Destiny + Sebastian : Orlando Walt Disney World Wedding Photographer

December 4, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Oh, these two. <3

Destiny and Sebastian were married right before Thanksgiving, which means I’m a bit delayed in getting these teaser photos out to them! Their wedding was all things beautiful and fairy tale, from their candlelit ceremony at Sea Breeze Point to their Epcot reception where two of Cinderella’s bluebirds were finishing up their wedding cake. (No, seriously! Keep scrolling down!)

One of my favorite photos of the day happened just after their first look, when we stepped outside their building for portraits. The lighting was stunning, and we happened to come across the Grand 1 yacht, where months prior, Sebastian proposed to Destiny. :)

When THIS is the view from your getting ready room, you know it’s gonna be a good day! :)

Destiny and Sebastian had already done their Magic Kingdom portrait session earlier in the week, so we didn’t do a first look. But this was the first time Destiny’s dad saw his daughter in her wedding dress. :)

Those Epcot receptions <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I told you I wasn’t lying about the bluebirds!! :)

The end!!! Destiny and Sebastian, we hope y’all love the photos as much as we loved making them!! :)

Katie + Dustin : Walt Disney World Engagement Session at the Boardwalk Inn Resort

February 13, 2014 by Jensey 4 Comments

It took flying overseas for an internship and a lucky turn of events ending with these two sharing an apartment for Katie and Dustin to end up together. Dustin proposed to Katie on Christmas, and Katie contacted us soon after to schedule engagement photos. Lucky for us, our January trips lined up and we were able to make something happen! :)

It’s a rare sight to see the gorgeous entrance to the Boardwalk Inn sans buses or taxis!

Morning light at the Boardwalk, you are officially my favorite. Let’s hang out more often, ok?

Katie’s one photo request- They have one just like it from London when they were dating. :)

Katie and Dustin, thanks for the wonderful time. Happy wedding planning!! <3

Amanda + Eric : Wedding

May 21, 2010 by Jensey 30 Comments

Amanda contacted us pretty last-minute to shoot her wedding day, and I’m so very happy she did. :) Amanda and I actually have a lot in common- A mutual love of stationery, we both did the Walt Disney World College Program… After friending her on Facebook, I even found out I was even friends with one of her wedding guests!

Amanda got ready at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, and I knew it was gonna be a great day when I saw her adorable wedding dress. :)

I loooooved the custom hangar! This is such a cute idea, because sometimes we’re stuck photographing this gorgeous gown on one of those dry-cleaner type hangars. If you’re interested in ordering one for yourself, click here to go to the Etsy page where Amanda got hers! (Pst- Lorie, you need one of these!!)

Eric wasn’t too keen on the first look idea at first, but has this to say now about the experience: “The First Look wasn’t something I wanted at first but am so glad we did. I would recommend that to anyone!! That special moment alone with my Bride was amazing. I was worried about not having ‘that’ moment when she came down the aisle, but I was so excited and we both cried the entire way down the aisle.” (Thank you, Disney Wedding Blog!)

Don’t they just look like best friends? I think they just fit each other perfectly! Amanda’s maid of honor is actually a wedding photographer up north. :)

One of my new favorite things is telling our more playful brides to twirl their dress. :)

FAVORITE. Amanda, you look timeless, elegant, and gorgeous!

One question I feel we get often is “Do you Photoshop the Castle to appear much larger than it actually is in the window of the Wedding Pavilion?” Heeeeeck, no! You see, when you stand up at the altar, the Castle is actually pretty tiny. Much more like the photo on the left to the naked eye. However, when we shoot it with our 70-200mm lens at 200mm, we’re able to compress the shot in such a way that we can see the Castle much larger. That’s also why when we’re shooting an engagement session at the Polynesian or the Grand Floridian, if our couples want a shot with Cinderella Castle in the background, we’ll shoot with the 70-200mm lens, as well. Does that make sense? Y’all should know by now we’re not crazy Photoshoppers. ;)

Amanda’s brother married them. :) In my opinion, that’s the best way to go! (Then again, we were married by our best friend, so I’m a bit biased!)

I love this series from the “kiss and cry” part of the day. :)

So, the one thing I didn’t mention yet in this post was how freaking COLD it was!! Their wedding was in March, during that freak cold streak we had. I felt terrible for them, but Amanda was amazing and never once complained about the weather. Amanda broke out this cute fur for a few shots… It actually belonged to her great grandmother, who Amanda now shares the same initials with. How cute is that? :)

Cute and completely un-prompted. :)

These two were so stinkin’ in love… Our favorite kind of couple! :)

You know I had to do my signature shot… ;)

Unfortunately since we’re not able to shoot events inside the four Walt Disney World parks, we weren’t able to capture the fun that went down at their reception. But lucky for them, their bff is a wedding photographer! ;) Amanda and Eric, you guys were so much fun to get to know! Keep in touch, and we hope to see you again! :)
