Ashton + Nick : Disney Winter Wedding

December 18, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was a college meet-cute: one night during finals, Ashton needed a break from studying. She drove to a friend’s house at a nearby college, but she wasn’t the only one with that idea! Nick was there to escape studying, too. :)

One proposal in front of Walt Disney World’s Cinderella Castle later, and it was time to get to planning that dream wedding!

The emerald dresses and white flowers? Ashton nailed her winter wedding assignment! :)

Favorite. :)

Ashton and Nick, thank you for having us!!! :)

Jennifer + Bill : Halloween WDW Wedding

October 22, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

After dinner on their 4-year anniversary, Bill pretended to find something on the ground, getting down on one knee, and pulled out a ring box. Jennifer was overcome with complete shock and emotion!

Jennifer was so excited to plan their Disney wedding, but especially excited to share time with Bill at Disney, since it was only his 2nd time to visit. :)

We loved this Haunted Mansion-inspired wedding and I’m so excited to finally share it!

The tear <3

Maaaaybe the best costumes yet?!

Happy anniversary, lovebirds!! <3

Adrienne + Mike : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

October 8, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Adrienne and Mike met in college at St. John’s University. We shared a film class senior year, but I had already known Mike as “the guy that worked in the Mac lab.” They went separate ways after college and reconnected on Instagram. Adrienne got a puppy, Mike started to comment on every story she posted of him, and the rest is history!

Mike planned to propose in Walt Disney World before their first-ever Disney Cruise, but Hurricane Ian had other plans. After four canceled flights to Orlando, they made it down *just* in time to board the Fantasy. Plan B it was! Mike proposed in the Atrium stairs on their way to Palo (the fancy restaurant!) After their proposal, it wasn’t much of a stretch to see why they chose a Walt Disney World wedding and Disney Cruise Line honeymoon! :)

After spending most of her life dreaming of being a Disney bride, Adrienne stumbled upon the magic of Carrie Hayward’s wedding planning trip report and thus found our photos. From her first inquiry, she wrote, “I knew then I would not only be a Disney bride, but a Root Lifer,” and Nate and I melted and we were beyond honored she asked us to be her wedding photographer. <3
