We really loved photographing Caitlin and Matt’s engagement session at The Magic Kingdom. They were so great together – I swear they did all these poses themselves without me saying a word! They laughed the whole time. Congratulations Caitlin and Matt! Here’s to your new lives together and thank you for asking us to be small part of it <3
From Caitlin:
A bit about us:We met through some friends about 2 months after I moved to Florida- completely random, just both being in the same place at the same time with mutual friends and we clicked right away. We had our first date a couple days later, bar hopping in downtown Orlando. After that we were pretty inseparable. We’ve been together for three and a half years now and have moved back and forth across the country twice together. I took Matt on a surprise cruise for his birthday in July and he decided to propose then. Always has to one up me… He took me to one of the top decks around sunset, it was REALLY windy and I kept complaining that my hair was getting messed up. He finally told me to shut up and got down on one knee. 🙂
Matt and I are each others best friends. He puts up with my crazy antics (and Disney obsession) and I put up with his car addiction. There’s so many things that I love about him and that I assume that he loves about me… We joke that we’re stuck with each other now and that’s that, but there’s really no one I’d rather be stuck with.
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.
Ace contacted us about photographing his proposal to beautiful Victoria at the Magic Kingdom. Many emails later, we were there, ready to capture the moment. He put together a fun scavenger hunt that included “find someone to take your photo,” which was Ace’s cue to get on one knee and propose. She said yes <3
From Victoria:
Pageantry has been a part of my life since I was 12 years old that got me interested in competing for Miss New Jersey USA. I always excelled in the sciences, which lead me into choosing biology as a major in college. I was in a relationship that lasted for 4 years, which did not end well. With the stress between my previous relationships I really wanted to find someone who had similar qualities like myself. One day my friend told me to try plenty of fish (POF) and maybe I can build some friendships or a good laugh to distract me from my recent break up. I was skeptic by the whole online dating not knowing that I will meet the love of my life. In less than 24 hours I received a message from Asaph. I was very skeptic about believing if this person was really the person he claimed he was or a fake profile. After being friends and hanging out with him I realized how genuine and kind he was. He encouraged me to go after my dreams when I thought I failed. He has seen every tear from failure, disappointment, and grief. I never thought I would find someone so similar like myself and God fearing. Magic kingdom has always been on my things to do list and I wanted to visit there with my boyfriend. This engagement has been so magical with high emotions of happiness and tears of joy that is still occurring till this day. I can truly say my dreams came true and I finally found my prince.
From Ace:
I am a Resident Physician currently training in General Surgery in Long Island, New York. However, I will be transitioning to Radiology residency in Manhattan, with the hopes of eventually practicing Interventional Radiology. I was born in Toronto Canada. I moved to the states with my family when I was 18 and ended up studying Biology and Competing as a track and field athlete at the University of Georgia. I went to Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and graduated in 2015 in the inaugural class. I used to date on and off but always ended up being more stressed out by my girlfriends than with my medical school studies. My friend convinced me I should try an app called Plenty of Fish to try and meet someone, and sure enough after about a day, I found and met Victoria on there during my third year of medical school. She actually was very supportive, loving, and caring. Not to mention she is gorgeous. I never thought I would find anyone who gets me the way she does. I can always count on her to encourage me and to be there when things don’t seem to be going my way, and vice versa. We were actually driving in the car one night and I got a call from Hilton Grand Vacations and they offered us the opportunity to stay at a Hilton resort in Orlando, Las Vegas, or New York. Victoria chose Orlando because she has always wanted to go to Disney. We booked the vacation almost a year in advance and I thought it would be a perfect time to propose. It also allowed me time to save up for the ring. It was kind of an impromptu vacation that resulted from a random telephone offer. I wanted her to have an experience at Disney that she would never forget.
