Danielle + Daniel : Grand Floridian Wedding

January 23, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

Yesterday was Dani and Dan’s engagement session in Celebration, Florida, and I’m so excited to share their wedding on the blog today!

You may recognize this photo from a post I did encouraging our couples to book connecting hotel rooms. You can read that post here… It just made the morning so much easier for their family members and us to float between rooms. Not to mention Nate was able to grab my favorite photo of the day. :)

Hopefully Dani will do a “First Look on the 1st” write up for me! :)

Dani and Dan, both actors, read Sandol Stoddard Warburg’s I Like You to each other at the altar. (Sweetest book ever- buy it here!)

My favorite part of their wedding day? The four of us took a leisurely 20 minute ride around the resort monorail track for some photos!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! If this doesn’t scream “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings,” nothing does. :)

Favorite. :)

Root Photography Blog - Disneyland Grand Californian Wedding Reception

Mindy and Tim’s reception was at the Grand Californian Hotel, where we’d photographed Victoria and Brian’s wedding the year prior. Tim and Mindy held their cocktail hour at my favorite Disneyland wedding venue- Brisa Courtyard, where the monorails pass overhead. <3

Tim and Mindy’s tables at the reception were named after their favorite television shows as a couple. Tim is actually a writer for one of our favorite shows, so that bumps their cool points as a couple to #1. :)

Mindy + Tim : Disneyland Hotel Wedding

Mindy and Tim’s wedding was our first-ever at the Disneyland Hotel and we were super excited to work with the Disneyland wedding team again. Mindy had the most amazing room to get ready in, and I love that she was able to overlook the Rose Court Garden where her ceremony would be in just a few hours.

Her headboard had light up fireworks on it! :)

From what I understand, Tara Fontana is the Patricia LeJeune of the west!

Disneyland Hotel Wedding

The story of how Mindy found her wedding dress is one of my favorites- She spotted it in the window of a local thrift shop and bought it for a whopping $15! Mindy had a seamstress put in the corset back, shorten the skirt, add some tulle, and voila! Her dream dress. :)

Disneyland Hotel Wedding

Hair and make-up ran pretty late, so I felt awful rushing Mindy through what should have been the most relaxing part of the day- portrait time! This is one of my favorite photos from the day- Mindy decided she wanted to reverse the typical first look so Tim walked up to her and not the other way around. I love the flowers all around her!
