Betsy + Victor | Wedding Pavilion + Living Seas Salon

February 19, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Betsy and Victor first met back in 2003 through a mutual friend. Even though they both liked each other, the timing just wasn’t right. For years, they’d see each other every now and then through their mutual friend. It wasn’t until years later when Victor was planning a Disney Cruise and their friend got them back in touch with each other. Two cruises just as friends later, they realized how easy it was to be around each other. In 2023, twenty years after they first met, Betsy and Victor finally started dating. ✨

When it came time to propose, Victor literally spent months designing the perfect ring and proposed on their verandah the first night of a Disney Cruise. Everything was so thought out, down to the ring box being Pascal from Tangled.

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

Not me and Cathryne Martell taking a pair of children’s scissors to the bottom of Adrienne’s dress because she kept tripping over it!

I love catching that “omg, I’m a Disney bride!” moment. :)

Ashley + Jeremy : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Part I

September 23, 2024 by Jensey 1 Comment

Ashley grew up in a Disney family always dreaming of a ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion when the monorail drove past. Jeremy may not be a Disney person, but he’s an Ashley person, so he was happy to help her dream come true. <3

You may remember from our post last week that Jeremy proposed at the Grand Floridian; Ashley thought she was going to dinner with a friend, but Jeremy popped out and surprised her with a ring- and her family! :)

Ashley was one of the most prepared brides we’ve ever had; she even brought in this beautiful, huge mirror for her getting ready photos. :)

Mother/ daughter goals right here. <3

The biggest surprise of the day? Ashley had no idea her parents booked her Cinderella’s Coach. The ponies started pulling up and Ashley sighed, “oh, they must be off to someone’s wedding.” I lovedddddd the moment she realized they were there for HER!
