Hi Everyone!
So my fiance and I are in the process of talking with a Disney wedding coordinator to get a contract signed by December 8th (for a 2014 wedding). We are trying to figure out all the elements we want, and I wanted to find out some information about the Magic Kingdom photo session. For me and my fiance, having Mickey and Minnie at the wedding reception, and the photo session in front of the castle, are the ABSOLUTE deal breakers for the Disney wedding. We would be okay with just Mickey and Minnie if it came down to it...but before spending the money on the photo session, I wanted to ask if anyone felt it was worth it.
The reason I ask is because I have fallen for the “hype” on the Disney Fine Art & Photography examples on their website. Those photos are BEAUTIFUL and it looks like the brides just walked into a freaking fairy tale (because they’re close to the castle, and the photos are photoshopped up the wazoo). That’s what I want. I want something so overly photoshopped that *I* look gorgeous on my wedding day, and my pictures look AMAZING.
I came across advice from another bride though that the pictures don’t necessarily turn out that way though. I did a quick Google search and DID find Magic Kingdom session photos that are…far from what I would consider “standard” for Disney. That said, it looked like those couples used their own photographers, as opposed to Disney’s photography service. Do we know if you bring your own photographer, they don’t let you get up close to the castle? We planned on using Disney’s people anyway (we’re out of state…so it’d be a pain in the butt to bring someone with us).
Please let me know, people with past experience! Thank you!
