Mari + Kris : Luau Pointe Wedding at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

September 3, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Mari first contacted me on Instagram about possibly shooting a cake smash session for her daughter.
Her email thread to Nate is my favorite- Going from a potential cake smash session in May, to no- let’s do a family session in August! But let’s get wedding pricing info just in case. And then finally, hey- Let’s just do this wedding thing early- Are you free for that instead? ;)
I am *so* happy Mari and Kris found us and that Nate got to shoot the most lovely, intimate wedding at Luau Pointe at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. It was the first wedding we’d photographed there and just seeing the photos is (almost) enough to make this snowy-mountain-loving-girl consider throwing on a lei and having a vow renewal under this majestic tree!!

You know how much I loooooove when our couples get ready together!!

Love this photo Nate took of their daughter’s wedding day ensemble. <3

Getting their little ready! <3

Mari was channeling ALL the Moana vibes and I’m here for it!!

Ummm how to spot our ideal bride? Mari took a tiny stumble during her walk down the aisle and was allllll giggles about it! <3

Look. At. This. Venue. Y’all! <3

Looooove this family portrait!!! :)

Remember the scene in Moana with the Kakamora?! LOOK AT THEM ON THIS CAAAAAAKE!!!! AHHHHHH! <3 <3 <3

Mari and Kris, thank you for letting Nate be a part of your day!! He had so much fun!! :)

Lizzie + Dylan : Destination Wedding at Walt Disney World

July 28, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

Lizzie and Dylan have been together for 6 years but known each other since childhood. <3

One of my favorite things about their wedding day was Lizzie’s reception dress- She took her Mom’s wedding dress and completely altered it to make it her own for their reception! :)

My other favorite thing? This. View. <3


You know I love a bride in Minnie Mouse slippers! <3

If you look realllllly closely, you can see an itty bitty Cinderella Castle! :)




Always a happy day when these ponies show up with sunny skies! :)

Looooved Dylan’s reaction to Lizzie walking down the aisle!



There were tons of laughs during their personalized wedding vows- They ended up writing them so similar to each other’s!





I love a good Florida storm but can’t wait to not live in daily fear of our weddings being rained on! Love this one of Major Domo with the impending clouds. :)

 






Fact : When Mickey and Minnie show up at a reception and the line dwindles, I *may* take a quick second to video chat Ollie! :)

First wedding with The Git Up!


See that reception dress? Look at the original from her mother’s wedding day! :)


Lizzie and Dylan, it was an absolute honor!!! Thank you for having us!!!! :)

Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

July 19, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire: Pamela
Venue(s): Wedding Pavilion, followed by the Whitehall Ballroom & Patio
Videographer: Trinity Wedding Cinema
DJ: DJ JW Jaeger
Officiant: Reverend Kevin Knox
Hair & Makeup: A Touch Of Fierce
Floral: Disney Floral
Bride’s Dress Designer : David’s Bridal
Cake Designer: Disney Grand Floridian Bakery
Rentals: Chiavari chairs from Orlando Wedding & Party Rentals


We set our alarms for 4:30am for Katie’s day. This sunrise made the eye bags so worth it. <3

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3
