Joe and Jennifer's DCL Vow Renewal PJ/TR~ CEREMONY FINALLY!!!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Outside photographers are not allowed in the parks at all. and the Bridal Shoots with Disney Photographic Services are not at all like the PP people. They guys use the high end cameras and you can get big professional wall portraits from the shoot.

Did you ask what they shoot with? I'm curious to know. Even if you get married at Disney they won't let you bring your own person? (Well, I know of someone who married at the wedding pavilion and they brought in their own photographer. That was about 2 years ago) What will be included in your package? With PP the best print size you can get is an 11 x 14. Do you get to choose your country? How does it work?

the wedding pavillion and resort locations for weddings don't count....those you can still use your own photographer. But from contracts signed from October of last year onward, if you are in the park whether it be the wedding, reception or dessert party, you must use Disney's photographer.

I believe you can go all the way up to a 20x16 wall portrait. I have no idea what kind of camera they use.....i wouldn't know what it meant if they told me anyway.

You can choose your own country, you get to pick 2. Normally they recommend Italy and another country. You get a proof book, 4x6 prints of all shots, then an album of 12 4x6 prints.

Here's the website....you can see these are totally different from the Photopass shoots.

I've seen several of the photographers all using Nikons, which is what we use in our studio. The pp people have D80's and 90's which are 10 and 12 mega pixels. I can blow my pics up to 20x30 - poster size - and even bigger without losing any quality. The only professionals I've seen around in Disney shoot on D200 and D3 - which are larger format Nikon cameras that have a really high resolution. I'm sure there are others that use more types. I think the D3 has like 24 mega pixels.

Do you think if I bring my camera, that the photographer will snap a couple of shots with it? I have seen them do this for engagement photos.

I think that would depend on the photographer and your kind of camera. I would think a cheap-o point and shoot camera would be ok...but if you bring the big telephoto lens type camera....he's gonna now you're trying to get out of paying +$100 for a big photo and may not do it.

Oh okay. Italy is gorgeous! I wonder if anyone has ever picked America. LOL Can you not buy a disc of your pics? I'm going to go look at the website.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Did they email you a price list? If so will you forward it to me?

 

[29apr00]

I dont' have a price list but from looking at other bride's pics, i think i remember them being as expensive as everything else at Disney. The disc is $1000

Whoa! I do a beach portrait disc...10 photos of their choice for $149. People always buy more but that price brings them in. I'd rather do a disc anyday and let them deal with the prints. Saves me a lot of time and I end up making just as much off the disc. I looked and yeah....this isn't photopass. I meant to tell you...I read the story on how you guys met but I was disappointed to see the wedding/honeymoon pics not there anymore. Sidney and I had a similar whirlwind romance. I can't really describe it here on the Dis but you know what I mean...

 

[29apr00]

yeah i rearranged Photobucket, but can't see it at work anyway. I'll try and remember to go back and fix it later this weekend

Tomorrow (wednesday) is our 9th anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long, but at the same time.... it seems so short! How can it be both? We had a big weekend planned for a trip to a B&B up at Lake MIchigan,....and cancelled at the last minute in favor of spending the money on ourselves! Dh got a fishing pole, i bought my Epcot bouquet.

I made this for our anniversary....it's a HOT TUB!!

We went to Olive Garden for dinner tonight, kind of a spur of the moment decision. OMG one of the best meals in a long time! I got the new chicken lasagne stuff!! It was really really good!! Dh enjoyed his meal too, which is saying alot. It takes a lot for him to offer praise to something. Then since it was our anniversary he and Jackie split some Chocote mountaain brownie thing and Joey and I got the new Zeppolina donuts. oh I could eat those every day for the rest of my life! They were HEAVENLY!!! Again, even dh liked them! I want some more!!

Anyway, now that i have officially stuffed myself again.......

went to Macy's this weekend and did finally find some pants for Dh. Good price too, $30!! And with the TB shirt we got from Betsy, DH is taken care of!! We need to find him some shoes which may be the hardest part as DH is worse about shoes than a woman! And now i need to match an outfit for Joey. I think the shirt is going to be the hardest.....everything is WHITE and we need Ivory. Wish TB made little boy shirts!

Booked Beaute Speciale for my hair and makeup for Epcot shoot. My shoot is at 730am and I booked her at 6am, because i didnt' want to pay the extra $50 early morning fee. I don't think it will take too long for only me and my hair.. plus it won't take me too long to get dressed.....assuming my kids stay asleep!


let's see what else.....got the epcot bouquet...i just need to decide if i want pink Calla lilies or white calla lilies. i'm worried all pink will be "too" pink....but white calla lilies against my ivory dress?? Still waiting to hear feedback from the floral designer on what she thinks.

I got some of these in a brighter pink this weekend at Target! Love the $1 bin! I'm going to wrap them in Tulle and put something in them....maybe personalized M&M's or something else...not sure what.

Oh yeah!! I booked our flights today!! $137pp nonstop from Indy! GREAT deal!!

 

[29apr00]

oh yeah, forgot my shoes!!

 

[Tink&PirateMama]

OMG those shoes are SUPER cute!!! I love them!!


Happy Anniversary!!! Great cake!! I know what you mean about it seeming long and short. Our 11 years as a couple is coming up in 2 weeks, and when I think about it, it seems forever, and not very long! OMG I watched our wedding video the other day, and I can't believe how young we look too! My kids were like, daddy doesn't look like daddy, LOL! But my sweet, sweet boy says... but mommy looks the same! LOL! I'm sure it's only because I still have the same hairstyle, LOL!

Congrats!!

 

[29apr00]

Aw how sweet of your DS! I actually saw our Wedding Video sitting on the shelf this weekend while we were cleaning! I should watch it too!

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

Happy Anniversary! The cake is adorable.

I think pink calla lillies would be beautiful for your Epcot shoot. Are you doing your Epcot bouquet through Disney?

 

[MegKate]

I've never been on time to anything in my life, and I'm glad I continued the trend here!

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, HAPPY Anniversary!! (Meg singing the anniversary song!)

Love the shoes! And the cake - how cute is that!

 

[CinderelliT]

I'm a little late too. I'll probably be late for my own funeral as I am late to everything else.
Sooo... Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!

Love the cake, and the shoes are totally sexy! And I think you should go for pink calla lillies. A girl can never have enough pink! (I say as I sit in a pink room with hot pink curtains, & a pink blanket)

Thank you! I'm actually going outside for the Epcot bouquet...because my bouquet for the VR will be for DCL...i didn't want to pay so much for another one 5 days earlier.

I've never been on time to anything in my life, and I'm glad I continued the trend here!

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, HAPPY Anniversary!! (Meg singing the anniversary song!)

LOL Thanks Meg!!

I'm a little late too. I'll probably be late for my own funeral as I am late to everything else.
Sooo... Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!

Acutally....i think i'm going with the white calla lillies!! I was worried you wouldn't be able to differienate the flowers if they were all the same color!

If you've managed to escape the economic crisis that has gripped our nation for the past 12 months, than consider yourself very very lucky. We haven't been so lucky. Dh and I are both pretty heavily tied to the automotive industry and our finances are a MESS right now! While I havn't been layed off yet.....things don't look good for my company. And even though Dh isn't in danger of being laid off, his work has dropped of drastically in the past 4 months. We're down about $800-1200 a month! No place at all for saving extra money for an expensive vacation. Time to be frugal and practical.....

The cruise itself was mostly paid for...just a small balance left due. So what we have done is drop from the balcony in Cat 6 down to a gty Cat 12. Hopefully we'll get a nice upgrade ( PLEASE pray for that, i'm so not looking forward to 3 days in an inside with 2 small children!) and most importantly....we've switched to the Deck 7 ceremony. I am a little bummed about it.....it was my dream to have it right on the beach. But when you really think about it....the where and when are not what is important here. This is about family being together and celebrating what we have! So this is what we have done....and hopefully we'll get a great discount code or an awesome promo for the WDW stay and that will knock the price down for that.

Sorry you had to make some changes but I think you have a great outlook and your VR is going to be amazing!!!
