Randy Chapman stays pretty busy with Disney Weddings but when he is not doing that he is not short of work to do. He has a passion for what he does and never stops trying to improve. It is with that knowledge that I would like to give you an introduction to the world of Randy and what is new.
We all know that Randy likes to work with Disney Brides, Disney Couples and Disney Families. The question is how did he get here? and why does he love the Disney Fairytale so much?
How he started with photography: Randy started off in New York City where he shot up and coming models for 2 years. He discovered his passion for photography and when he went home to his state of Florida he started to get involved with the wedding business
How he got involved with Disney: Randy had been shooting weddings for 6 years when he was recognized by a former Disney Bride Andrea Rotondo in 1997. She was actually a past Disney Bride herself. Andrea is the creator of the Disneymooners website and forums. Randy owes a lot to Andrea because she posted a link to his website within the Disneymooners and the Unofficial Disney Wedding Guide. From there things took off for him and for the past 17 years he has been working with Disney's Fairtytale Weddings. The Disney weddings are 90% of his wedding business
Other things Randy likes to shoot: When not doing weddings Randy likes to shoot honeymoons, anniversaries, families, family reunions, and he really loves doing engagement shoots. The engagement shoot for him is fun because he gets to meet the couple and share in their excitement about their upcoming wedding. He also loves them if he is also being hired for the wedding so that he learns how to work with the couple.
What he loves about working with Disney: Randy really enjoys working with the staff at Disney's Fairytale Weddings. He has worked with many of them for years so they are good friends. He also likes shooting the monorail with his couples and Cinderella's carriage.
Where would Randy get married at Disney? He would get married at the Wedding Pavillion because of its built in A/C and it is its own rain back up! Plus he thinks it provides great photo backdrops in and around the area. He would have his reception at the Atlantic Dance Hall because of its location at the Boardwalk and availability for photos.
What are Randy's Disney Favorites? Randy loves Pluto and always has a great time with him when he shows up as a character at weddings. His favorite Disney World ride is the Haunted Mansion. When at Disney World he likes to go to Epcot and eat his way across the world showcase. I have also discovered that Randy loves the Lion King. I discovered this through our time working together he loves that Simba guy!
So what is new with Randy? Randy has a lot of new things for 2013 and the end of 2012 and it looks like things are going to get really fun. It is a great time to be a Chapman Photography Bride!
