Lindsay + Cody : The Preserve at Canyon Lake Wedding

August 23, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Lindsay and Cody as interns on the Disney College Program!! The very first day they went to the parks together, a character asked us if they were together. They burst out in nervous giggles; four years later, they were planning their wedding day!
Lindsay and Cody’s relationship was definitely put through it- once their internship was finished, they spent 3(!!!) years in a long distance relationship while they finished their degrees. They still found ways to vacation together, mutually falling in love with each other’s families. Before long, they were engaged, finally living together, and planning a Disney wedding…. until a pandemic came along.
With Disney weddings in a holding pattern for a few months, Lindsay and Cody ended up having an elopement in South Carolina and then moving their wedding date, and eventually the big celebration, to San Antonio. We were honored they still wanted us to be a part of the day and were thrilled to still photograph their celebration!!
It really was one of those days I couldn’t picture any other way. Lindsay found a DREAM of a wedding venue, The Preserve at Canyon Lake, that I wish I could scoop up and move to Central Florida. The house was so spacious and had the most glorious natural light, all sitting on a lake and surrounded by mature trees… it was almost like the venue was built by a photographer! Lindsay and Cody had a Hercules-inspired event with sweet touches from their invitations to their wedding cake, but my favorite was the floral. Their designer at Blume Haus Floral completely transformed the reception space to feel like I was walking into the garden where Megara sang “I Won’t Say I’m in Love.”
Lindsay and Cody, we love you both and hope to see you again soon!!!
Thank you to this phenomenal team for such a beautiful day!!

Katherine + Russ : Walt Disney World Wedding

August 1, 2022 by Jensey 3 Comments

Katherine and Russ originally dreamed of a wedding in Hawaii, but the pandemic made them re-think their plan. They ended up with a wedding weekend bringing guests into all four parks: A welcome dinner and safari ride at Animal Kingdom, ceremony at the Magic Kingdom, dinner at the Living Seas in Epcot followed by dancing and dessert at the American Adventure Rotunda, and last but certainly not least, a farewell dinner at Pizza Rizzo’s in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!!
Being outside photographers, we were able to capture everything except the ceremony at Magic Kingdom, but today I’m blogging their receptions in Epcot. Enjoy!! <3

Holly + Megan : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

July 29, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Holly and Megan met in college but quickly realized there was something more there. A house, a couple kittens, and oh, 18 years later, they reached out to us about photographing their wedding! Megan surprised Holly with a proposal on a private fireworks cruise a around Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon. Covid meant their original wedding date and plans had to shift a bit, but as we’ve learned the past two years, love is *very* patient and I think their day ended up just the way it was meant to be. <3

Following the theme of delayed timelines and backup plans for their wedding, Holly and Megan’s ceremony got moved from an outdoor location at the Polynesian to a covered patio at the Grand Floridian. It was an emotional call to make in the moment, but we were lucky enough to still get to take some portraits where the wedding would have been. And the rain backup meant they got to add another photo location, monorails and all!

Holly’s late mother was nearby all day with this sweet tribute in her bridal clutch. <3

They are both incredibly close with their brothers, so it was only right to have a special first look with them, too. <3

Their floral was so unique!! <3

I love when couples do a “ring warming” ceremony and pass them around for family and friends to hold and think good thoughts. Our pal Melissa at Disney Weddings made sure to help out the ring bearer! <3

PERFECT cake topper when you’re getting married after two decades of being together! :)

Holly and Megan got engaged while watching this fireworks show, so it was extra special to watch it again on their wedding night. <3

One of our most favorite venues- the Napa Room at California Grill <3

Holly and Megan, it was an absolute honor being a small part of your day!!! <3
