Carrie and Patrick… Where do I even begin?

We knew going into the wedding that Carrie had quite the following on the DisBoards Wedding Forum. We knew because even before we’d photographed her wedding, we were getting inquiries for upcoming Disney weddings. While in today’s day and age, you make one wrong step at a wedding and it can be shared online for the world to see, this wedding brought a whole new pressure because Carrie already had an audience waiting to hear her review of us! I’ve still never read her wedding trip report, but I assume she was pretty happy with us- Not only because a huge portion of our bookings can be directed back to her in some way, but because she still brings us around to photograph moments in her and Patrick’s life! :)

Carrie is truly loved and adored by our brides. I’ll never forget doing a session with a bride who found us through Carrie, and she described Carrie as the “Patron Saint of Disney brides.” People are always stopping her in the park to say hello. When Disney brides meet us for the first time, it’s not uncommon for their first words to be “Is Carrie as amazing in person as she is online? Is Patrick just hilarious?!” Yes and you have no idea. :)

We hear all the time that Carrie is the reason so many of our couples get married at Walt Disney World- most often because she shows them that they can have incredibly unique and memorable weddings for under the US national average.

Six years after their wedding day, Nate and I are so lucky to call Carrie and Patrick our friends. It’s so crazy looking back at photos from their wedding day; between how we’ve changed our shooting style (you could make a drinking game out of how many times we tilted the camera at our early weddings!) and our editing style (I may have re-processed most of the photos in this post to reflect our style today), it was fun to see how far we’ve come photographically. I love that when we took these photos, we were shooting our first Disney wedding for a nice couple that booked us. Now? I see two dear friends on the happiest day of their lives. I don’t see photos of random guests, I see Sean and Victoria before they brought Buddy into the world. I see my friend looking absolutely stunning as a bride. I tear up at every photo of Carrie with her late father.

Carrie and Patrick, we love you. :)
