I love everything and anything Disney so when Jackie contacted me about her Disneyland Wedding this fall, I was ecstatic! I’ve known Jackie for almost 10 years now and we were closest back in my early college years. She was an informal mentor to me and I always appreciated how she would look out for me when I was a knucklehead freshman who knew little about adult life and relationships. We also worked several summers together as teachers for Summerbridge. Being able to photograph her wedding is such an honor to me and I am always amazed at how God reconnects me to different people in my life.

So I thought I was an avid Disney fan, but then there are Jackie and Antonio who put me and my love for Disneyland to shame! They are season-pass holders and enjoy spending their free time roaming the Happiest Place on Earth. I knew going into this shoot that I would learn so much more about Disneyland and folks, I really thought I knew a lot beforehand. Y’know, the best places to eat, the easiest restrooms to access… all that good stuff. Adam and I sure did learn a lot from Jackie and Antonio from this trip. We had such a blast hanging out together!

Jackie and Antonio met at work. He was a student worker and got less and less work done while spending more and more time with Jackie. They caught the love of Disney from his sister (whom I hear is an even BIGGER fan than they are). Antonio proposed in front of Jackie’s family which just further reaffirms how important family is to both of their lives. They are such a fun couple together and their love of life and each other is contagious.

Can’t wait for your Disney Wedding this fall!
