justine & dan’s casa feliz wedding {orlando florida wedding photographer}

i’ve been lucky enough to know justine for many years – we met on facebook back in 2009 prior to our college program experience, and she is one of my favorite people i met during that time of my life. when she met dan through our other friend rhea, it was immediately obvious that they were perfect for each other. even though we don’t get to see these two nearly enough any time we do get to see them is fantastic. i was thrilled to spend their wedding day with them last year! <3

justine & dan chose to do a first look, which was perfect for their day! we got plenty of gorgeous portraits of just to two of them, plus we finished all of the bridal party & family portraits before the ceremony, meaning they got to enjoy cocktail hour with their guests! first looks are definitely a win-win situation.

casa feliz has so many gorgeous spots for portraits!

ceremony time! another mutual friend of ours, drew, officiated (we worked together at DINOSAUR! during my college program – yes, i did work at animal kingdom’s best attraction, and yes, it was an incredibly fun job!).

justine & dan collect a lot of disney memorabilia, and know a lot of fellow disney fanatics. some friends of theirs who are pin experts had custom wedding pins made for justine & dan and all of their guests, complete with justine & dan as ellie & carl from up, plus icons for walt disney world (where they met), disneyland (where dan proposed), and the disney cruise line (where they spent their honeymoon). it was such a sweet surprise!
