Prairie + Nick | Disney Grand Floridian Wedding

March 3, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Prairie was a nurse at a St. Louis children’s hospital with Nick’s sister, Katie. They were listening to a staff meeting and learning about a New Year’s event they were hosting in the city. When Katie found out Prairie didn’t have someone to go with, she said ‘You should go with my brother!’, and now here I am writing their wedding blog post!
Last December, Nick told Prairie he set up a spa day before a Christmas concert they were going to that night. He drove her to the hotel where the concert was supposed to be, but there was no concert; just a beautifully decorated hallway with giant Christmas trees… and Nick down on one knee. ✨

Betsy + Victor | Wedding Pavilion + Living Seas Salon

February 19, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Betsy and Victor first met back in 2003 through a mutual friend. Even though they both liked each other, the timing just wasn’t right. For years, they’d see each other every now and then through their mutual friend. It wasn’t until years later when Victor was planning a Disney Cruise and their friend got them back in touch with each other. Two cruises just as friends later, they realized how easy it was to be around each other. In 2023, twenty years after they first met, Betsy and Victor finally started dating. ✨
When it came time to propose, Victor literally spent months designing the perfect ring and proposed on their verandah the first night of a Disney Cruise. Everything was so thought out, down to the ring box being Pascal from Tangled.

Hope + Mark : Wedding in Descanso Gardens, La Cañada Flintridge, CA

February 3, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

If you’ve been following the blog the past 3 months, you probably know I’ve been digging through our archives and trying to get most of my blog backlogs up (I even had one from 2020- oof!)

Some of the ones I saved, I almost loved too much. I honestly don’t know if it was a matter of being intimidated to finally share, or I loved so much and by hitting “publish,” it meant we were officially done with the wedding. That was most definitely the case with Hope and Mark: my favorite wedding.

Nate and I have been a fan of Mark Willard’s Disney photography for yearsssss. I mean *years.* Anytime there’s a new show, parade, anything- I get so excited to see Mark Willard and Tom Bricker’s photos. I’m an absolute fan girl! So when Mark found love with a literal princess, I thought oh-em-gee, I cannot wait to see those wedding photos. Cue my compleeeeeete shock when Hope and Mark emailed asking us if we we were available for their wedding day.

I’ve only had this reaction a couple of times in our career, but I genuinely had the first reaction of “Does he have us confused with another photography team?”

After we moved past that, we giddily said “YES!” and then let the crippling anxiety take over the months leading to the wedding thinking don’t mess this up, don’t mess this up, don’t mess this up! Of course, this was just my experience it seems; Nate’s brain couldn’t be more different than mine! ✨

Hope and Mark’s wedding was one of those lightning in a bottle situations; the perfect couple, perfect lighting, venue, floral, families, vendors, everything. If I could duplicate a wedding this would be it; I’m their biggest fan and constantly wishing-hoping-praying for a someday vow renewal on one of their amazing adventures!

Willards, we love you so. It was the honor of a lifetime to be your photographers, and I’m so excited to finnnnnally share these favorites with the world!!
