Alice : Six Month Photos at the Grand

by Leave a Comment

Alice, how are you already 6 months old?!

We photographed Alice’s parents’ wedding January of 2017, and in that time, they’ve created two beautiful little girls who are now our nieces. We had the extreme honor of babysitting Scarlett while we waited for her little sister to be born, and bringing her to the hospital soon after! I couldn’t believe it when Veronica told me it was time to schedule Alice’s 6 month portraits- Where has the time gone?!

This shoot was extra special because not only was it for our girl, but we also had the honor of photographing a very special wedding proposal this day! But more about that a little later. :)

Until then, Happy Unbirthday, darling Alice! We love you so!

Feels like yesterday we were shooting big sister Scarlett’s 6 month photos!!

  

How pretty is my bestie?!

Oh, the things Nate goes through to get some good smiles, lol!!

One hospital throwback photo of Alice just because I can! Part two of this special day is up next! <3

Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

by Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire: Pamela
Hair & Makeup: A Touch Of Fierce
Bride’s Dress Designer : David’s Bridal
Rentals: Chiavari chairs from Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals


We set our alarms for 4:30am for Katie’s day. This sunrise made the eye bags so worth it. <3

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3

Rachel + Rhys : Summer Wedding at Disney’s Sea Breeze Point

by 1 Comment

Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite meet cutes I’ve ever heard: Rachel hired Rhys to be her ski instructor for a week. Lessons turned to coffee, coffee turned to dinner, and before they knew it, they were in love. <3
Rhys proposed to Rachel where else?! On top of a snowy mountaintop! Rachel said she was *terrified* to drop the ring in the snow and lose it forever! But fear not- The ring made it home and Rachel planned her dream wedding across the pond in Walt Disney World. That’s right- They got engaged in the snow and married on one of the hottest summer days we’ve ever photographed! :)
Hair & Makeup : Beaute Speciale
Bridesmaids Dresses : Chi Chi London
Groom and Groomsmen Suits/Tuxes : Torre Royal Blue morning suit from Dobell

Their ceremony took place at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk! :)

Every ceremony should end with a pinky promise. <3

Rachel and Rhys, thank you for letting us be a part of your daaaay!! <3
