Lynn & Mark’s Wedding at Disney World

Disney Grand Floridian | Disney Wedding Pavilion | Lake Buena Vista, Florida

As wedding photographers we are usually getting to witness couples at the beginning of their journey together. It’s exciting and you can see the entire future laid out in their eyes. So it’s rare for Nate and I to have the honor of documenting a love that has already been established, tested and come out true. Like gold refined in fire.

Mark and Lynn’s daughter contacted us because she and her siblings were helping to plan their parents’ wedding. Their parents had been together since 1993 and had always put off their wedding as life got in the way. But now it was their turn, their children were making sure of it! They chose Disney as their location after having a special trip there together. I am at a complete loss for words because remembering their wedding day brings me to tears of joy. I hope that Nate and I can have that same look in our eyes that Mark and Lynn have.

Through the growing up of their children, through the expansion of their family as their kids got married, to grand babies on the way, and even through a bout with cancer, Mark and Lynn’s relationship  has only grown stronger over the years.

Mark and Lynn, and family, thank you so much for inviting us along to witness this amazing celebration of love, family, and time. Nate and I are better for knowing all of you!

This was a family tradition. The old wive’s tale says that the direction the needle spins will predict the sex of your babies. She got 3 boys. They said that so far in their family it has never been wrong.

Lynn kept her dress a complete secret and told everyone she had gotten a red cocktail dress. This was the first moment anyone else saw it…

Lynn’s daughters were her bridesmaids. It was a family affair.

The theme of the wedding was “established since 1993″

He brought the rings in cinderella’s slipper. It was a surprise for Mark and Lynn.

Doesn’t this make you want to snuggle?

Mark welcomed and thanked everyone. He made everyone feel so completely welcome. What an amazing family!

Every detail was lovely. The cake matched their stationery perfectly.

A live band kept everyone dancing all night. And lounge areas flanking the dance floor allowed for resting tired feet. ;)

Thank you Audra for finding us and inviting us along on such a magical day!
