Genny + Matt : Washington Memorial Chapel Wedding in Valley Forge, PA and Normandy Farm Reception

January 14, 2014 by Jensey 9 Comments

Over two years ago, we photographed Gwen and Todd’s wedding at Walt Disney World. Gwen contacted us before the Christmas of 2012, and told us she wanted to give us as a Christmas / wedding gift for her newly engaged sister, Genny! We’d been counting the days to Genny’s wedding ever since, which took place in Valley Forge on the Fourth of July. :)

I think all wedding days should begin watching the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. It’s the sort of thing that makes you feel simultaneously ashamed and queasy, but let’s admit it- Also a little bit proud to be an American.

Genny and Matt had a slideshow going on the dance floor showing photos tagged with their wedding Instagram hashtag! It was so fun to see everyone’s photos from that day, and especially exciting when our photos popped up. :)

Mysti + John : Church Street Station Wedding in Orlando

January 6, 2014 by Jensey 4 Comments

Mysti and John’s wedding was a true “small world moment” for us. Nate and John were friends at UCF, and John ended up proposing to the sister of a past Root bride! You may remember their Winter Park engagement session, which featured their ever-adorable fur child. The single best start to the day was being greeted by this familiar face upon arrival to the Dr. Phillips House! :)

Gina + Matt = Landon : Boardman Park Ohio Family Session

January 2, 2014 by Jensey Leave a Comment

When my childhood pal Sarah told her bridesmaid Gina we were coming in town to photograph her Ohio wedding, Gina contacted us to photograph her family. We ended up shooting this cute family in Boardman Park the morning of Sarah’s wedding, and it was so fun going into Sarah’s wedding day with two new friends as wedding guests! :)

Gina, being the amazing dog mommy she is, insisted Dodger get some prime time in front of our lenses, too!
