Jessica + Erik : Epcot GM Lounge Wedding Reception

by 2 Comments

The more Nate gets booked out for solo weddings, the more I wonder what the heck does he need ME for?! I feel like he truly does the work of two photographers on days like this one!! I get so excited to see what he comes away with on days that I’m home with Ollie, and Jessica and Erik’s day just blew me away. <3

This first photo alone… I meeeeeeean!!! <3

The night before their wedding, Jessica and Erik had a dessert party to welcome their guests to their Disney wedding weekend!!

We definitely have our favorite pavilions when it comes to dessert parties, and UK Lochside has been top of the list since our very first Disney wedding. You just can’t beat this view. :)

Jessica’s first look with her dad. <3

Gosh this view and this sunset!!!

Stepped out from their ceremony and the Magic Kingdom fireworks were going off!!

We’ve had a ton of receptions at the GM Lounge in Epcot and I’m not at alllllll mad about it!!

Jessica and Eric, thank you for having Nate photograph your daaaay!!! <3

Gabrielle + Logan : Riviera + Grand Floridian + Boardwalk Inn Wedding

by 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!!!! :)

Elizabeth + Noah : Grand Floridian Holiday Wedding

by 1 Comment

Noah proposed to Elizabeth in 2020 in front of Cinderella Castle during a special moment with their family. She (obviously!) said yes, and let him know that because he set the bar so high, they needed to get married at Disney now! <3

We were so happy to be a part of it- this was actually our first wedding of 2022!! I thought I’d save it to post in December given that the holiday decorations were still up; Elizabeth and her bridesmaids fit so well with the elegant holiday decor, they could have passed for paid actors Disney brought in to add to the festive cheer! <3

Thank you to Elizabeth and Noah’s vendor team!! :)

This was our first wedding reception in this sweet space!! I loved the amazing light and while I wouldn’t wish for our late spring to early fall couples to use this space, I looooved it for this Florida winter event! :)

    

Elizabeth and Noah, this was such a special wedding to kick off an amazing year- thank you for having us!!!
