Meagan & Christopher's Love Story Engagement at Disney's BoardWalk, Skyliner, and Riviera Resort

Whimsical Disney Romance in Orlando

If you’re dreaming of a romantic engagement session filled with whimsical charm and timeless Disney magic, Meagan and Christopher’s Disney BoardWalk engagement photos are the ultimate inspiration. As an Orlando wedding and engagement photographer, I was honored to capture this chapter of their journey at three iconic locations: Disney’s BoardWalk, the Disney Skyliner, and Disney’s Riviera Resort.

From the moment I met Meagan and Christopher, I could feel the energy between them—the kind of connection that makes you believe in fairytales. They give off that unmistakable “storybook love” energy, and photographing them felt like stepping into the pages of a romantic tale.

A Stroll Through Disney’s BoardWalk

We began at Disney’s BoardWalk, one of my favorite engagement photo locations in Orlando. The pastel architecture, glistening waters of Crescent Lake, and vintage boardwalk vibes created a perfect backdrop for this playful, romantic couple.

Meagan looked absolutely radiant—soft curls, glowing skin, and timeless makeup gave her total “Belle” energy (and yes, I called her Belle all session!). Christopher’s warm smile and the way he looked at her said everything. Together, they brought the BoardWalk’s nostalgic charm to life in every frame.

Skyliner to the Riviera Resort: A Picture-Perfect Journey

To keep the magic going, we hopped aboard the Disney Skyliner, one of the most delightful ways to travel between Walt Disney World resorts. With views floating above the resort grounds, we glided into one of my favorite portrait gems: Disney’s Riviera Resort.

This European-inspired resort offers an elegant, artistic atmosphere—ideal for couples who want a blend of playful and editorial imagery. We paused by the Rapunzel and Peter Pan mosaic murals for romantic moments, and these two simply lit up on camera. Their laughter, hand-in-hand connection, and effortless chemistry made the images sing.

From Engagement Magic to a Disney Wish

I also had the honor of photographing Meagan and Christopher’s wedding aboard the Disney Wish with Disney Cruise Line—a full-circle dream after their resort engagement session. Stay tuned for that blog: think ocean breeze, dreamy details, and all the pixie dust.

Planning Tips for a Disney BoardWalk + Riviera Session

• Timing: Aim for sunrise (quiet, airy) or sunset (glow, lights) to avoid crowds and maximize romance.
