stephanie & adam’s magical fairytale wedding {disney’s fairytale weddings photographer}

if you follow my blog, you’ll probably recognize steph & adam as the first couple i photographed in the wizarding world of harry potter, and they definitely started a trend – it’s one of my most requested locations for engagement shoots now! what can i say…these two are trendsetters. more importantly, they’re not afraid to show off their love for each other & the things they love (disney and harry potter being chief among them). when stephanie briefed me on the nerdy details they’d have at the wedding during their engagement session, i was thrilled – every time i work with a couple who wants to showcase their hobbies during their wedding, i feel a little bit more at home in the big, crazy world of wedding photography.

if you’re familiar with ‘dinseybounding,’ steph’s bridesmaid dresses might make a little bit more sense to you… 😉

yes, their rings did have a harry potter quote engraved in them. <3

disney floral knocked it out of the park, as always…and by the way, the bridesmaids carried wands instead of flowers!

i adore this shot from a quiet moment these two had after the ceremony as their planner was lining guests up for the bubble recessional…thanks to my second shooter karina for getting this fantastic shot (and the adorable one below, too) <3

after the guests headed to the reception, i got to take some photos of the newlyweds around the wedding pavilion – my first time taking photos in the famed arch! looking forward to shooting more couples there in the coming years 😉

once it got dark, it was off to join the guests at the grand floridian to party the night away…and steph & adam seriously know how to party!

sometimes i have to interrupt a blog post to share adorably mickey-shaped food. sorry!

after their last dance and a huuuge group hug on the dance floor, most of the guests headed to mizner’s lounge above the main lobby of the grand for a bit of an afterparty, and we snuck off to take a few more photos that steph requested…i thought they turned out way too cute not to share. <3
