Squeeeeeeeeee
So excited about this post and that you shared all these gorgeous photos!
Even more squeeeeee-ing! That's who I'd want too. I'm so glad you got him, these came out amazing!
He was so excellent!! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. I really liked Amanda's ability to build rapport and put us at ease, but I loved Ali's style.
My jealousy meter is currently registering "infinite". The prayer flags/maharajah jungle trek/belvedere palace ruins is my absolute favorite. All of the photos came out gorgeous but these are just sublime!
I LOVE this area! I'm so glad we got some nice shots there. The theming at AK is just so remarkable, so it's perfect for photos. The only area that's off-limits for pictures right now is Pandora, and apparently some people are disappointed by that, but I don't think it would even make my list if it had been an option because I love so many other parts of AK.
He didn't want it notated in his permanent record, he's dangerously close to getting kicked out of the college program.
As has been mentioned, aside from seeing a number of sadly flattened armadillos, the only armadilli (shouldn't it be armadilli? I mean that just sounds more fun that armadillos) I've seen have been making their way along a roadside, all businesslike scuttling. Maybe they're just officious little dudes and dudettes?
Aww!
Oh jackpot! Gorgeous. Glad you ultimately posted both as you know I was going to ask...
Of course I posted it! Because who
wouldn't want to see multiple versions of the same photo of us!? Who wouldn't want to see a billion other photos from that same session, for that matter!?
1.) you guys got a photo shoot in the CM backstage insta-worthy most beautiful wall on an official DFAP camera! I can't believe they wouldn't let photopass take it on her camera, haha. They came out adorable.
I totally thought of you when I was posting this!!
2.) THE HAT PHOTOS! Swoon!!! From here on (maybe due to the gorgeous sunrise?) your photos look like Disney promotional materials. Like I expect these to feature on the next disney planning DVD (please bring them back, Disney!!!) I am so glad Ali told you guys to throw caution to the wind and "borrow" the hats as those shots are just too cute!
They came out so fun and cute!! Sadly, we didn't get to keep the hats.
I'm such a fan of the planning DVDs!! Almost as much as Must Do Disney.
Thank you so much for sharing. These brightened up my morning Dis and coffee catch up
Of course now they make me want to schedule a park shoot... Truly lovely. Money well spent (especially since it wasn't mine,
Thanks so much!
Fantastic pictures! It must have been an incredible experience. I really like Animal Kingdom too, and I think if I ever did something like this, it would be the best park to chose for it.
Thanks so much! I agree that AK really makes a pretty great backdrop for photos.
When I was 10, we went down to New Orleans to see my mom's cousin and his family. And my mom's cousin was like, oh we've got armadillos all over here. So when we were driving down the highway one day, he made my parents pull over, jumped out of the car, and ran in and out of the brush until he caught the armadillo he had seen, and brought it back to the car for us to see.
Not sure if that's the kind of story you're looking for
Oh my goodness!! I love this story!
Yup, this is us
I'm so glad we're not the only ones like this!
I'm so glad because I want to see them ALL!
Your photos came out gorgeous as usual! I love it.
Thank you, friend!
Omg these photos are so beautiful and stunning! It sounds like Ali was wonderful to work with!
I am sure it was expensive but these photos are priceless!!
Thank you!! It was such a great experience, totally worth it.
You photos are beautiful and I am sure you will cherish them for years to come.
Thank you so much!
Those photos are absolutely stunning! What an amazing way to commemorate your anniversary!
Thank you!! It was a pretty special morning.
Ha! In the wild Disney!And to answer your question. No, I have never seen one.
This is def my favorite one!!! Love it.
Thank you!!
I vote for color. They are both fantastic, but I love the green wall.
I think I agree with you. It really pops.
And the blue doors are fantastic. Especially with the pink hair!
Ali had such a great eye! I love the colours in those ones.
I'm just going to repeat what everyone else has already said...every one of those photos is gorgeous! So many amazing shots, and I love that they were taken in Animal Kingdom. You guys got to take photos in so many beautiful spots.
Thank you so much!
It was a really special morning.
These are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Great pictures and trip report so far!
Thanks so much!
We had THE SAME experience doing our vow renewal pictures!!!! The outtakes are incredible...we look like two awkward strangers in several of them LOL
I'm so glad to know we're not the only ones who do this!
Thanks for sharing these again here--they are all amazing, and I feel like I know you better just from looking at them. Totally adorable!
Thank you so much! I love how they came out. And it's interesting you say that, because I feel like they really look like "us." Well..."us" if our personalities were displaced into slightly-better-looking models who know how to look decent in a picture (thanks for making that happen, Ali! It was all him, for sure!)
Meghan, the pictures are so amazing, this is a wonderful keepsake and treasure for you both!
I love the candid ones, you both look quite natural.
AK is such a beautiful park for pictures!
Thank you so much!!
Once we settled in with Ali and got into the session, he kept us feeling really comfortable and just wanted us to have fun, which made the photos come out really nicely, I thought! AK is the perfect backdrop.
Wow, what a fun photoshoot! And Ali really did wonders with you guys. DAK is so beautiful empty and at that time of day, but he really knew how to get the best shots of you. I think my favorite is the two of you walking by the Tree of Life and smiling at each other. So cute. I'd say you definitely had money well spent on that.
Ali was fabulous! And you couldn't be more correct about AK - it's such a beautiful place to be, especially early in the morning when it's so serene. It was a great morning!!
