Katie + Jon : Epcot France Wedding

September 13, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Once Upon a Time, Katie and Jon met on Tinder. <3

So crazy but they’ve been together now over five years, and their love has only grown with their shared love of traveling and running! They’ve visited Iceland, Turkey, Paris, and even done Oktoberfest in Germany! If you’re a Disney fan, it shouldn’t surprise you that their shared loves of traveling and running also led them to a few runDisney races, too!

It was an absolute honor to document this day, which started verrrrrry early in Epcot’s France, where not a creature was stirring, not even a rat (the Remi ride was still closed!)

I’m about 99% sure this was the first official wedding in the new Remy’s Ratatouille area, and it is just so darn dreamy!

It was “Take your best friend to work day” when my Pamela made an appearance!! :)

Seeeeeeee <3

There’s something about that Epcot morning light, y’all <3

Off to their reception at Living Seas Salon!

No, you’re not seeing things!! Sometimes Kim swaps with me on extra long wedding days so I can go take care of Ollie! :)

Katie and Jon, it was magical!! Thank you for having us!! <3

Jennifer + Raphael : December Disney Wedding

December 15, 2021 by Jensey Leave a Comment

For the first time in years, Nate and I will be taking the last two weeks of December off. We’re moving into our forever home days before Christmas!!

SO with that being said, I’m trying to get some preview photos for everyone since we won’t have the rest of their photos done for another 4-6 weeks when we’re back in an office again! <3

First up? Jennifer and Raphael. <3

I don’t know where to start with these two except to say I think if I could clone a Root couple, this may just be the one I’d choose!

Our closest friends and family have heard about Raphael for the past 18 months from Oliver. Raph was so kind to give our fire truck-loving four year old a tour of Reedy Creek’s Fire Station and he has been in our daily conversations ever since. (Not a single ounce of exaggeration there!)

Jennifer is a true picture of beauty and patience- graciously rolling with every punch Covid took to her wedding plans. I think this was the third(?) date she booked with us and I was overjoyed for them that this one stuck. Between the perfect weather and Voices of Liberty singing holiday songs during their wedding reception, it’s hard to imagine this wedding *not* taking place in December!

Because they’ve waited faaaaar too long for some wedding photos, I’m not gonna make them wait anymore. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
