Anyone done AK Bridal Portrait Sesh?

[MeghanEmily]

DF is interested in an Animal Kingdom bridal portrait session, so we're considering it rather than MK. Has anyone else done this, either as your only portrait session, or in combination with MK? Anyone have examples of their photos to share? (We've checked the pinterest boards and whatnot, but there's very little in comparison to Magic Kingdom and Epcot...) How early in the morning did you arrive/leave, etc? Any pros/cons?

We did MK and AK. I love our AK session photos. We were supposed to be picked up at 5am for both parks but there was some miscommunication and they went to the wrong hotel first so I'm not sure what time you would be picked up. As for photos









That's all I have on my phone. We wet to Asia, Africa and the train station to Rafiki's Planet Watch or whatever it's called.

We just did a shoot in AK (followed by Epcot) a week and a half ago! I don't have any pictures yet, but it was a lot of fun! Our shoot started in AK at 7:30 AM, so we were picked up at our hotel at 7 AM. A few things about our shoot. The humidity was BONKERS in the park at that time already and my hair did not fair as well as I would have hoped, even with professional styling. We were able to pick the parts of the park we wanted photos in, so we did a bunch up toward Asia since we love that part of the park. Since you come in through the Africa area, if you want to venture away from that area, there is quite a bit of walking so be prepared for that and keep in mind walking from point to point eats into the hour you have for the shoot. I will share some photos once we get them back in a few weeks.

Thank you! Mike was our photographer... I'm 95% sure he's still with DFAP but it has been 6 years.

Thanks. I think so, too. I remember seeing his name on the page last time I checked and the style looks similar to his photos.

We finally got out AK portrait session pictures back! My wife and I both opted to not re-wear our wedding dresses for this shoot. Here are some of the images our photographer, Joe, captured.

I believe he is because I think he's the one who did our magic kingdom shoot last year
