Amanda + Jeff : Orlando Florida Wedding

August 22, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

I can think of no better time to share this happy December wedding than today, in the dead of August (FLORIDA in August at that!), when I could use the reminder that we’re this close to more beautiful weather! :)

We love Amanda and Jeff and knew from their engagement session (remember the Santa Mickey hats on the beach?) that we were going to love their wedding day. Jeff is a Fantasyland cast member, which happens to be *my* old workplace that I miss dearly, and it’s impossible to not smile when you’re around Amanda!

They were married at the Yacht Club Gazebo and had their reception in Ariel’s. I love that their best friend married them (though I’m a little partial to that!), and their DJ, Elliot, quickly became my favorite Disney DJ next to Charles Miles! :)

One of my favorites- So much happy in one photo! <3

I love when couples “play” a little bit instead of using traditional songs to walk down the aisle. Jeff and his parents came into “Come and Get Your Love” and had everyone dancing and smiling along! :)

I’m 99% sure Amanda walked into the theme song from The Princess Diaries, which is all kinds of perfect. <3

CHRISTMAS IS COMING YOU GUUUUUYS. <3

I’ll never forget their sweet first dance to “Define Dancing” from Wall-E. I think of them every time it comes on my playlist. <3

SO. MUCH. HAPPY.

The BEST wedding to end the year with. I MEAN!!! :)

Amanda and Jeff, we love y’all too much! Vow renewal soon please!! :)

Colt : Downtown Winter Garden Family Session

Friends, meet Colt; the little bug here squinching his face and making this one of Nate’s favorite family portraits! :)

Colt’s sweet momma found us on Instagram(!!!!). She reached out to us after being in need of some official family portraits and her wedding photographer left Florida. I never wish that for someone, knowing how dear our couples are to me, but I’m secretly so happy to have them as part of the Root Photography family now! :)

We met up in our favorite portrait location, downtown Winter Garden, for some play time!

All photos below taken by Nate. <3

We are booking fall sessions now and have limited availability, so contact us soon to book yours! :)

One of my favorites!!!!!!

This blue wall is always my favorite backdrop for Nate photos, but especially when you pair it with piercing blue eyes!!

Hi, Colt! <3

Colt, we had so much fun with your sweet family and hope to see you again next year! <3

Kelsey + Christian : Orlando Florida Wedding Photographers

August 15, 2016 by Jensey 5 Comments

Their mutual love of a Japanese video game brought Kelsey and Christian together as teenagers, and finally they’re married! :)

These two planned their Disney wedding from Oklahoma, and not only was this trip special because they were getting married, but also because it was Christian’s first visit to Walt Disney World!

We loved getting to know this sweet couple and Kelsey’s sweet family. Her family is full of Campbell’s Soup employees, and they surprised us at the end of the evening with a Campbell’s soup onesie, pacifier, and “Future Campbell’s Soup CEO” bib for Baby Root! <3 <3 <3

I love that they had custom cocktail napkins at the bar with random facts about them as a couple. :)

It was a rainy one, y’all (which only means tons of good luck!), but luckily Kelsey had two of the most dapper men on hand to help out! :) Caaaaaaan we talk about the back of this dress for a minute? Thanks. THANK YOU, COORDINATING MONORAIL! <3 Yeah.. About that rain. :/ But see those smiles?! Kelsey and Christian FTW!!
