FILED IN: adventures, Disney

A long while ago, Budget Fairy Tale had hosted a giveaway that included one of my photo shoots. When I reached out to Disney Bride Christine about winning the giveaway, I was thrilled to hear her ideas for her Disneyland Honeymoon Photos. She decided on a Mad Men inspired shoot at Disney California Adventure’s Carthay […]

I usually spend the majority of the day on my computer, so any chance to get out into the sunshine is a plus. I was really excited to be able to take a mini break to do some work at the park for the day and pay my wedding friends a visit. They let me […]

Disneyland Engagement Honeymoon Photography

I usually have a general idea of locations for Disneyland photo shoots, but I can’t plan with certainty until I meet the couple in person. Their personalities, colors, and outfits always play a part in where we end up taking photographs for the day. When I met with Dena and Steven for their Disneyland honeymoon […]

Disneyland Engagement Photo

Carolyn and Steve traveled all the way from Canada for their Disneyland Engagement Shoot, and I was so happy to be able to photograph them.  Disneyland holds a special place in Carolyn’s heart, so it only made sense for her to have an engagement shoot there. I love when people get dressed up for their […]

Disneyland Hotel Engagement Session

We had a little bit of a mix up when it came to Joy and Eric’s engagement shoot location, but sometimes-mix ups can lead to good things and better places! That’s how I felt when we decided to meet at the Disneyland Hotel instead of our original location. When we arrived, the scenery was gorgeous […]

Disneyland Engagement Photo

It was a blast photographing Sarah and Eddie for their engagement session at Disneyland. They love Disneyland and come here all the time with their families, so it was the perfect place for their engagement session. We had a great time playing around with lighting in California Adventure after the sun had set, and I […]

Disneyland Engagement

What’s not to love about Richard and Ariel? Ariel works at a zoo, which I think may be the coolest job on the planet ~ and Richard has traveled as far as Africa. When Ariel learned Richard was going to be traveling, she invited two stuffed penguins into their family, and gave one to Richard […]

Disneyland Family Photography

Disney and photography are a huge part of Carrie’s life.  She wanted some nice photos to reflect the fun their family has on their vacations, so she gave me a call and set things in motion. The cool thing was that Carrie’s family had actually never been to Disneyland before (they are much closer to […]
