We met Chelsea and Mich (pronounced like the first syllable of Michigan) for the first time during their engagement session on Monday! We arranged to meet in front of one of their favorite Disney Resorts, The Wilderness Lodge. Choosing one of the resorts was a great idea because it’s spring break this week, and the parks are PACKED. That means not only is it crowded, but all of the perfect picture spots are going to be busy so there will be a wait to use them, AND after waiting, there are still going to be a ton of park guests in the photos. Plus, it’s way more unique to do a session at one of Disney’s super themed-out resorts than one of the parks! We loved the idea, and Wilderness Lodge is our favorite Disney Resort too!
Chelsea and Mich were such a cute couple. Being in front of a camera can be awkward sometimes, but Chelsea and Mich were totally comfortable and natural. We’re pretty sure that when they were looking into each other’s eyes, they forgot we were even there. They were giggling non-stop (which we LOVE), and you can really see that they were having the time of their lives during their session. Engagement sessions are incredibly important to Amanda and me because not only do they help you get to know your photographer and get you comfortable with them and the camera, but because they are a celebration of your love and the journey you’ve embarked on together forever. Seeing Chelsea and Mich loving every moment of their session really filled our hearts with joy.
Chelsea and Mich both work for Disney as part of the Culinary team and actually met while working at The Wave located Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Knowing this, we had to make a trip over there to capture where their relationship all began. As the sun was setting, we got some incredible pictures of Chelsea and Mich with the monorail and Cinderella’s Castle in the background.
Congratulations Chelsea and Mich on your engagement! We wish you both all the happiness in the world! Thank you for allowing us to capture this moment in your wedding planning journey.
