During a family trip to Disney when Janelle was young, she and her father happened to wander into an unlocked Wedding Pavilion. Janelle knew immediately that she wanted to be married there someday…

… and years later, *we* had the honor of watching that dream come true!

Janelle got ready at the Grand Floridian, where her butterflies were contagious! <3

Why hello! :)

First look with her dad, in the aisle of an empty Wedding Pavilion, where this whole dream began. <3

And finally the moment I was waiting for… Meeting SHREDDER!

Why yes, he *did* have cufflinks to match Dad!!

Inside each wedding program was a photo of Janelle as a kid in the Pavilion. <3

Check out part two here! :)

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!!!! :)
