Amy + Ben | Gaylord Palms Wedding in Orlando

August 21, 2025 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Admittedly this story is taken straight from Amy and Ben’s wedding website, because quite frankly, I couldn’t write it better myself!! :)

“Their story began aboard the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, where what started as an intergalactic adventure soon turned into a real-life romance. They were co-pilots in their professional world, navigating through daily tasks together to keep passengers happy. Even though they shared a mission, they couldn’t help but feel a growing connection.

One day, during some downtime at work, their conversation took a delightful turn toward adult beverages. Amy mentioned a curious drink called High Noons, sparking Ben‘s interest. Determined to find out more, Ben embarked on a quest to try them. That evening, as Ben enjoyed his newfound favorite, he couldn’t resist sharing the discovery with Amy through Facebook Messenger (noting that Ben had just recently added her on Facebook).

Their online conversations quickly grew into something deeper. Amy and Ben soon found the courage to exchange phone numbers, and more importantly, Ben asked Amy out on a date. Their first date was a movie night featuring one of Amy’s beloved classic series, Jurassic Park. The night was filled with laughter, shared excitement over dinosaurs, and a connection that felt truly special.”

Beth + Michael : Waldorf Astoria Orlando Wedding by Lisa Stoner Events

March 21, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

It was because of mutual friends and runDisney that Beth and Michael’s worlds collided and the rest was history!
Beth and Michael contacted a few months out from their wedding to see if we were available and we’d already closed our calendar for the year. But we heard their story and just couldn’t say no- We ended up photographing it with the understanding that we couldn’t edit their photos until 2019. I’m so happy it worked out because I look at this first photo and just can’t imagine not being at this wedding! :)
This was our first wedding at Orlando’s Waldorf Astoria Resort, and we’d love to thank this dream of a vendor team, especially our Lisa Poppins, for making it all possible!
