Deanna + Michael : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on the Disney Dream

July 20, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Destination weddings are always an adventure, but that increases 10 fold when it’s on a Disney Cruise.

We were thrilled when Deanna and Michael asked us to join them on board to document their wedding! This was our second wedding to shoot on the Disney Dream, the first being Krystal and Ben’s. Krystal’s ceremony took place on Castaway Cay, but this was to be our first wedding in the atrium of the Disney Dream. It was absolutely stunning!

The best part about this wedding were the people getting married. Deanna and Michael became quick friends, and their families welcomed us with open arms! Deanna’s family has cruised more times than they could count, and a large majority of their guests were friends they’ve made while on Disney cruises!

Nate and I were able to photograph their legal ceremony while the boat was docked at Cape Canaveral, and then shot their welcome party too. <3

Fact : I could photograph wedding details in the Roy Disney suite every day of the week and twice on Sunday. <3

These shoe photos!!! <3

Deanna, you were STUNNING.

Michael didn’t look so bad, either!

First look on Deck 4, my favorite!. <3

So. Many. Favorites. <3

FAVORITE. <3

Then it was off to the D Lounge for cake and champagne! <3

Yay!! Next up, photos from the rest of our cruise! :)

Absolutely, positively cannot think of a more perfect summer engagement session to share than this adorable couple’s!

Veronica and Greg’s first date was at Twistee Treat in Lake Buena Vista, AND it also happens to be where Greg proposed. Can we all agree there’s no sweeter story than that?! We’re so excited for their upcoming wedding, and loved getting to know them better taking photos around our old stomping grounds in Celebration. :)

Sooooo, without further ado, enjoy my favorites from this precious session! <3

SO many favorites, but this one’s way up there! :)

Then it was off to Twistee Treat! <3

Veronica and Greg, we’re counting down the days ’til your wedding!! Happy planning! <3

Tim + Mike : Lowes Royal Pacific Wedding at Red Coconut Reception at Universal City Walk

July 6, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Tim and Mike had been together for 9 years. They are truly one of the most loved couples we’ve ever had the chance to photograph, and their wedding was one I’ll never forget!! They are men after our own hearts, the kind of people who work very hard at their jobs but play even harder! They love live theater, traveling, and throwing epic Halloween parties for their friends. <3

We were so looking forward to this one, and the anticipation increased with every new detail we learned. Susan Southerland of Just Marry! was at the helm making sure everything went better than planned, and I so hope to shoot another wedding at Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal!
