From Disney Internship to I Do | A Mountain View Wedding in Blue

A True Disney Fairytale Wedding

From Disney internship to I Do, for their Mountain View wedding in blue. Molly and Ross’s love story is straight out of a Disney movie. These two lovebirds met during their Disney internship, and from there, it has been a true fairytale. Living close to Disney World, they often spend time together at the happiest place on earth, with one of their favorite experiences being the magical fireworks at the park.

The couple chose to tie the knot at Chestnut Ridge, one of my favorite venues, and it was truly the best day! Their first look was one of the sweetest I’ve ever witnessed. Their joy was contagious, and it was heartwarming to watch them together.

Keeping things intimate, their wedding party consisted solely of their siblings – Molly’s twin, and Ross’s twin and brother. It’s worth noting that this year, I’ve observed a trend towards either no wedding party or very small wedding parties.

After their sweet first look, we had ample time to capture the wedding and family photos, along with a variety of couple shots. It was fantastic to have so much time for photography! Following the ceremony, the newlyweds were able to attend the majority of the cocktail hour – a lovely touch that allowed them to mingle with their guests.

The day was filled with a beautiful palette of blues, which you’ll see showcased in the photos below. Catering by Corey served a delightful plated dinner, and we managed to whisk Molly and Ross away for a quick adventure up the field to capture some breathtaking mountain views at Chestnut Ridge.

Post-dinner, the party kicked into high gear and didn’t stop! This crowd knew how to celebrate, and it was an absolute joy to photograph. The evening concluded with a bubble exit – another fun trend I’m seeing more of this year.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Enjoy your Hawaii honeymoon and your visit to the Disney resort there. Your love story is truly magical, and it was an honor to capture your special day.
