This Sweet Shoot Proves a Disney Elopement Can Be Inexpensive and Subtle

A former Disney cast member who got married at Walt Disney World herself was the perfect person to create an elopement shoot at Disney's Boardwalk and the Beach Club's Resort beach on Crescent Lake. "With wedding costs rising, a lot of couples are bucking the modern tradition of the big white wedding to truly craft a day that's all about them!" she told their photographer.

To prove that a Disney wedding doesn't require a huge budget, she and Yasmen Katrina Events styled a sweet and subtle shoot with real-life, newly engaged couple Kristine and Nicholas. The elopement inspiration maintained a vintage vibe with a short wedding gown, vintage-inspired hair, and matching Minnie Mouse bow earrings and necklace. The groom sported suspenders and a bow tie.

"Adventuring with your one true love is the most romantic, fun story you could ever share with future generations," she said. "A little Disney magic ensures it'll be the best day ever!"
