This past year has not been easy for 2021 high school and college graduates. As they officially turn the page on a crazy year of social distancing, face masks, and virtual everything, it is a perfect time for Senior Portrait Photography at Walt Disney World!
Brady and his family came all the way from California for his Disney Senior Portraits! Big Magic Kingdom fans, Brady and his parents travel to the parks often. We went to all his favorite spots starting with The Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain Railroad, and The Purple Wall. The most important place to take photos for Brady was, of course, Cinderella Castle with Walt and Micky in the background.
The phone call came first from Naim’s sister, asking for proposal information for her brother. They had an elaborate plan to take the New Jersey family to Disney’s Magic Kingdom for Naim to propose to his beautiful lady, Elina. The women in the family planned an all-girls trip to Walt Disney World for a few days. Elina had no idea that the rest of the family, including Naim, would be there too.
Courtney and I waited in front of Cinderella Castle for Naim’s sister to take photos. I asked them if they would like some pro photos, I could email them to her. “Sure!” Elina said. After a few shots, I asked Elina if she would also like photos of the whole family? She said, “No, it’s just us.” I said, “Well, what about all the people behind you?!”
At that point, the whole family walked up behind them, including Naim. Elina could not believe her eyes when she saw him there! Then a double surprise as she watched him get down on one knee and ask her to marry him! With lots of tears, Elina said YES! Such a fun couple and photoshoot! Congratulations Elina and Naim!
Kaylee has to be one of our sweetest and cutest brides-to-be! When Sean proposed to her at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Kaylee’s expressions were priceless. She was so happy! Sean brought her and lots of friends and family, all the way from Texas to help make this day very special for her. Congratulations Sean and Kaylee!
From Kaylee:
We met on the second day of high school my sophomore year during lunch when I offered him a go-go squeeze because the line was so long I didn’t want him to be hungry. He played baseball, was in the grade above me, and still had his post-summer tan from lifeguarding so he was basically it for me right then. Sean was so shy about liking me that I had to ask him for his number to get the ball rolling. Within those first two years, I had three surgeries, my house flooded twice, we both graduated high school, he started the process of becoming a firefighter, and I moved away for school. Through all of that we stayed together he was my foundation through all the hard stuff, laughed with me through the silly stuff, and we continued to grow with one another.
When I was 11 I was bit by a snake on my left ring finger and was really self-conscious about the scar that was left behind for a while. My surgeon was amazing though so I told myself it would really matter because the ring and the person would make up for it and they wouldn’t care about any scar it would be about us. Sean knows me so well and he planned everything so perfectly the ring, the people that were present, the place, and even having you guys there I couldn’t ask for a better proposal or a better man to spend the rest of my life with. I had a teacher in high school who told all his students not to be so involved in high school relationships because in the long run, it doesn’t work out. The day after Sean proposed I emailed him telling him we beat the odds, we are getting married. A few days later I heard back from him telling me he’s never been happier to be proven wrong.
I cannot be more excited to marry Sean, he is the person I look forward to telling everything to, he’s my best friend without him I have no idea where I would be but I know he helps me be the best version of myself always.
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!
