Vanessa + Brian : Orlando Wedding Photographers

May 12, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

Haaaaaaaappy Mother’s Day, friends!!!

I (incredibly selfishly) love this day because I love seeing our brides and grooms sharing our photos of them with their parents on their wedding day! :) Today is *extra* special because it’s Ollie’s 2nd birthday, but I’ll share more about that later- Today is Vanessa and Brian’s wedding preview post. Which makes me immensely happy because Vanessa is an amazing Mama to her little, Ryder! <3

Thank you to our vendor team for making this such an amazing day! :)

Venues : Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and American Adventure Rotunda
Wedding Planner: Elizabeth
Officiant: Kevin Knox
Hair & Makeup: A Touch of Fierce
Videographer: Trinity Wedding Cinema
Dress: Allure Bridal from Town Shop Bridal in Poughkeepsie, NY
Bridesmaid Dresses: Kleinfeld Bridal

These photos were on Vanessa’s bouquet to remember her grandmother. She loved Disney and we learned she was quite the spitfire! <3Favorite shot of the day- Nate took this of Brian and Ryder’s shoes. <3 Vanessa and her girls got ready in a ballroom at the Yacht and Beach Club Convention Center. I looooooved this space, because there was plenty of room for her girls to spread out, but there was also this long hallway with gorgeous window light so we could pop out and shoot details, and even get Vanessa dressed! Father daughter first look. <3Not pictured : The utter confusion when Vanessa saw her wedding gift from Brian was a pair of Vans, lol! This was when she opened the box and saw they’d been hand painted with her favorite Disney things. <3 LOOK. AT. THIS. FAMILY. PHOTO. <3 Vanessa surprised her *Dad* with a ride in Cinderella’s Coach and his reaction was precious!Don’t let their small size fool you. ;) Off to the American Adventure Rotunda for their reception- My favorite space! <3 Vanessa’s choreographed dance to “My Girl” with her father gave me all the feels…But so did Brian’s dance with his mom to “You’ll Be in my Heart.” Vanessa, Brian, and Ryder- Thank you for having us along for the ride. And happy Mother’s Day, Vanessa!!! :)

Erin + Tom : Fairy Tale Wedding at Walt Disney World

May 3, 2019 by Jensey 1 Comment

They were set up by their mothers. <3

All part of the same circle of friends in Siesta Key, Erin and Tom’s moms planned for Erin to join Tom’s family on a VIP tour at Walt Disney World. Sparks flew immediately, and they spent their first evening together at Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tour watching Wishes… and subsequently staying up talking until 2am! I love that their wedding day brought this story full circle when they ended their day with a dessert party overlooking the Magic Kingdom fireworks. :)

Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup did her usual magical job. <3

Erin gifted Tom Mickey cufflinks! <3

You know it’s a good day when you start the morning with a view of your wedding venue. <3

I love these photos of Erin writing Tom her wedding day love note, but can we talk about those SLIPPERS?!

First look time! :) First with Dad…

… And then her girls! :)

I looooooved how their ballroom turned out! Jamie was their planner and she did such a phenomenal job! :)

First dance magic. :)

Erin and Tom were engaged on the Grand One Yacht, and we were able to sneak away for some photos there during the reception! :)

Choreographed father daughter dance! :)

Erin and Tom, thank you for lettings us be a part of your day!! We wish you all the magic in the world! :)

Ashley + Bradley : Cypress Grove Estate House Wedding in Orlando

March 14, 2016 by Jensey 3 Comments

I can’t think of a better wedding to feature in March than a gorgeous plantation wedding with more towering green trees than you can shake a stick at. Their wedding may have taken place in November, but everything about Ashley and Bradley’s wedding, colors included, make me think of spring. :)

These guys came to Orlando from Canada for their wedding, and instead of having a Disney wedding, they got married at the gorgeous Cypress Grove Estate House. Every time I’m there I wish we were there more often, it’s so beautifully southern and I love getting a “Tennessee” fix every now and then. Plus, Ashley loved it because it reminded her of Edward and Bella’s wedding venue in Twilight. ;)

This was our first wedding with RW Events, and Rachel was such a pleasure to work with! She kept things cool when nerves ran high and the day went off without a hitch. Reverend Kevin Knox performed the ceremony, and Kristin of Our DJ Rocks kept the dance floor packed. It really was such a wonderful day! :)

First look time!! :) Ashley and Brad saw each other before their ceremony and we were able to get their portraits and wedding party photos done in great light! The sun went down shortly after the wedding and we wouldn’t have had any time for these portraits otherwise.

You can take the girl out of Disney, but you can’t take the Disney out of the girl! :)
