Krystal + Ben : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on Castaway Cay Part I

August 13, 2013 by Jensey 6 Comments

So now that Nate and I have now photographed a couple Disneyland weddings, just a few Walt Disney World weddings, and one very special vow renewal at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii, it only seemed fitting that we shoot our first wedding on the Disney Cruise Line! Krystal and Ben’s wedding trip took place on the Dream, one of the newest in Disney’s impressive fleet. I loved this boat so hard and I’m already begging Nate for a repeat voyage- 3 days just wasn’t enough! :)

There was no shortage of photo opportunities, that’s for sure. I don’t think we’ve ever spent so long photographing a wedding dress! :)

This chair and Cinderella mosaic was one of the first things I saw when we boarded the Dream, and I immediately knew I wanted this shot! :)

I still don’t know how we managed to fit Krystal, her parents, four bridesmaids, and two photographers in this stateroom!

I love when a friend or family member of the bride and groom officiates the wedding ceremony. Krystal’s sweet step dad did a wonderful job.

Krystal + Ben : Disney Cruise Line Nassau Engagement Session

August 12, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

Krystal and Ben met ~five years ago at a small Christian college in Pittsburgh. Ben was a football player and Krystal a cheerleader. :) Ben’s family is from the west coast and Krystal’s is from the east coast. Since half of their guests would have to travel to a wedding regardless, Krystal and Ben decided to make it exciting and have a wedding on the Disney Cruise Line. I think they made the perfect decision, and it was so fun to document their adventure!

The day of their engagement session happened to also be Krystal’s birthday! And I just have to put it out there that Krystal is the one bride I’ve ever bonded with over mutual love for Mary Kate and Ashley’s Holiday in the Sun! It’s because of the movie she wanted to spend her birthday going to Atlantis, and I was totally jealous.

Krystal and I basically spent most of her session discussing how Holiday in the Sun is the most underrated film of our generation. Yep, I went there. ;)

Love all the color in Krystal’s dress! :)

We had to be back at the boat by a certain time so Krystal and Ben could go swim with dolphins, so we hoofed it to this awesome location Krystal found called the Queen’s Staircase.

Glad you found your “he’s what time it is,” Krystal. ;)
