Carriatrick : Part 1

December 6, 2010 by Jensey 10 Comments

How is it almost Christmas already?! I suppose there’s no better time to share some holiday photo love. :)

The next two posts are full of photos we took during a play week we had last December with some of our most favorite people. :)

Our friends Carrie and Patrick stayed at the fancy new Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort which  I was dying to see, and we did a mini-shoot with them around the hotel. :)

Loved all the details…

Carpet angels!

The sweetest anniversary/ wedding gift ever- Since Nate and I eloped, we never got to have a wedding cake. Carrie and Patrick, being the amazing friends they are, surprised us one night at dinner with a Disney anniversary cake. Sweetest gift ever, ever. I totally cried. :) Note Carrie’s note to detail- She knows my love of all things Christmas and Tiffany boxes. ;)

JULU!!!!!!! Justin and Lu, two more of my favorite people on the planet. I’m so sad we’re not seeing you guys this month! :(

The cast members of the Germany Pavilion in Epcot had fun setting this one up, I’m sure! ;)

After dinner, Carrie, Nathan, and I went over to my most favorite holiday tradition ever- The Candlelight Processional! I was excited to see my friend Marshall (in the glasses) was singing in the show. :) Some of you guys may remember him from Return 2 Zero or Four for a Dollar. :)

Abigail Breslin (Or, “Abbie Bressie,” as we dubbed her after this night) was the celebrity narrator. It was amazing- I’ve never heard the story of Christmas told in such a nonchalant fashion.

Throughout the reading, she gave the audience the feeling that we were keeping her from something more important. I know she wasn’t doing any of this, but the whole time I felt like she was smacking her bubblegum, twirling her hair, and waiting for Billy to call and ask her to the prom.

When the singers were doing their thing, she had this complete zoned-out look on her face.

Don’t let this photo fool you- She’s only smiling ’cause she’s DONE! ;)

At one point, Nathan and I were guests at a wedding for the first time ever!!! See?

Our friends Rebecca and Joe got married. :)

Their reception was absolutely gorgeous in the American Adventure Rotunda at Epcot- Nate was itching to shoot the first dance, so I let him sneak in one photo. :)

One night we met up with Carrie and Patrick at a Disboards party in Hollywood Studios.

Santa was there, too!

Can you spot the hidden Mickey?

How ’bout now? It’s in the eye of the chicken. :)

They mean business. ;)

We bumped into my old friend, Tim! When we met, he was just starting work at WDW and I was just starting the 5th grade. *Tear.*

Woohoo! More to come tomorrow. :)

Julie + Christopher : Wedding

December 3, 2010 by Jensey 9 Comments

I’ve known Julie since middle school and was completely over the moon when she asked Nate and I to photograph her wedding- In the US Virgin Islands! Julie and Christopher and their 25 closest friends celebrated their wedding at the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef on St. Thomas.

If I had my own version of the Sound of Music‘s “My Favorite Things,” somehow wedding gowns with buttons down the back would be in the lyrics. :)

Julie made our job easy. ;)

FAVORITE! :)

We definitely had to be a little creative with how we shot their ceremony- The island photographer was there, and despite Julie repeatedly telling her she didn’t need her services, she showed up anyway!

It started to sprinkle just before the ceremony was over, so they wrapped things up in the gazebo:

My next favorite- Julie, I think this looks like a perfume ad or something! :)

Gotta love the view from their reception location!

Christopher’s parents tore up the dance floor! :)

There may have only been 8 people on the floor all night, but this was the “danciest” reception I’ve ever seen!!!!!

Christopher, I love you!

Julie and Christopher, we were so honored to capture your day! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your adventure. We love you guys- Happy almost anniversary! :)

US Virgin Islands : Travel

December 2, 2010 by Jensey 8 Comments

We’ve been fortunate enough to shoot not one, but two weddings in the US Virgin Islands in the past two years. Since our first trip for a wedding was before my blogging days, I’ve combined my favorite photos from both trips for this blog post. Enjoy! :)

Nate and I at Trunk Bay. :)

St. John was gorgeous.

Nate and I in St. Thomas for Julie and Christopher’s wedding. :)

Obligatory tripod + sunset shot. :)

I thought Florida lizards were bad- Over there, iguanas run the place! These things were as big as our dog! ;)

The St. Thomas airport is my favorite (location wise.) It’s always terrifying to land (it looks like you’re landing in the ocean, with the runway popping up at the last second!), but somehow getting out of the plane and seeing this makes it all ok. :)

Next up: Julie and Christopher’s St. Thomas USVI wedding! <3
