Michelle & Menard ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ’


When Menard reached out to us about wanting to propose to his girlfriend Michelle, we were ecstatic!  He had planned every little detail and that made it all even more special. 


We knew everything about this day was going to be absolutely thoughtful and romantic and for months, were as anxious as Menard for the big day!


What started off as a rainy and stormy afternoon, turned into a beautiful, overcast evening.  Menard and Michelle took a horse-drawn carriage ride at Port Orleans Riverside, and their chauffeur left them at the pavilion, where Mario and I were waiting.  We pretended to be there taking photos of our Disney Parks Up balloon, that our amazing client turned friend Jessica purchased from Disneyland and had it deflated and shipped to us.  That was just the sweetest gesture, and we were so excited to be the cool kids at WDW with the most popular balloon from the West Coast.


Menard told Michelle to walk over with him to see the balloons and maybe ask for a photo, when he pulled her close to him, took out an Adventure Book Engagement Ring Box, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him!  She said YES!  So many tears!


After we introduced ourselves to the happy couple, we walked around the resort for a quick engagement session.  Port Orleans Riverside is one of our favorite resorts, it is absolutely gorgeous! We made our way around the resort and their awesome chauffeur was driving another family around when he stopped to congratulate the happy couple.  If you look closely, you might see a little hidden Mickey!  ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ–ค


We had an amazing time with Michelle & Menard.  They were so sweet!  We wish them the best in their adventure together.
