Michael brought Ellie to Walt Disney World all the way from London to propose to her! We tried to surprise her – but she figured it out pretty quickly. We had a fun photo shoot with Cinderella Castle and fireworks in the background. Michael had it all planned, first dinner at Victoria and Albert’s, then a proposal right before dessert. I got a few shots back at the famous Kitchen Table. Congratulations you two! xo
Amber and Cory are Disney fans and came all the way from Minnesota for fun and engagement photos! They also run the Disney marathon! I loved the email from her when she booked with us, “We are bursting at the seams with excitement!” Us too. These two are the sweetest.
From Cory:
Amber and I have known of each other for around 34 years, lol give or take, but our love, our relationship, our story and adventures didn’t begin until just over 4 years ago. As children we lived on the same block, just doors away from each other, but an age gap just kept our names familiar to each other through the years, until adulthood. We had a chance encounter at my previous employer that sparked enough curiosity for the two of use to investigate the possibilities. We are very, very thankful that we persevered through the highs and lows of the most amazing rollercoaster ride ever imagined because when our car finally got into the final straight away, we both knew we were ready to tighten up the seatbelt and not get out till the end of days. We found a best friend and true love in each other! We’ve had so many fun, wonderful adventures together already. We are currently filling our Paradise Falls jar for our next big adventure and cant wait to see where we land next!
Tommy called me from Seattle to ask us to photograph his Disney New Years proposal to his girlfriend Amanda. He had the whole night perfectly planned that included him on one knee in time for the fireworks over Cinderella Castle. All this took place on Disney’s Grand 1 Yacht! We had so much fun with these two and their friends that came along for the ride – Congratulations Tommy and Amanda! xo
From Tommy:
I was friends with Amanda’s older sister – we all played hide-n-seek and Amanda followed me into the closet. We have been together eight years, high school sweethearts. The first time I went to Disneyland, I loved it so much that I decided to go to Disney World. That is when I found out about Grand Floridian’s Grand Yacht 1 and decided to set the standard for how guys should treat their ladies. That is why I did a Facebook live – and got over 2000 views. Lot’s of people say that we are the power couple – we both work for Boeing and just got approved for a house. Amanda is loyal, sweet and caring. She is my first love.
The rain did not stop Nakiya and Eris from having a great engagement session last week! These Disney lovers are the nicest couple! We can not wait for their Disney Dream Cruise Wedding!
From Nakiya: Eris and I actually met online on a dating website. We had our first date at a movie and decided to make our second date the very next day! Fast forward, and we just celebrated our 3 year anniversary on a 4 night Disney Cruise to the Bahamas where we got engaged. We’re looking forward to planning our wedding on the ship the Disney Dream, where we got engaged. I am a huge Disney fan, which is why Eris chose to propose on the Disney Cruise. We travel to Disney World every year and have made so many special memories there so it only seems right to have a Disney wedding!
What I love most about Eris is his sense of humor and how we always have the time of our lives even when things don’t go as planned. Eris says that he loves my sense of adventure and determination. No matter what we’re doing we’re always laughing and having a good time.
Mike proposed to Erika and then had a surprise engagement shoot with us at Disney’s Magic Kingdom! We had so much fun and they are the sweetest couple. Lady Llewellyn from Cinderella’s Royal Court came in with some good marriage advice! Here’s to you Erika and Mike – we know that all your dreams will come true <3
We loved meeting Makayla and Steve for their engagement session last week. They are true Disney fans like us – and they met and used to work at Magic Kingdom! Spending time with them reminded us that “A dream is a wish your heart makes.” Thank you Malaya and Steve for including us in this magical day! xo If you are interested in a Magic Kingdom Engagement Photography session, please contact us today!
From Steve:We met on our very first day working at Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland. Everyday we grew closer, and built on a strong foundation of friendship. Over the course of our Disney College Programs you could find us together almost everyday, either in the Magic Kingdom, or watching How I Met Your Mother until late in the evening. At the end of our Disney College Programs we headed to the airport for a very difficult goodbye.
Makayla and I finally had to head back to our respective Universities (Penn State and the University of Utah) after an amazing 8 months of working together. After many hours on the phone, Skype, and FaceTime we realized we missed each other far too much, and that we needed to plan a vacation back to Walt Disney World. During that week we finally shared our true feelings with each other, and our amazing relationship began.
In the summer of 2016 I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be with Makayla, and her family. The summer we shared together proved to me why I loved her so much. The more time I spent with her the more certain I am that she is my soulmate.
We are now both graduated, happily engaged, and extremely excited for marriage. After living thousands of miles apart for so long Makayla and I are excited to be living in Orlando, the city we met in as we start our lives together.
