Rachael + Don : Boardwalk Inn Wedding and Contemporary Resort Reception

April 26, 2016 by Jensey 4 Comments

She’s a teacher, he’s in retail. They brought their family and friends from Vancouver Island to Orlando for their wedding, and brought some gorgeous weather with them!

There were so many things I loved about their wedding, the biggest being that Rachael’s only “theme” was happiness! The cheery yellow bridesmaid dresses, floral popping with color (I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sea Breeze Point so happy!), special guests of the rodent variety at their reception, and Magic Kingdom fireworks at the end of the night all brought this sweet dream of a wedding to life.

Only three days newly wed, meet Rachael and Don and enjoy my favorites from their wedding day! <3

Rachael and Don, thank you for the amazing day… Happy honeymoon and safe travels home! <3

Brittany + Jeff : Orlando Florida Engagement Session

Jeff actually inquired with us months ago about photographing his proposal to Brittney, and while I was bummed we couldn’t make it work out, we were thrilled when he contacted us later to photograph their engagement session. :) We are so excited for their Tampa wedding this summer! :) Until then, here are some photos of our time with them around Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. <3

Doesn’t he look like Jim from The Office?!

Brittany, you are gorgeous! <3

I love that they wore their school colors for their session! :)

Brittany and Jeff, we can’t wait to see you again in a few months!!! :)

Chrissy + Crit : Boardwalk Inn Wedding

April 20, 2016 by Jensey 8 Comments

What’s that? A full blog post just two days after our most recent wedding? Ok! <3

This fourth grade teacher and archivist met online. Crit’s first trip to Walt Disney World was with Chrissy, where he popped the question. What better place to get married than in this special place, turning their wedding into a big family vacation? :)

Everything about this day was perfect, from the freakishly-beautiful April weather (seriously, Orlando- This year has been amazing!) to Chrissy’s ensemble. I loved her lace sleeves and succulent bouquet, making her look so ethereal. They couldn’t have been sweeter or their families kinder; it was the most perfect day to kick off wedding season!

Ready to swoon? When it was Crit’s turn for his vows, he started by telling us his “favorite napkin story,” because who doesn’t have one of those, right? ;) Well, Crit was out to dinner with a friend shortly after he and Chrissy started dating, and was telling his friend about how smitten he was. His friend pushed a little further, asking flat-out if Crit thinks Chrissy is the girl he wants to marry. Crit said yes, and his friend pulled out a napkin and wrote :

9:37pm

9/17/2010

Crit decided he was going to marry Chrissy!

And then signed it. Crit kept that napkin for six years, knowing it could come in handy some day, particularly on his wedding day. Chrissy never even knew about the napkin until he pulled it out from his pocket. So. stinking. sweet. <3

Chrissy and Crit, it was an absolute honor. Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon!!! :)
