This incredible Disney wedding happened during one of the rainiest weekends in November. It was a perfect day with many unforgettable Disney moments ~ rain and all. I loved photographing it, with the help of Bobby as my second shooter! 🙂

The day began at the Disneyland Hotel. The couple had originally planned to exchange vows in the Rose Court Garden, complete with Cinderella’s Carriage. Because of the rain, the ceremony was moved indoors to the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion. It looked so beautiful on that day, with it’s soft florals, candles, lanterns, and glowing light.

When the rain paused just enough, we were thrilled to be able to capture a few portraits with the carriage.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued at Disney California Adventure Park, where the reception took place inside the Disney Theater (home to Disney Jr.). The guests were surprised with a flash mob moment and a show-stopping dance that set the tone for the night.

After the show, we were able to take a few portraits near the Pixar Pier sign, where the wet pavement created stunning reflections that added so much depth and romance to the images.
