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.”

Kayla + Idit | Villa Festa Wedding in Deland, FL

July 20, 2025 by Jensey 1 Comment

One of our favorite things about this job is that no matter how many weddings we photograph, there are still gems we haven’t discovered yet! Villa Festa in Deland was such a gem. Tucked away in Deland, this venue is perfect if you have a smaller guest list, an iffinity for huge moss trees, and like the feel of getting married in a cozy venue. Think cats on outdoor fountains, creeky doors, and textures galore.

Kayla and Idit fit this venue to a T! We loved getting to know these two and their sweet families. :)

My favorite part of this wedding? They had the best wedding favor idea I’ve seen!!!! Kayla and Idit are avid readers who love cuddling up with a good book. Kayla and her mother searched 2nd hand stores for months finding quirky coffee mugs that fit their personalities. Each guest took home a mug of their choosing and a bookmark with one of their favorite quotes. :)

Kayla and Idit, thank you for having us. Wedding vendor friends, thank you for making it such a fun one!!
