Lindsay + Cody : The Preserve at Canyon Lake Wedding

August 23, 2022 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They first met in Orlando, as interns on the Disney College Program!! The very first day they went to the parks together, a character asked us if they were together, and they burst out in nervous giggles. Four years later, they were planning their wedding day!
Lindsay and Cody’s relationship was definitely put through it- once their internship was finished, they spent 3(!!!) years in a long distance relationship while they finished their degrees. They still found ways to vacation together, mutually falling in love with each other’s families. Before long, they were engaged, finally living together, and planning a Disney wedding…. until a pandemic came along.
With Disney weddings in a holding pattern for a few months, Lindsay and Cody ended up having an elopement in South Carolina and then moving their wedding date, and eventually the big celebration, to San Antonio. We were honored they still wanted us to be a part of the day and were thrilled to still photograph their celebration!!
It really was one of those days I couldn’t picture any other way. Lindsay found a DREAM of a wedding venue, The Preserve at Canyon Lake, that I wish I could scoop up and move to Central Florida. The house was so spacious and had the most glorious natural light, all sitting on a lake and surrounded by mature trees… it was almost like the venue was built by a photographer! Lindsay and Cody had a Hercules-inspired event with sweet touches from their invitations to their wedding cake, but my favorite was the floral. Their designer at Blume Haus Floral completely transformed the reception space to feel like I was walking into the garden where Megara sang “I Won’t Say I’m in Love.”
Lindsay and Cody, we love you both and hope to see you again soon!!!
Thank you to this phenomenal team for such a beautiful day!!

Stephanie + MJ : Disney Wedding in Orlando, Florida

February 22, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They met fall of 2015 at a charity fundraiser for a mutual friend. MJ was photographing the event but couldn’t help but notice Stephanie and her piercing blue eyes, and as the story has it, Stephanie couldn’t help but watch MJ hard at work. <3
When they finally got to spend time together (they lived in different states!), Stephanie and MJ felt like they’d known each other forever. It was love almost instantly, and MJ proposed the following year during a game night at home. MJ worked her proposal into a trivia game- Stephanie was so focused on answering the fake question that MJ had to ask her twice before she realized MJ was proposing!!
Disney is a really big part of their family. Stephanie, her father, and her daughter Kendall used to go to Disney all the time with just the 3 of them. It was beyond special to MJ when she was first invited along, so there was no more special place to have their wedding than Walt Disney World. <3
Stephanie and MJ, we can’t thank you enough for letting us follow along- Enjoy your preview!!

Jamie + Vince : Disney Wedding at the Wedding Pavilion and American Adventure Rotunda

March 4, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Jamie and Vince. <3

We knew there wouldn’t much light after their sunset ceremony for portraits, and we knew they didn’t want a first look. It was the first time in a while that a timeline has made me so nervous, and praying to the weather Gods to at least give us a clear night! Our prayers were answered and their wedding evening was absolutely perfect. :)


This dressss! It even had a skirt that Jamie tied on for the ceremony to make the silhouette a little more traditional ballgown, and then she was able to take it off before the reception and have a completely different look!

Jamie’s gift to Vince for him to share with his groomsmen. <3

Disney couples pay attention! Connecting rooms mean more photo time because Nate and I can just float between the two rooms. And we can get cute getting ready photos like this! <3

Jamie’s bridesmaids seeing her in her dress for the first time! :)

I mean just look at that smize while coming over the bridge! Be still my photographer heart! <3
 

 
Then it was on to our second home last year- The American Adventure Rotunda! <3

Jamie and Vince, thank you for having us and for one of my favorite Root selfies ever!! <3
