The Root Photography Blog

It was one of those “when you know, you know” relationships from the very beginning. Kym and Anthony were together for two years before reaching out for their Disney wedding, and ended up booking Paradise Cove for their dream Central Florida wedding! Paradise Cove is one of those hidden gems of an Orlando wedding venue, complete with an on-site house to get ready, sandy ceremony under huge, mossy trees, a lake view (complete with speedboat entrance for your groom!), and reception just a few steps over under beautiful market lights. <3

Kym’s mother and step mom pinned special momentos to the inside of her wedding dress from her grandmothers no longer with them.

This first look with her dad and step dad just kiiiiiills me!!

Their ceremony was officiated by their friend who set them up, and I loved how personal it made their wedding!

Marrieddddddddddd!!

BEST.

Our first time working with this gem of a man, JW, in so so long!! <3

Kym and Anthony, thank you for giving us the honor of capturing your day!!! <3

Gabrielle and Logan found us from a Facebook group where past Disney couples share their experiences. (Very often about their wedding photographers!) It means the world that we’ve been able to build a business solely based on word-of-mouth referrals, and it’s not lost on us how special that is in 2023. Every referral from a past couple, be it to your closest friend or a complete stranger on the internet, means so so much to us. We will keep photographing weddings as long as y’all keep us around!! :)

From her first email to us, Gabrielle made it abundantly clear that photography was her biggest priority and gosh, I hope we delivered! All day, her family reflected on the fact that Gabby had been planning this day since she was a child, and it was so special to have a front row seat to her dream coming true. :)

Gabrielle started her morning at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Nate’s done getting ready photos here for a wedding, but it was *my* first time, and I’m smitten! There’s nothing like that peaceful view of the lake and Skyliners sailing by.
