Catherine + Richard : Intimate Wedding at Walt Disney World

by 4 Comments

Catherine and Richard were just the sweetest, and my favorite thing about their day was how close Catherine was to her family. Not only to her little sister, her flower girl, but Catherine’s mother was her maid of honor. So I’m holding out hope that one day Ollie will pick me to do the same, lol! :)

Always a good day when Stacey from Fairytale Hair and Makeup is on board! :)

This duo! <3 <3

How fun was Richard’s tie!!! <3

Just the sweetest sisters- Look how they even twirled the same!!! :)

Loved Richard’s emotion to seeing Catherine walk down the aisle. :)

Catherine’s mom looking on just gives me all the feels. And look at their matching dimples!! :)

MARRIED! :)

Catherine’s dad barely holding it together while dancing with his daughter. <3

Look at these Beauty and the Beast strawberries!!!!! :)

Catherine and Richard, it was an absolute honor!! <3

Amanda + Corey : Estate on the Halifax Wedding in Port Orange, FL

by 1 Comment

On the way to Amanda and Corey’s wedding, I looked them up on Facebook and saw that my sister was a mutual friend. We walked into Amanda’s cottage where she got ready, and I excitedly told her she knows Amelia! “Oh I know, I told y’all I’ve followed you from the beginning!” I said I thought that meant the beginning of their engagement, etc, and she pipes up, “Nope! From the very beginning of your business!”

I loved this sweet Celebration girl so very much!! Amanda was an absolute dream of a bride, willing to do anything for a good photo! I loved how smitten she and Corey were with each other, and I couldn’t have loved their wedding venue more! It was our first time shooting the Estate on the Halifax, and it felt like every turn had a photo spot more charming than the last.

Thank you so much to our vendor team for making this wedding such a good one!!

I loved the photos of their choreographed dance, but I think I loved the celebration photo when they were done even more!! :)

Loved their sweet parent dances <3

I *always* get choked up at private last dances!

Amanda and Corey, we love y’all and hope to get together again soon!!!! <3
