Abby + Jesse : Up Inspired Boardwalk Inn Wedding

by 1 Comment

Abby and Jesse met online years ago and communicated via long emails while Jesse was overseas with the Navy. They’ve endured another deployment, nursing school, and now wedding planning! The deeper Abby and Jesse got into planning a big wedding, the less like “them” it felt, so they planned to elope. They ended up doing a larger elopement at their favorite place with their core family, and I for one think it was absolutely perfect. <3

We didn’t meet Abby and Jesse until their wedding day, but immediately they welcomed us like family. I had no idea starting that day that we’d have such an easy relationship and end with bonding over how open adoption has touched our lives. I love this job so much for the people it brings into our lives, and these two are right up there.

They both got ready at the Contemporary which is a favorite, because you know you’re gonna have a good day when you wake up to this! :)

Love the shot of Abby’s shoes with that Mary Blair mural!! <3

Abby meeting her officiant, Renee Silverman, for the first time! :)

Princess moment. <3

I just love the processionals at Sea Breeze Point ceremonies!

They had the *sweetest* Ellie Badge ceremony for their #1 girl. <3

Post-cake-smash <3

After their wedding, we had some time to take relaxed portraits around the Boardwalk! :)

That one on the left? Faaaaaaaaaavorite!

With there Ellie Badges!! Abby and Jesse, thank you so so much for having us!! :)

Danielle + Chris : Cinderella Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Part I

by Leave a Comment

I could write the longest love letter to this couple, but to be completely honest, I just want to get these photos up asap. :)

I will say Danielle is the embodiment of a true Disney princess- Kind, loyal, gorgeous, and a truly sparkly personality, which is fitting, considering the wedding dress she chose! We loved our vendor team today, from Patricia LeJeune of LeJeune Artistry to Charles Miles dj-ing to Mary and Jamie of Key Moment Films. The whole day was absolutely perfect, and I cannot wait a single second more before sharing the most epic entrance photo ever- Thanks to Lumiere serenading their guests to “Be Our Guest” and a confetti cannon! <3

I had to. <3

I looooooved this moment! Chris snuck through the living room of Danielle’s suite to the bedroom with his eyes shut so Nate could shoot getting ready photos, and Danielle totally snuck a peek! :)

Her dad’s first look <3

This pin has made it around about a million Disney brides! :)

We were suuuuuuper bummed when the rain just didn’t let up for their first look, but cue photographer happy tears when Danielle was totally down with doing it under an umbrella! We’ve never done a first look here, and it was so special with the Wedding Pavilion in the background :)

My two favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rainy day first looks FTW! <3

This. Munchkin. Don’t forget to look for her in the next photo, too! ;)
