Carolyn + Justin : Walt Disney World Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Carolyn and Justin met in Raleigh and had been together about 4 years before planning their wedding. It was Justin who encouraged Carolyn to consider having a Disney wedding! They visited for the first time together as a couple and were hooked. <3

I do feel like once you start to consider a Disney wedding, it’s hard to find an alternative! :)

One of my faaaaaaavorites!!

I looove the foggy feel of these photos around the Yacht and Beach Club!

Marriedddddddddd! <3

Is it a Disney wedding if you don’t serve Mickey waffles?!

These Nate dessert parties I tell you <3

Carolyn and Justin, thank you for having ussssss!! <3

Shelby + Michael : Tangled-Inspired GM Lounge Wedding

by Leave a Comment

Shelby and Michael met almost a decade ago at a college party. Shelby was told there would be a puppy… even though she ended up *not* meeting the puppy that night, she *did* meet her future husband, so we’re still gonna call that a win, right?

Since that first night, they happily spend several trips a year at Disney. When it came time to plan the wedding, there was no other option- Walt Disney World or bust! <3

Shelby is a professional pastry chef! <3

First look magic <3

Their ceremony was at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. <3

 

Shelby’s floral was inspired by the flowers in Rapunzel’s braid <3

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!! Be still my Tangled-loving heart! <3

GM Lounge FTW. How do we top this?! Obsessed with how light and airy this space felt with Shelby’s gold and white touches.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Shelby and Michael!! It was such a beautiful day!!

Vanessa + Timothy : DCL Wish Wedding!!

by 1 Comment

Vanessa and Timothy met freshmen year of high school in PE class. The first interaction? Timothy walked up to Vanessa and said, “I like your shoes.”

Despite that killer first line, they could not stand each other sophomore year; constantly poking fun at each other. Junior year, they started texting and actually enjoying each other’s company. Then they started dating! Vanessa converted Timothy to the Disney side… Fast forward to them planning a Disney wedding for their 10th anniversary! <3

They had one of the most amazing wedding celebrations I’ve seen, from a Grand Floridian wedding to portraits at Wizarding World in Universal (one of my bucket list dream photo locations!!) Nate was lucky to be a small part of their adventure by being brought onboard the Disney Wish to photograph their wedding! And Ollie and I were even *luckier* because we got to come along and make a little family vacation out of it. :)

We also had a first for us- since Vanessa and Timothy only hired Nate to shoot their onboard ceremony and knew Ollie and I were tagging along, they *insisted* we come to their wedding as guests!!! Ollie *still* talks about this, and anytime he sees us editing a wedding, he asks if it’s Vanessa and Timothy! He loved the fancy sparkly blue drink, watching them “put on jewelry and kiss” at the wedding, and it was one of the most fun memories for us as a family; he’s never been able to see us work and I loved showing him what we get to do!!

Omg wedding Ollie maaaaaay just be the best Ollie.

I know it’s not allllll about us, but Timothy peeking around to cheers Ollie just melllllllts meeeeee!!

I spent most of my time making sure he didn’t shout loud questions during the ceremony and helped him so he could eat and drink as cleanly as possible. He still may have spilled my glass of champagne down the front of my dress but this was really, truly a top 10 favorite memory for me!!

Then Nate took them around the Wish for portraits. <3

Waaaaay too many favorites, so more coming on part two! <3
