Julian : Downtown Winter Garden Family Portrait Session

November 7, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

THIS. KID.

Who would have known that when we photographed Justin and Lu’s wedding 8 years ago, today they’d be two of our favorite friends!! And make the most creative, adorable, spunky, unique little boy I’ve ever met!!! This is Julian, and it feels like yesterday we photographed his first birthday cake smash at his home in New York. Nate and I were thrilled they came to visit us this year before our life got turned upside down! :)

I. MEAN.

Julian loves rocks, Star Wars, and John Williams scores. <3

Seriously. Wasn’t this just yesterday, Lu?!?

Julian, Disney World misses you!! Come visit again soon!! :)

Brianna + Jeremy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Photographer

November has arrived here in Orlando, and it is GORGEOUS out! We’re extra excited for wedding days now because it means we get to spend time out of our office. :)

Brianna and Jeremy’s day was just lovely, and it flew by working with our favorites! Maxine was their wedding planner (woot woot!), and our pal Tyler of Beyond Videography was there to film it. These two met playing Minecraft and most of their guests are big gamers, so Nate felt right at home! ;)

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part II

November 2, 2016 by Jensey 1 Comment

Continued from Ashley and Billy’s wedding part ONE! <3

It’s a two-parter kinda wedding day, because 70+ photos are just too much for one post!

CEREMONY TIME! I love, love, love, love, LOVE that these guys walked down the aisle TOGETHER. This is what we would do. <3

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd who needs a candle ceremony or sand ceremony when you can have a peanut butter and jelly ceremony?! These guys made their sandwich while their officiant read out the reasons linking Billy to peanut butter and Ashley to jelly. <3

Plus, what bride wouldn’t go for a mid-ceremony snack?! <3

We were all confused when during group photos, the entire cast of Beaches and Cream came bearing sodas for the bride and groom!

Turns out Ashley and Billy request the same server, the sweet woman to the right of Billy, every time they eat at the restaurant. They went in for a meal before the wedding, and their server joked that she’ll be there! Sure enough, she came bearing friends, hugs, and their favorite- Vanilla Coke! <3

This was our first time ducking into the new AbracadaBar for photos. I can’t wait to go back for a drink!

I feel like we haven’t shot a wedding in the Atlantic Dance Hall in ages. What a perfect venue for these thespians! :)

During their first dance, they had scrolling photos from their childhood to now. <3

I love that they *both* had mom dances. <3

I haven’t even mentioned their love of penguins yet! Billy proposed in a penguin enclosure at the zoo (If I’m remembering right, there was a musical number involved…), and during the ceremony, their friend read aloud from Sandra Boynton’s Your Personal Penguin.
