Danielle + Chris : Cinderella Wedding at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Part I

August 2, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

I could write the longest love letter to this couple, but to be completely honest, I just want to get these photos up asap. :)

I will say Danielle is the embodiment of a true Disney princess- Kind, loyal, gorgeous, and a truly sparkly personality, which is fitting, considering the wedding dress she chose! We loved our vendor team today, from Patricia LeJeune of LeJeune Artistry to Charles Miles dj-ing to Mary and Jamie of Key Moment Films. The whole day was absolutely perfect, and I cannot wait a single second more before sharing the most epic entrance photo ever- Thanks to Lumiere serenading their guests to “Be Our Guest” and a confetti cannon! <3

I had to. <3

I looooooved this moment! Chris snuck through the living room of Danielle’s suite to the bedroom with his eyes shut so Nate could shoot getting ready photos, and Danielle totally snuck a peek! :)

Her dad’s first look <3

This pin has made it around about a million Disney brides! :)

We were suuuuuuper bummed when the rain just didn’t let up for their first look, but cue photographer happy tears when Danielle was totally down with doing it under an umbrella! We’ve never done a first look here, and it was so special with the Wedding Pavilion in the background :)

My two favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rainy day first looks FTW! <3

This. Munchkin. Don’t forget to look for her in the next photo, too! ;)

On to P A R T T W O !

Kearstin + Evan : Boca Raton Resort and Club and Royal Palm Yacht Club Wedding

July 30, 2018 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Kearstin and Evan had our first Boca Raton wedding! <3

Kearstin and my sister Amelia were sorority sisters at UCF! She and Evan were guests and bridal party members of some favorite past weddings, and I always look forward to an Adpi wedding. <3

The girls got ready at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, a Waldorf Astoria resort. I quickly fell for the dramatic architecture and pink hues, *especially* against Kearstin’s bridesmaid dresses. :)

My favorite part of this wedding day came at the end of the night: One of her sweet bridesmaids was saying goodnight to us and thanking us for being happy to work with. “You know when you have your first appointment with a new dentist and he comes in and after just a few seconds, you immediately know ohhhh, this is awkward. This isn’t gonna work at all. Well, you guys are *not* an awkward dentist.”

Thank you to everyone who worked this gorgeous day, especially Kearstin’s sister, Devin of Magnolia Event Co, who planned and designed her sister’s day!

When looking for a getting ready room, my ONE tip is find one with as much light as possible! The Boca Raton Resort and Club more than delivered. <3

Kearstin’s sister is a wedding planner and it was so fun to see her put so much love and work into making Kearstin’s day perfect. <3

Soon enough, it was off to the Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club for the wedding!! <3

Their ceremony sight opened up to the marina- So beautiful. :)

Peepie! <3

Evan’s youth pastor married them, and the ceremony was so sweet and personal.

This stud muffin totally stole the show. The only thing better than his blue eyes were his dance moves to “Single Ladies!”

Kearstin and Evan, thank you for being the sweetest, most photogenic couple! Let’s do it again!! <3

Chloe + Travis : Ocala Jockey Club Wedding

SO. MUCH. LOVE. FOR. THIS. WEDDING. <3

If you’ve been a blog reader for a while now, you may remember Chloe and her yellow dress! Well, that sunshine girl got married to her love, and I’m excited to share *that* chapter of their story today. <3

When Chloe was shadowing our past bride and favorite Root Lifer, Kim, to get veterinary experience when Kim was married. Chloe says she remembers being 18, looking through Kim’s wedding photos, and thinking, “I want them to photograph my wedding someday!”

She wrote us with that story a week after her engagement and ready to book. Talk about a photographer’s dream. <3

Chloe and Travis love the Gators, craft beer, horses, and their dog June… But now they have to add one more thing to that list- Chloe’s wedding gift from Travis, CASH PUPPY! <3
