Danielle and Brandon had a very magical Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin wedding. It was classy and had just the right amount of Disney touches.
One of the nice things about getting married in a hotel, is your getting ready rooms are right on site. The Swan reserve has rooms with an amazing view for while you are getting ready. You can even see EPCOT.
Bride getting ready
The day started with Danielle and her girls getting ready, and some detail photos.
Of course I need to take portraits of Danielle on the staircase of the lobby of the Swan Reserve.
Groomsmen getting ready
The Groom and his groomsmen got ready in a room at the Dolphin hotel and then we took some fun group shots of them in front of the iconic dolphin fountain
Ceremony in The Oasis Ballroom
Because we had a warning of rain and it was crazy hot, the ceremony was moved inside to the Oasis Ballroom at the Swan Reserve. Divine Floral Events made the coolest Mickey floral arch. It was the perfect classy touch of Disney for their ceremony.
Danielle and Brandon picked songs from Disney for everyone to walk down the aisle to. Brandon was all smiles as Danielle came down the aisle to him.
They had a touching ceremony with their best friends standing with them.
After the ceremony we took photos with her family. The Mickey arch was the perfect backdrop for this! Then we went outside for some wedding party photos.
The Disney Boardwalk Resort
One of the best things about a Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin wedding is how close it is to the Boardwalk! We took a quick walk over to the Boardwalk resort to take some portraits of Danielle and Brandon.
I love this little path that is by the Crescent Terrace ceremony space at the Swan Resort. There are gorgeous trees and water and you can see the back of the Boardwalk Resort. It’s a really pretty spot for some walking photos.
The Dolphin Resort
One of the highlight spots to take portraits is the fountain and the walkway at the Dolphin resort. The architecture of the Dolphin resort is so unique.
The Vue Ballroom Reception
The Vue ballroom at the Swan Reserve was the perfect spot for their reception. With views of Walt Disney world, it is an amazing spot for any Disney fan.
On the way back up to their reception, Danielle and Brandon stopped at the Swan Reserve sign at the front of the hotel for a photo.
The Mickey arch from their ceremony was moved up to the reception space to be re-purposed for behind their champagne tower. They had cute little Disney touches on their tables with floral for an elegant look.
Danielle & Brandon had their grand entrance that transitioned directly into a champagne tower pour! It was a fun way to get their loved ones excited as they went right into their first dance afterwards.
I loved their cake! They had projections on it, and it gave a fun subtle Disney touch.
Of course everyone danced the night away with Danielle and Brandon after this!
And the very best way to end a Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin wedding is with fireworks. From the balcony of the Vue Ballroom you can see the EPCOT fireworks! It’s the best.
We had such a magical time photographing Danielle and Brandon’s wedding. It is always fun to be on Disney property for a wedding.
Thank you so much Darlings for reading, I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day <3
