At our first meeting with Manley & Lorie, we’ve quickly learned that Manley loved all things magical, whimsical and fairytale-like. For their proposal, they went to Disneyworld Florida for a friend’s 30th birthday. In front of the Magic Castle, Lorie got down on one knee and surprised Manley with the most important question of her life! At first she thought he was joking - “I thought he was joking so I pushed his shoulder telling him to stop. I started walking away but my friends yelled at me to go back. Still confused, I went back and let him hold my hand again. People had started cheering and I couldn't hear Lorie anymore.”
For their wedding, it was to no surprise that it was an inspired whimsical and romantic theme with pink, blush, creams and soft white as their colours. For their wedding details, the colours were really in the bride and bridesmaid’s bouquets. A pair of Jimmy Choo’s is every girl’s dream wedding shoes and Manley’s were the pink sparkly ones! You can definitely see more of romantic and fairytale blend in the reception decorations and hall. The centrepieces were tall gold vase with floral arrangement on top surrounded with tall candles and a gold vintage mirror table number - that reminds me of the Beauty and the Beast table setting but much more prettier! Paradise Banquet Hall is perfect venue to match Manley and Lorie’s wedding theme with the regal room and big chandelier! It was so dreamy to see their first dance underneath the beautiful oversized chandelier on the top and dry ice rising from the ground creating a cloud like effect and everything was just so romantic!
Most Disney Princesses stories take place at a tower or on top of a hill, for Manley & Lorie’s portraits we headed up a hill as well. We were “close” to the sky and saw many trees below us. Manley wore a beautiful off-shoulder a-line gown with sheer embroidered lace bodice that gave her a modern princess vibe when we photograph them over the hills!
Although Manley and Lorie’s wedding was postponed, due to COVID restrictions, and smaller than what they’ve imagined it to be but their wedding day was beautiful nonetheless! They were surrounded with so much joy and love from families and friends! Thank you Manley and Lorie for having us to be a part of your special day and capturing all the beautiful moments you’ve shared with loved ones! Congratulations to the newly wed!
