Disney Engagement Photographer
Caroline & Matt will be tying the knot this May at one of our favorite venues, Disney’s Wedding Pavilion! They booked a full photo & video collection with us for their wedding day which includes a complimentary 1-hour engagement session. I love it when my couples take advantage of this shoot because it’s our only opportunity to spend true quality time together before the wedding. This way we get to hang out in a relaxed environment, build rapport and practice being in front of the camera. It always helps to minimize any awkwardness on the big day because you already know exactly what to expect! It also helps me as your photographer to see how you interact together as a couple so I can guide you into the most genuine, authentic poses for you!
They very smartly planned their engagement session for the cooler months so that we could enjoy the lovely Florida winter weather. It was a beautifully overcast, breezy December day which is perfect for a photo shoot. They wanted a whimsical and romantic Disney vibe so we started at the main lobby of the Boardwalk Inn Resort. I showed them all of my favorite photo spots which include the iconic “vacation sensation” wall mural, Atlantic Dance Hall and Sea Breeze Point. We managed to make it all the way around the lake during out time together so we also got to explore the Lighthouse and Gazebo at the Yacht & Beach Club side.
Caroline was also able to book her hair and makeup trial with the amazingly talented Stacie Otto for the same day as their shoot. I always recommend booking the trial together with the engagement session when possible so that you can take advantage of already being dolled up. Most hair and makeup artists will accommodate switching the look a bit for the engagement photos afterwards so it’s definitley worth discussing with your artist.
They did such a great job with their wardrobe choice as I always recommend pastels and neutrals for shoots at this resort. Caroline’s soft floral patterned dress looked flawless against Matt’s light blue solid shirt and grey slacks. I typically suggest avoiding patterns that are too bold or colors that are too dark or heavy. It was an elevated look that still felt true to their personal style– just perfect!
I had an amazing time wandering around the Boardwalk with these two cuties and they did amazing following my posing directions. Don’t they look like professional models?! I’m so grateful that they trusted me enough to go for everything I asked them to do and the results I think speak for themselves. 😍 There was honestly WAY too many gorgeous images to choose from, so here are just a handful of my favorites from their romantic engagement session.
