Catherine + Hank | Disney’s Wedding Pavilion + California Grill Reception

June 17, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Hank’s first visit to Walt Disney World was with Catherine. Catherine hadn’t been since she was younger, and loved being able to discover everything together. When they visited the Magic Kingdom, Hank proposed to Catherine in front of Cinderella Castle. Now they’re having a full circle moment coming back to the park for their wedding! :)
We asked Catherine what she was most looking forward to about their wedding. She said she was most excited to finally be married and sharing the wedding with their families… and eating everything Mickey-shaped! :)

Prairie + Nick | Disney Grand Floridian Wedding

March 3, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Prairie was a nurse at a St. Louis children’s hospital with Nick’s sister, Katie. They were listening to a staff meeting and learning about a New Year’s event they were hosting in the city. When Katie found out Prairie didn’t have someone to go with, she said ‘You should go with my brother!’, and now here I am writing their wedding blog post!
Last December, Nick told Prairie he set up a spa day before a Christmas concert they were going to that night. He drove her to the hotel where the concert was supposed to be, but there was no concert; just a beautifully decorated hallway with giant Christmas trees… and Nick down on one knee. ✨

Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

March 10, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.

Gabrielle’s flower girl killed it in her role!!!!

I could barely shoot through my *own* tears watching Logan’s reaction to seeing Gabrielle for the first time!

Their reception was held at Disney’s Atlantic Dance Hall, a venue I haven’t photographed in aaaaaages and it felt so good to be back!

Gabby and Logan, thank you for having us!!! It was such a fun day!!!! :)
