Nate & Dustin love all things Disney, so of course they had to get married at Disneyland! They live in Oregon but decided to have their wedding in Southern California at the Disneyland Hotel with all their friends and family. Nate & Dustin have been together for 18 years! They met as teenagers when Nate was working at Subway and Dustin left a note on his car. The rest is history! I was so stoked when they reached out. I had been wanting to photograph a wedding at Disneyland, and queer love is my favorite, so this was a double whammy for me.
