Four Seasons Resort Wedding

Stephanie and Ryan traveled from Colorado to Orlando to be married at the Four Seasons Resort at Walt Disney World. With a small gathering of their immediate family the couple didn’t want anything too fussy. When they contacted Deidre at the Four Seasons, she knew exactly what to do for them. Deidre began with putting together an incredible team of wedding vendors that would take the couple’s vision for their intimate wedding and make it a reality.  Greenery Productions crafted a beautiful bouquet of roses, ivy, orchids, and peonies in rich blush colors to accentuate the bride’s dress. Victoria Angela Photography captured every moment of this intimate day.  From the bridal photos on the Grand Staircase, through the ceremony, and into more formal photos with family, she captured it all. Jacob with Luxecine did a wonderful job of capturing those moments on video for the couple.  His presence was non intrusive- almost like he wasn’t there, but still was able to embrace  those moments of the ceremony that will tell the couple’s story in video for years to come. 

 Rev.Glynn Ferguson a minister and officiant with Sensational Ceremonies worked with the couple to make their intimate wedding just that, intimate. He asked them to write and say why they love each other.  Stephanie wrote:

“I love Ryan for countless reasons, and I’m discovering more each day. But the ones that are foundational are these: He loves me like I’ve never been loved before… in ways I never believed someone would or could. He cherishes me, takes care of me, protects me – both emotionally AND physically, and makes me feel like a queen. He makes me laugh every single day without fail. He sacrifices for our family. He loves my son with a sweetness but also fierceness that brings tears to my eyes sometimes. He has the perfect combination of a light, humorous, joyful spirit and a disciplined, loyal, fearless servant leader who would lay down his life for those he loves and for strangers alike. I am so proud when I stand next to him – not only because he’s incredibly handsome – but because I know that he lives a life of integrity and honor… and I am honored that he has chosen me to be his wife. I can’t wait to start our lives together with him as the leader of our family.”

Ryan wrote the following about his bride:

“I can trace my growing affect to her from the moment I met Stephanie.  Beyond any mere attraction, there was connection at the start.  Nothing as simple as “love at first sight”.  However, sight was the hinge.  The way she looked at me that evening we met, is the way she looks at me today. The look in her eye, the smile on her face.  As if looking into me, triggering me to stand a little straighter.  Smile a little wider.  Speak a little clearer.  With only a glance, she’s always invoked in me the desire to be a better man.  The NEED to be a better man.  To be the man, not that she expects, but that she knows I can be.  The husband.  The father.  The overall man.  She keeps me driven.  She keeps me smitten.  She doesn’t require these things of me through spoken word.  She is just who she is, and that is more than enough to make me want to be all that I can be.  For her.  For our son.  For me.
