Abby + Brendan | Boardwalk and Living Seas Disney Wedding

October 1, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Abby met Brendan at the University of Pittsburgh Library. Like a scene from a romantic comedy, Abby couldn’t get the printer to work, when suave Brendan came to the rescue. “I can fix that, I’m a rocket scientist!” (Brendan studied rockets in grad school.)

Or… at least that’s the story Abby told her friends when she actually met the love of her life on Tinder!

Their first date (ironically at a Pittsburgh bar named “The Library”) lasted six hours!! The following week brought three more dates. Then came Ellie May and Jethro, their cocker spaniels. It was on a trip to Aulani, in matching Star Wars Hawaiian shirts, when Brendan popped the question!!

I loved the ways Abby and Brendan included the pups!!

Abby and Brendan, tell us when it’s time for the vow renewalllllll!!! <3

Kaitlyn + Michael | Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

September 25, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, Kaitlyn and Michael met in high school while working together at Kaitlyn’s uncle’s restaurant! 5 years later, Michael asked Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend on the 4th of July, so fireworks are extra special to them as a couple.

After a proposal at Virginia Beach (think huge “MARRY ME” letters and flowers in front of the ocean), Michael was happy to follow along with Kaitlyn’s dream Disney wedding! They even brought their moms to Walt Disney World to tour their dream venues. We were so excited for this one- they were married in Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, had their cocktail hour in Italy Isola, and danced the night away at the American Adventure Rotunda!

My favorite part about sharing weddings from years past- seeing sweet faces we miss working with!! Hi Charlotte!!

Off to the American Adventure Rotunda!!

Kaitlyn and Michael had their wedding party compete for who would have the best intro. I believe these guys came into “Gaston” and this bridesmaid kicked his butt:
