jessica & curtis…what can i say about these two, and about their wedding? as i’ve said before, jessica is like a sister to me, and her family is practically my adoptive family, and i couldn’t have been more thrilled to not only take a wonderful vacation with them (my first cruise!) but more importantly, to be a part of the wedding of such a wonderful couple.

{let’s not talk about how long it took me to blog this wedding…i think it was a combination of factors – it was my best friend getting married, there were photos to sort through from multiple days, and on and on the list goes. but! i’m ready now! just be prepared for a pretty long post for these two…it was a 7 night cruise, after all.}

on one of our days at sea on the boat, we spent some time taking portraits of jess & curt so we wouldn’t have to spend so much time on the day of the wedding…and also so jess could wear another on of her wedding dresses (i believe the final count of wedding dresses brought on board was 4).

the day before the wedding, in between all of the trivia we played and food we at on board the ship, we had a quick rehearsal for the wedding in the room where their reception would be. i also want to take this moment to mention how wonderful all of the crew members were who helped with the wedding (the coordinator, pianist, servers, etc.) – they were just as awesome as the disney weddings team who work on dry land. 🙂

ah yes, the traditional “threatening of the groom on the eve of the wedding.” 😉

i think one of my favorite parts of the wedding day is arriving at wherever the bride is getting ready. no matter where it is or what’s going on, it’s always a great place to be.

juliana & glenn’s nerdy shakespeare center wedding {orlando wedding photographer}

orlando shakespeare center wedding

i’m trying to catch up on blogging…let’s start with juliana & glenn’s wedding…

juliana & glenn had such a personal wedding – every element was meaningful to them as a couple & to what they love to do. the whole day was beautiful, and wonderful, and nerdy, and i’m so glad they chose me to be there to capture it.

i was madly in love with all of the florals at this wedding. they were amaaaaaazing.

a triforce ring box & golden snitch bracelets for the bridesmaids? yes, please!

can you say goddess?

that’s the face of a bride seeing her groom for the first time on their wedding day. <3

it was definitely a very upbeat wedding. there was lots of laughing, that’s for sure. 🙂

married!

doing his husbandly duties! 😉

i think they were pretty happy with how the ballroom turned out 🙂

one of the many nerdy touches at juliana and glenn’s wedding was not only having themed tables (the dice on the left were at the dungeons and dragons table!), but that big ol’ d20 on the right. instead of clinking glasses to make the newlyweds kiss, guests had to roll the giant die – if they rolled above an 18, the newlyweds kissed. plus, they added a funny twist to keep people from trying too often…if you rolled a 1, you had to go kiss someone else at the reception!

if you’re a doctor who fan, you’ll probably recognize their guestbook. and their cake {below} was borderlands themed, with their custom made topper representing their most-played characters.

who doesn’t love a good themed drink? i never did find out what was in ‘this drink is a lie’…

juju & glenn – thank you for being so easygoing and fun to work with, and thank you for being proud to show off the things that are important to you two on your big day. you guys rock!
