Tanya + Barlow : Orlando, Florida Wedding

March 18, 2017 by Jensey 1 Comment

Hey hey hey, it’s Tanya and Barlow’s blog preview daaaaay! <3

These guys are from New Orleans, and I love that they had an Orlando wedding during Mardi Gras! I was so excited to tell Tanya about my favorite store in New Orleans, Kawaii Nola (go check it out if you’re in the area!), and it turned out she’s already a frequent shopper!! It was such a fun thing to bond over on her wedding morning- My best girl Jennifer’s best friend is the owner. :)

Tanya first reached out to us September of 2015- It feels like a lifetime ago! These lovebirds met online, and my favorite story about them was that their first meeting was supposed to be a casual lunch, but turned into a 10 hour first date day! Their wedding day was so fun and colorful (and any wedding that includes a nod to to Small World is a winner in my book!) Laura Reynolds Artistry was on hand to make sure Tanya looked and felt her best, and the wedding planner was our pal Amy!

Tanya and Barlow, we’re thrilled to show you some favorites from your wedding day- We hope you love these photos as much as we loved taking them!!

After their first look, it was off to the Boardwalk for their ceremony!

Miss Chancey was a dream of a flower girl. :)

Then it was off to the California Grill for their wedding reception! :)

Loved their “guest book!”

Ended the night the best way we know how- Illuminations love! <3

Tanya and Barlow, thank you for the super fun day!!! :)

Destiny + Sebastian : Orlando Walt Disney World Wedding Photographer

Oh, these two. <3

Destiny and Sebastian were married right before Thanksgiving, which means I’m a bit delayed in getting these teaser photos out to them! Their wedding was all things beautiful and fairy tale, from their candlelit ceremony at Sea Breeze Point to their Epcot reception where two of Cinderella’s bluebirds were finishing up their wedding cake. (No, seriously! Keep scrolling down!)

One of my favorite photos of the day happened just after their first look, when we stepped outside their building for portraits. The lighting was stunning, and we happened to come across the Grand 1 yacht, where months prior, Sebastian proposed to Destiny. :)

When THIS is the view from your getting ready room, you know it’s gonna be a good day! :)

Destiny and Sebastian had already done their Magic Kingdom portrait session earlier in the week, so we didn’t do a first look. But this was the first time Destiny’s dad saw his daughter in her wedding dress. :)

Those Epcot receptions <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I told you I wasn’t lying about the bluebirds!! :)

The end!!! Destiny and Sebastian, we hope y’all love the photos as much as we loved making them!! :)

Ashley + Billy : Orlando, Florida Wedding Part I

November 1, 2016 by Jensey 5 Comments

These two. <3

Ashley and Billy literally met while on stage. They were improving, and from what I understand from the situation, Billy walked on stage and asked Ashley out. She said no, and the rest of the skit was him convincing her to go out with him. I don’t know how the skit ended, but obviously things worked out quite nicely off stage. ;)

These guys are so full of life and love, and I loved all the little touches they did to make their wedding day their own. <3

Ashley and Billy, we love your wedding so much I’m breaking it into two parts. Check back tomorrow for the rest. ;)
