Wedding Photo Help

[Fable McCloud]

So here's the thing:

My BF and I originally wanted to get hitched in WDW. The problem is that all my elderly relatives have already vetoed this idea, and since I'm an only child, not having my grandparents at my wedding would be detrimental.

The decision was made that we would instead honeymoon in WDW. What I would like to know is if there is any way I could bring my dress and his tux and get photos in the park by a Disney Photographer. Nothing would make me happier than to have a picture of me in my wedding gown in front of Cinderella Castle, or the later created Beast's Castle.

Does anyone know if this is something they offer, and how much I might expect to pay?

You should contact Disney Fairytale Weddings to get the final ruling. A lot has changed in recent years. In the past it was my impression that the portrait sessions in the parks in bridal attire was a perk reserved for DFTW brides. The last time I priced the MK bridal shoots as an add-on to a wedding package it started at $600 or something like that for the sitting fee & some basic assortment of prints. That's been a few years ago, tho. Definitely call and let them tell you what the rules and prices are currently.

That sounds correct to me.
