Stephanie + Bryce // A Fairytale Engagement Session
-
To know Stephanie is like having a beautiful bright light shining warmth and happiness on you. Combine Stephanie + Bryce together and you see magic. Bryce being the dashing, funny charismatic guy that he is brings out the absolute best in Stephanie. They have quite the love story and are legit high school sweet hearts. For all the jaded people out there, this is the second high school sweet heart love story that we have had the privilege of photographing this year. Finding young love and growing old together does still happen!
Here is their love story from Stephanie’s perspective.“It started on the first day of our junior year in highschool, August 11,2003. I walked into my third period class (ironically it was Chemistry class) where I met Bryce. We ended up sitting next to each other. We became best friends almost instantly. The night that my mother and father met, my father looked her in the eyes and said “I’m going to marry you someday!” and within a week of meeting Bryce he had said the same thing to me. It didn’t hit me just yet that this was fate and we were meant to be together. Nine months later, in May of 2004, we had our junior prom coming up. Unfortunately, we did not end up going together but the night of the dance, in the middle of the dance floor, Bryce tapped me on the shoulder and just like we were playing the leads in a brand new box-office smash, I spun around as if in slow motion, met his eyes and at that second “I knew”. After that night we were inseparable and within two weeks we were dating. We spent every day that summer together. Senior year was fantastic and I rode Cloud 9 all the way to graduation!! In June of 2004 my father passed away and it was the worst time of my life and I was blessed to have Bryce by my side but just two weeks later he left Cape Coral and headed off to Orlando to play football for UCF. I was so lost without the two of them. For the next two and a half years I was working full time and traveling the three hours back and forth from Orlando to Cape Coral whenever I could to visit. Finally in November of 2007 I moved to Orlando to be with Bryce. In June of 2008 we bought our first house and got a dog. Since then, we have been living the “married” life (having the house, jobs, cars, dog and all), we have gotten another dog, Bryce graduated UCF with a BA and I am getting ready to graduate Valencia College. We are finally ready to make it official and get married for real!!”After you view these pictures of this beautiful couple we think you will agree, they definitely have great chemistry!
It was the perfect day for an engagement session at the Magic Kingdom and we are so thankful that Stephanie’s dream of having her photographs here was able to come true.
Yes, that is a Disney Mr. button you see on Bryce. At the core every love story it really is all about the details.
Here is a close-up of the buttons. C-U-T-E!

A woman in love is such a beautiful thing.
After walking around the Magic Kingdom we popped into the Grand Floridian Resort to take some pictures of this beautiful couple.
Chemistry, yes?!?!?
Such a sweet couple and oh so much fun to be around. Bryce kept us laughing all afternoon long.

A beautiful December wedding is not very far off!

Stephanie and Bryce will spend many, many years laughing and loving life together.
The King and Queen are surveying their kingdom and all is right in their world.
