The York Family

Picture this moment with me.

You’ve been hired to photograph a magical, Disney themed wedding with a joy-filled bride and groom. Smiles abound, perfect details surround you and a beautiful bride walks down the aisle, escorted by her dad, to marry the man she loves.

White pumpkins line the aisle, the bride, wearing a beautiful Cinderella style gown, clutches a Minnie Mouse themed bouquet, in shoes she painted herself to meet her groom under a floral archway. Making their vows to one another, the bride gifts the groom the Ellie badge from the Disney film Up.

Vows made, rings exchanged and the first kiss as husband and wife shared, the happy couple make their way to the reception where they dance the night away surrounded by their loved ones. Friends and family offer congratulations and special memories are made.

That’s how I met Cory and Amanda York. To date, their wedding theme has been one of my favorites. While each wedding holds a special place in my heart, Cory and Amanda’s attention to detail will forever be what I love about weddings.

A few years go by, and they are expecting their baby girl, Leia. A perfect name for a family that adores all things Disney! Last summer, I photographed their maternity session at a sunflower field owned by my cousins, Brock and Kimberly. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this special couple again! That was last summer, in 2022.

When my cousin said they were ready again this year, I had to make that announcement on Facebook. Cory and Amanda were the first in line for a session with Leia!

“We have to come full circle on this!” Amanda’s words were music to my ears! I was so excited! I couldn’t wait to capture their precious family photos at this very special location!

Cory, Amanda, thank you both so much for allowing me these opportunities over the years to capture these special moments! You are both precious and I can’t wait to see what the future brings! I am so grateful for both of you!
