Catherine + Hank | Disney’s Wedding Pavilion + California Grill Reception

June 17, 2026 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Hank’s first visit to Walt Disney World was with Catherine. Catherine hadn’t been since she was younger, and loved being able to discover everything together. When they visited the Magic Kingdom, Hank proposed to Catherine in front of Cinderella Castle. Now they’re having a full circle moment coming back to the park for their wedding! :)
We asked Catherine what she was most looking forward to about their wedding. She said she was most excited to finally be married and sharing the wedding with their families… and eating everything Mickey-shaped! :)

Kym + Anthony : Orlando Paradise Cove Wedding

March 23, 2023 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It was one of those “when you know, you know” relationships from the very beginning. Kym and Anthony were together for two years before reaching out for their Disney wedding, and ended up booking Paradise Cove for their dream Central Florida wedding! Paradise Cove is one of those hidden gems of an Orlando wedding venue, complete with an on-site house to get ready, sandy ceremony under huge, mossy trees, a lake view (complete with speedboat entrance for your groom!), and reception just a few steps over under beautiful market lights. <3

Kym’s mother and step mom pinned special momentos to the inside of her wedding dress from her grandmothers no longer with them.

This first look with her dad and step dad just kiiiiiills me!!

Their ceremony was officiated by their friend who set them up, and I loved how personal it made their wedding!

Marrieddddddddddd!!

BEST.

Our first time working with this gem of a man, JW, in so so long!! <3

Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

July 19, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3
