Emily + Matt : Harriet Himmel Theatre Wedding in West Palm Beach, Florida

July 7, 2014 by Jensey 1 Comment

This is Emily, my little sister’s best friend’s big sister. Got it?

We first met Emily and Matt at Cata and Ryan’s wedding, were we took this photo. :) And then we met up for a nearly rained out engagement session around Winter Park’s Rollins College campus, where you can see photos here!

Emily and Matt got ready at the luxurious Colony Palm Beach.

Matt gave Emily ~3 cards on their wedding day, starting with the funny one and ending with, well, this one. :)

Choo choo! :)

I love all three of these women! Stephanie, Emily’s little sister on the right, is just as silly as she is sweet. Emily is classy and kind, and just the teacher I’d want for my someday kids! It’s no surprise that I also loved the woman who raised them the second I met their mom. :) This whole dressing series is my favorite!

Love a good sister photo. :)

On to West Palm Beach’s Harriet Himmel Theater, one of the coolest wedding venues we’ve seen. :)

I spy with my little eye… :)

Emily is as in love with her nephew as I am with mine– With that face, who could blame her?!

While they flipped the ceremony room for the reception, the cocktail hour took place upstairs.

Ta-daaaa!

Emily is our bagillionth Alpha Delta Pi bride, and I think this photo perfectly depicts the “angry fists” part of their sorority song that happens at every ADPi wedding. :)

While their guests got ready for the sparkler exit, Emily and Matt had a private last dance before the night was over. This was Nate’s view-

And mine. :)

Emily and Matt, I hope you know how much we love y’all! Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!! :)

Violet + Eli : Disney Grand Floridian Family Session at Walt Disney World

July 2, 2014 by Jensey 2 Comments

I know, I know, I shouldn’t have favorites.

But these two just melt me. Cynthia and Shane were one of our very first Walt Disney World wedding couples! They were married back in 2008 (which you can read on our old blog here!), and a couple years later, we met them in Celebration for a session with their daughter Violet, who just turned one. Look at her today!! <3

Not to be out-shined, of course, by her spunky little brother, Eli! <3

This was Violet 3(ish) years ago…

… And NOW! :)

Nate winning Eli over with his dance moves!

LOVE. THIS. FAMILY.

Funny story about Eli: Just like 99% of the kids we photograph, Eli really took to Nate. In the middle of the session, Cynthia told him, “Quick! Look at Miss Jensey!” and then, “Ok! Now where’s Mr. Nate?” Eli looked at her and shouted, “NO! That’s Miss Bobbi!” Cynthia corrected my name to him, and then he insisted, “NO! (Points to Nate) Miss Bobbi!” And from then on, we all lovingly referred to Nate as “Miss Bobbi.” :)

Cynthia is such a fun mommy, whether breaking into song with the kiddos or really getting them to ham it up for our cameras! :)

We shot this session last October and I just about melted seeing this family headed out to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! <3

My view and Nate’s. :)

My 100% favorite. Violet, you’re amazing. :)

More faces of Eli! <3

Cynthia, Shane, Violet, and Eli, I so hope you know how much we adore you all!!! Until next time! <3

Meet Violet in Celebration! :)
