Well, school has started and I never did get my tr done. We were sooo busy with Christmas in our studio and at our house, that I spent the rest of vacation just being a slug.
I have started working on some new projects for our at home reception. I am also arguing with my side of the family over doing another ceremony. Our VR on the cruise was just down right magical, and we don't want to do it again just for show. It was special for us, and that's what matters. We did want to do a blessing or something of the sort so we can get dressed up again. But we don't want to do the whole thing. My family wants otherwise. This is leaving me very confused and stressed!

I am going to have to find some happy medium. I really want a party to celebrate and no stress!
I also realized that I have like 2 months to get ready!! Ahhh! Where did the time go. So I just ordered all the pieces to make the invitations and get those started.
We also did our MK and Epcot photo shoot on Monday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun, but it was really tiring and FREEZING cold. I got up at 2am to do my hair and make up so we could drive there. Due to the scheduling change, we couldn't get a hotel since I couldn't get babysitters for kids and animals.
We had Amy for our photographer, and she was amazing. I don't think we started off on the right foot though, b/c we were running a few minutes late, and we weren't dressed. So when we met her, I was dragging my dress behing me and I think her eyeballs about popped out of her head!!!
But she was really nice and helped us get dressed, and we were ready in less than 10 mins. So we were only 15mins behind schedule. She did warm up to us, but it was a bit awkward at first.
However, the experience was something that I will never, ever forget. There were several moments that were just amazing and magical and rank up there with exchanging our vows. I hope that the pictures are able to capture that! The castle is our happy place, and it was wonderful to be there with the man I love by ourselves.
Amy spent almost 4 hours with us, and there were some challenges in shooting in the kingdom. Did I mention that it was freezing? They had all the flowerbeds covered in blankets to protect the plants and heaters blowing over them. Plus there were loads of workers trying to take care of the heaters and plants. We didn't get to do as many out in front of the castle as I would have like due to this, and I am curious to see what Amy does with the ones she did take.
We brought our tripod and were planning on taking some pics around the Grand Floridian afterwards, but we took so many with Amy that we never even got our camera out of the car! I couldn 't believe it. Epcot was deserted and freezing cold. Italy was super windy and we tried to shoot inside the shops instead of outside. I can't wait to see our pics!
