Wedding: Nick & Ashley | Disneyland Hotel, CA | Analisa Joy Photography | Southern CA Photographer

Happy Monday everyone! I could not have asked for a better wedding to kick off my 2018 season. Nick and Ashley tied the knot at the happiest place on earth and if you know me, you know that I am a die hard Disney lover! I live 40 minutes away from the theme park and it is basically my second home during the off season. I have always dreamed of photographing a wedding at Disneyland and I’m so thankful that Nick and Ashley made that dream come true! Nick used to work as a staff member at Disneyland and Ashley is equally as obsessed with all things Disney. For dates, they love to just walk around both parks, eat snacks, and people watch. They don’t even need to go on rides because they simply enjoy the atmosphere! I also loved all the hidden Mickey touches that were incorporated into their big day and the fact that they spent their honeymoon at Disney World! Nick and Ashley are truly your fairytale couple and it was such an honor to be able to capture their love and take part in all the magic that surrounded this day. I have so many favorites and they are posted below. Enjoy!

Obsessed with these rose gold ears!

How perfect are these Cinderella type shoes from Steve Madden? Ashley’s ears were the perfect compliment! 

Fun Fact: Ashley’s mom designed and created her entire wedding dress! AMAZING! 

Hair and makeup was styled by: Vanity Belle 

Ashley’s mama and dress maker! Still amazed by this… so special!

Are these two the cutest or what?

Her mom also created these throws for when the girls got cold! 

Such a gorgeous bride! 

Florals created by: Lupita’s Flowers

These three all worked together at Disneyland! So fun!

How perfect are these ties?!

These two got ready in the Frontier Tower. Another fun fact, their first kiss took place in Frontier Land at Disneyland.
I didn’t know this until later in the evening, but we just so happened to do their first look/kiss by the Frontier sign! FATE!

Hidden Mickey’s were even sewn into her veil! Amazing!

They encouraged all kids to come dressed up as their favorite Disney characters! This is the BEST! 

These two are loved! This is just one side of their extended family! 

How AMAZING is this seating chart? 

My all time favorite Disneyland snack is their pretzels. I was in heaven! 

Look who came to surprise all the guests! The kids went crazy with excitement… and the adults!

You become one of my favorite couples if you smash the cake! I love cake smashes!

Perfect day from start to finish. Congrats Nick and Ashley!
