Kim + Mike : Orlando, Florida Anniversary Session

March 16, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Ohhhhh, our yearly sessions with these #rootlifers. <3

It’s hard to believe it’s almost been 5 years since these two were married! We photographed their engagement session at Ohio State, wedding at the Brevard Zoo, and anniversary sessions at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and then their home in Baltimore. Our travel hasn’t matched up for a shoot with them for a while, but we’re always so thankful for their patience and persistence to make something work! We finally were able to match schedules and photograph last year’s anniversary session around the Art of Animation resort. :)

I love that Kim “Disney Bounded” as Ariel for the second part of their session! :)

Kim and Mike, we love you more than you know! Can’t wait to see what fun our next shoot brings! :)

Ashley + Bradley : Cypress Grove Estate House Wedding in Orlando

March 14, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

I can’t think of a better wedding to feature in March than a gorgeous plantation wedding with more towering green trees than you can shake a stick at. Their wedding may have taken place in November, but everything about Ashley and Bradley’s wedding, colors included, make me think of spring. :)

These guys came to Orlando from Canada for their wedding, and instead of having a Disney wedding, they got married at the gorgeous Cypress Grove Estate House. Every time I’m there I wish we were there more often, it’s so beautifully southern and I love getting a “Tennessee” fix every now and then. Plus, Ashley loved it because it reminded her of Edward and Bella’s wedding venue in Twilight. ;)

This was our first wedding with RW Events, and Rachel was such a pleasure to work with! She kept things cool when nerves ran high and the day went off without a hitch. Reverend Kevin Knox performed the ceremony, and Kristin of Our DJ Rocks kept the dance floor packed. It really was such a wonderful day! :)

This. Venue. <3

First look time!! :) Ashley and Brad saw each other before their ceremony and we were able to get their portraits and wedding party photos done in great light! The sun went down shortly after the wedding and we wouldn’t have had any time for these portraits otherwise.

You can take the girl out of Disney, but you can’t take the Disney out of the girl! :)

Ashley, you were stuuuuuuuunning!!!

Ashley and Brad, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day! We wish you the very best! :)

Tanya + Tara : Orlando Florida Portrait Session

March 10, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Tanya and Tara were in the wedding party of one of my faaaaaaavorite weddings last year, one I sadly had to miss! Lindsey and Jackie gifted Tanya and Tara a mini-session with us in December. They have comically bad stories about photographers they’ve hired in the past. As much as we hate (ok, and *occasionally* enjoy) hearing these stories, I love when we’re the ones to break the bad photography luck streak! Tanya and Tara, thank you so much for meeting up with us last year. I hope it wasn’t too painful! ;)
