. The forecast leading up to Chelsea and Justin’s day wasn’t looking good (you’d think I’d know by now to never trust a 10 day forecast!!), but not only did the rain stay away, but we had the dreamiest, magical-est light. I’m exactly as in love with Oak Manor Lawn ceremonies as I thought I’d be. <3

Chelsea and Justin’s love story began with Bumble (thankfully Justin was persistent- sounds like it took quite a few tries before Chelsea finally swiped right!!) As soon as they started dating, Chelsea realized what a catch Justin was and she’s been smitten ever since.

I’m so excited that Chelsea and Justin chose Kimberly from Heart Happy Films for their wedding videography; I cannot wait to see her masterpiece from this day! Make sure you’re following her on Instagram so we can swoon over it together. My favorite thing about working with Kimberly is how well our final products work together. Sometimes when you see the wedding photos vs. video there’s just a different “feel,” but Heart Happy’s videos genuinely look like our photos came back to life. Does that make sense? :)

Massive thanks to our wonderful vendor team!! :)
