Mike and Sabrina: Disney World Wedding

I am lucky enough to be able to shoot a lot at Disneyland. After a shoot one day, I said to myself that I would love to shoot a wedding at Disney World. I like to write down my goals, I think that it makes them more real and attainable. This one though, I almost laughed at myself, it was so crazy to me to even want that, I live all the way across the country.

Along comes Mike and Sabrina, they found me on Instagram and hired me to shoot their engagement session at Disneyland. They were from Houston but were planning their wedding at Disney World. I absolutely LOVED our session going all over Disneyland and California (you can see that session HERE). At the end of their session, I said, “if you are looking for a photographer for your wedding…I would love to go out there.” Well, I guess the lesson here is, if you don’t ask for what you want, you definitely won’t get it. A couple of months later, they hired me to be their photographer for their wedding at Disney World!!! A complete dream for this Disney nerd.

Well, last month was the big day. It was even more amazing than I could have even dreamed! Everything! Mike and Sabrina, all of their family and friends were some of the sweetest, most fun people I have ever met. All of the vendors that I met and worked with were so nice and helpful. And the location was just out of this world! Here are some of my favorites from the day (yeah, there are a lot, but I couldn’t decide, this day was amazing!).

We started at the Grand Floridian. Since we were going to start the wedding day so early, we actually did all of the “detail” pictures the day before, so we could do them in natural light.

I have been able to shoot in so many amazing places (i.e. The White House), but this was, by far, the most amazing day for me, professionally and personally. I want to do it again and again and again! Friends! Take me to your Disney Wedding!
