Addison’s father Ben wanted to give her a gift of a Disney Grand Floridian photoshoot. She just got engaged to her love Peter! Both families were there from North Carolina to celebrate. We went all around the lavish Disney Resort hotel. So Victorian and elegant. And Addison had a Mickey Mouse-inspired engagement ring! Beautiful. Congratulations Addison and Peter!
Matthew wanted to propose to his girlfriend Carlie under the Tree of Life. We made a plan and waited for them at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – he really surprised her! They were both so happy and we were so excited to be able to capture these moments. Congratulations Matthew and Carlie! xo
We have SO much fun photographing proposals at Disney! So much love and happiness! Will had it all planned out to propose to lovely (and Ariel Princess-like) Brooke, and we were there to document the surprise. They are so sweet and Brooke was so surprised! Of course, she said yes 🙂
It all started when Will’s father called me to check on availability. Then a few phone calls back and forth with Will – “how does this all work?” We can always help you with the planning of your proposal! We know it can be confusing and overwhelming, especially coming in from out of state.
We decided to meet at the Cinderella Wishing Well, a perfect spot in the shadow of the castle. We knew what they were wearing and Will and I texted our whereabouts to each other. Finally, they came around the corner and Will got down on one knee. Brooke was so happy and stunned!
We made our way through Mainstreet, The Purple Wall, Cinderella Castle and Mickey’s Toontown. Will and Brooke were easy going and easy to photograph. We all had a great day!
Congratulations Brooke and Will! May all your wishes come true.
Alexandra and Sean are the sweetest couple! They came all the way from Ohio to Disney’s Magic Kingdom for a special engagement shoot! So happy they called us to be there.
Alexandra and I talked about outfits and I sent her a few ideas. (We are always available to help plan your engagement shoot!) I loved the beautiful red dress that she choose! It went perfectly with Disney backdrops and Mickey balloons. And her nails! Perfectly done to show off her new engagement ring.
I love to meet and start taking photos upstairs in the Main Street Train Station. It is always pretty quiet there, very few people and always has the best light. We then traveled down Main Street catching cool doorways, holding Mickey balloons and to Disney’s amazing candy store, the Main Street Confectionery. Alexandra and Sean had fun there, picking out their favorite Disney character on lollipops and looking for cute Disney mugs. One of my favorite photos I took is one of Disney candy maker employees acting silly. They are always great there!
Outside The Plaza Restaurant are bright yellow chairs and tables with cute umbrellas. Alexandra looked so cute there in her red dress, especially when she did a few twirls for the camera. Cinderella Castle in the background was a good backdrop as always.
Then we went over to the famous Purple Wall on the way to Tomorrowland. This spot has been a favorite of our clients for a long time, some people have never seen it or never knew it was there, so this is a fun one for great photos.
Finally of course, Cinderella Castle. Alexandra and Sean looked so cute playing, dancing and even a dance big dip right up front! Good move by Sean 🙂 Courtney and I had a lot of fun with these two. Congratulations!

Will and Lu-Lin came from Louisiana for their engagement shoot at the Magic Kingdom!
Aaron called me from New York to help him plan his proposal to his girl Samantha at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. We had fun going back and forth, making plans. Their beautiful story is best told by them so here it is xo:
Aaron: We met at a party my sister forced me to go to shortly after returning home from the army. I was being reasonably belligerent and I saw her and she shot daggers at me with her eyes and I said, “boy I’m glad I didn’t marry you!” Haha. She’s been with me on what’s been a 5-year recovery.
When we met I had no car, no job, no money, and a drug problem. One night I was at a get together at her mom’s and she came home from being out with friends and she sat down and I talked to her for 6 hours that night. Told her everything about who I was in honest truth and that was the beginning of the emotional connection.
She’s a caretaker; compassionate, kind, loves kids, a social worker. She’s a wonderful partner and exactly what I want in a mother for my children. Disney is her favorite place, and after all the hassle of trying to plan a local proposal and follow on dinner our families wanted, Disney world was a no-brainer. She took me for my first time new year 2015 but I think I took her for her most memorable trip 😉
Samantha: growing up, I always knew I wanted to be married. I am a very committed person when it comes to my relationships. I’m a giver. I am also very selective with who I show this side to.
When I got to know Aaron I immediately wanted to give him everything. no holding back, no restrictions. My love for him was immediately unconditional. I have always been content with the idea of spending every ounce of time I have with him.
At some points of our relationship, we questioned whether marriage was going to happen for us.
Never once doubting our love for each other.
That’s why I cried so hard when he proposed. This was a day that almost didn’t happen for us and it made me appreciate it a million times more.
Disney world is my favorite place. My family took vacations there every year when I was a kid. I continued to go there as an adult. Everyone that knows me, knows that I love it there.
I never imagined getting that kind of proposal. I am so blessed to be with someone as thoughtful as he is.
Aaron is also very compassionate and resilient. He makes me stop and appreciate the little details of life. He makes me laugh harder than anyone else can.
He makes me want to be the best version of myself, every day. He is my hero. Just when I think I couldn’t love this guy more…I do!
Monttez called me saying he wanted to propose to his girl Caitline at Disney’s Boardwalk, but had never been there, so it was hard for him to plan! I was able to help him make it all work for the surprise proposal – Caitline was so surprised and we had a lot of fun walking through the Boardwalk. Congratulations Monttez and Caitline!
From Caitline: Monttez and I met in high school on Facebook. Meeting people on Facebook back then was what our generation did. We started dating our junior year of college. Monttez has been and always will be the biggest blessing from God. As a young girl, I always prayed for a man to come sweep me up off my feet. He did just that, but all in God’s timing. I am honored that such a sweet, caring, and loving man chose me to be his wife. I cannot wait to see what life has in store for us, the soon to be Shackelford’s.
From Monttez: Caitline is amazing and truly a gift from God that I can’t thank him enough for. She is a blessing to me day in and day out. I love her patience, supportiveness, loyalty, and empathy. She is very inspirational and a delight to be around. I‘m thrilled to soon be able to call her my wife and go through life with her. I love her.
Big Disney fans, Meredith booked an engagement session there with us since that is where Brian Proposed! They came all the way from Ohio. Congratulations Meredith and Brian! And thanks for a really fun photo shoot xo
From Meredith: We met at work a few years ago and took our first Disney trip together in the fall of 2015. We both grew up going to Disney as kids, but it had been some time since my last visit and our first trip together. Brian enjoys Disney history, especially park history and the Imagineering process. Meredith grew up with a love for Disney art and animation. We love to experience the food and drinks at Disney the most and look forward to each time trying a new restaurant or two or three on property. Epcot has always been our favorite park. Favorite ride: (BRIAN) Splash Mountain (MEREDITH) Haunted MansionFavorite restaurant: (BRIAN) California Grill (MEREDITH) Tie between Tiffin’s and JikoWe are getting married at a Bourbon Distillery right outside of Cincinnati, Ohio that’s part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Even though we won’t be getting married at Disney, we will plan to add some fun Disney touches and character to the ceremony and reception. The most important part of our relationship is the ability to laugh and have fun at a moment’s notice. We love that we are not only best friends but partners in whatever we do and are excited for our wedding next year.
We can’t wait for James and Jacklyn’s DeLand wedding tomorrow! We had a quick chance to do a fun engagement shoot at the Magic Kingdom, one of their (and my) favorite places. Tomorrow is going to be a great day xo
I asked them what they love most about each other, from Jaclyn: I love his sense of humor and integrity. He says he loves my creativity and zeal.
