The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!

Jessie + Nicholas : Revisited

by 7 Comments

Before we get to the photos, I’d like to clarify something: We do not do photo shoots for couples inside the four Walt Disney World parks. Not because we don’t want to, but because only Walt Disney World photographers are allowed. We do, however, do shoots now and then with our close friends. ‘Cause we’re best friends, we’re just hanging out in the park with our cameras, and it’s not like they’re paying us or anything. Got it? Good. :D

Before I blog Nick and Jessie’s wedding day, I thought I’d revisit some favorites from their pre-engagement session from Spring ’08! We did a shoot with them around the Magic Kingdom. :) I hope the fact that we make all of our friends do photo shoots for us is a perk of the friendship, not an “Oh no, here they go again…” kind of thing! :/

Either way, if you’re a photographer with friends as pretty as this, you take advantage of it! :)

Jessie, this is the very moment you won me over for life. Just sayin’.

Nick and I met working in Fantasyland, so a spin on the teacups was a must! :)

Nick and Jessie surprised me by granting one of my biggest wishes- A tour of the Castle Suite in Cinderella Castle! Now I can die happy. <3

Castle Suite mirror shot! :)

Cutest. Couple. Ever. :)

We took a few more shots around Celebration before dinner. :)

Cassie + John : Wedding Part 2

by 9 Comments

Continued from Part One.

Every now and then in our Disney weddings, our couples have a moment in the ceremony when the best man is supposed to hand over the wedding rings, only to find they’re gone. At that moment, Major Domo shows up with the rings in hand to save the day. What I loved about Cassie’s wedding was that she worked with her wedding planner to create a completely new character to show up with the rings- Vera Tidey!

When we left off in the last post with the best man holding the empty ring box, Vera Tidy ran up and saved the day, feather duster and all. :)

She kindly interrupted the wedding, explaining she was a housekeeper at the Grand Floridian and found Cassie and John’s wedding rings under their best man’s bed. :)

She then proceeded to give him a hard time about other things, including having not proposed to his long time girl friend!

You can see Simply Cinematic’s video capture of the whole thing here! :)

Soon Vera left and it was back to business…

Some of the sweetest bridesmaids we’ve ever had (thank GOODNESS, because we spent the next 4 days with them!!)

It was absolutely freezing, but you’d never know it looking at Cassie smiling. :)

Photo time at “my” fountain. ;)

Yet another favorite. LOVE the flower in her hair!

Cassie, you were absolutely stunning! So timeless.

Some wedding crashers stopped by the breakfast afterward:

I wish all of our weddings served breakfast!! Or at least fed us Mickey waffles. ;)

I love when characters at our weddings really bond with the littlest guests! :)

Whenever our couples ask for recommendations on videographers, the first name we send is our buddy Rainer at Simply Cinematic! He shot along with us for Cassie and John’s big day, and you can see their highlight video here:
