Charlie + Zach | Vintage Disney Wedding

October 23, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

If this isn’t the sweetest story :

“When Charlie and Zach were in their freshman year of high school, their English teacher assigned their class to write letters to their future self that he would give them when they graduated. He encouraged them to write about their current lives, who their friends were, their favorite class, and who they had a crush on. They both did the assignment and moved on, not dwelling too much on it for the next few years, until their graduation when they got their letters back. Four years later, when Zach opened his letter he was surprised to find that he wrote ‘I like Charlie because she and I have quite a bit in common and she is really cute.’ The funniest part was that they only started dating four months before he opened his letter. Because Charlie and Zach’s senior year of high school was overshadowed by concerns from the pandemic, the plans for their prom were uncertain and it was announced with short notice. Charlie wanted a date for prom, and she thought Zach was really cute (and she saw that he was making his own Mandalorian armor, which was super cool). She was extremely nervous to reach out to him, but when she did they scheduled a date, and a week later they were planning to go to prom together. They dated for the rest of their senior year and have been long-distance ever since.”

The best part of Charlie and Zach’s wedding day was that her wedding gown was made by her incredibly talented mother. Go check her out on Instagram here!

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
