Sarah + David : Celebration Engagement Session

November 19, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

We first met Sarah while working a wedding with Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons team. When I think of the perfect Disney cast member, Sarah immediately comes to mind; she’s hard working, energetic, and down-right wonderful to be around. We first met her fiance David earlier this year when we got to join the DFTW team at Celebration’s Posh Pooch Festival. Even though we were only around these two for an hour or so, it was pretty evident that a proposal wasn’t too far behind… I was down-right thrilled when Sarah inquired about doing an engagement session with us! I mean… Look at these two! <3

Photographing these two was as easy as if we were doing a session with Cinderella and Prince Charming themselves. They were so naturally cuddly with each other- We barely had to do any “coaching.”

I took this photo and felt a little Déjà vu…

… Yep. <3

We were so happy they brought along Teddy to be a part of their session! <3

Too. Many. Favorites!

I’m telling you, we’re just one towel and rope dress away from being that scene in The Little Mermaid! :)

FAVORITE. Sarah and David, I hope your wedding day is all that you wish for! <3

Nikki + Matt : Disney’s Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Boardwalk Inn’s Atlantic Dance Hall Reception

November 18, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

You may remember Nikki and Matt from their Disney Bounding engagement session I posted earlier this year! I’m excited to finally share Tink and Jiminy Cricket’s wedding day. <3

Matt and Nikki’s dessert party took place on their wedding day eve, and Matt booked us to photograph it without telling Nikki! She was totally surprised to see us and was thankfully ok with us crashing their party and stuffing our pockets with Mickey rice crispy treats on our way out. Nikki and Matt’s Illuminations dessert party was our first time photographing in Epcot since the outside photography ban lifted! It felt so, so good to be back. :)

We said our goodbyes to our lovely couple and unbenonst to Nikki, headed to the front of the park for one final surprise. See, when Matt and Nikki had just started dating, they “accidentally” bumped into each other in Epcot while on separate Disney vacations. They recreated an iconic photo of their youth, the one and only Cory Matthews kissing Topanga in front of Spaceship Earth. Matt and Nikki were going to recreate this photo with Nikki’s brother taking the picture, but surprise! Nate was there to take it instead. I hope we did it justice! :)

The next morning we were up bright and early for their big day! I brag about our couples all the time to our wedding vendor friends because clearly Root couples are best, but this is photo proof. Nikki and Matt remembered our website bios and had these surprises for us in their hotel mini fridge upon arrival. Swooooooon! <3

Nikki and Matt also are blog readers and took note on the post I did about the awesomeness of getting ready in connecting rooms (read it here!) Nate and I loved being able to just pop in to one room when the other had a down moment, and visa-versa.
