Katrina + Steven : Orlando Destination Wedding Photographer

by 1 Comment

It all began with a marriage proposal on their 7 year anniversary! Katrina and Steven are from England, and Steven popped the question while on a trip to New York. :)

It was an absolute honor to photograph this wedding day along with some of our favorite friendors- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup and Joe and Kristen of Switzerworld! I’m so excited to see their finished film! :)

Kicking things off with my favorite! <3

This vintage ring box held Katrina’s grandmother’s ring. :)

I love a good custom ring box, especially when there are floating lanterns involved! <3

Real-life fairy godmother- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. <3

One of my all time favorite father/daughter first looks- Equal parts silly and sweet.

Katrina, you made a gorgeous bride! <3

This moment. <3

Just a little pre-reception gaming in the arcade next door! <3

Post-cake smash icing in your hair? I got your back! ;)

Last dance squeeze with Kristen! :)

Katrina and Steven, thank you for having us!! :)

Robin + Eric : Romantic Wedding at Walt Disney World

by 1 Comment

Even before officially booking her date with Disney, Robin reached out and asked us to be her wedding photographers! :)

It seemed like everyone we spoke with at the wedding was in agreement that these two are a perfect fit. One of the first conversations Robin and Eric had was the fact that their kids shared the same name- Cameron and Kamren! Now that they’re a family, they go by Cam and Kami to save some confusion. :)

Some of my favorite things about their wedding day: KIDS GALORE! There was no lack of laughter, that’s for sure! Robin had not one but TWO stunning gowns and I’m so hoping this continues to be a trend for our Root brides! ;)

Officiant: Renee Silverman
Entertainment: DJ Charles Miles
Bridesmaids Dresses: Sorella Vita #9068  in Vintage Rose

Look. At. These. Dresses. <3

Oh hi Stacie!

One of my favorite ceremony shots everrrrr! <3

MARRIED! :)

Robin and Eric, it was such an honor! Thank you for having us!! :)

THE ROOTS TAKE ON THE DISNEY DREAM!!

by 2 Comments

You may have seen a few of my favorite photos in this post when we shared our Toddler’s Guide to the Disney Cruise Line!

If you liked that post, you should keep reading, because this one has moooore photos! And if you didn’t like it there might be something wrong with you. Because LOOK AT THIS TINY PIRATE!

We got to go on our first family cruise when Nate and I photographed Katrina and Josh’s wedding! 

While we photographed the wedding, Ollie was moving in to their Small World Nursery and he did. not. want. to. leave!!! But first things first- Boarding the ship!

Anyone who’s done a Disney Cruise knows how they greet you on the ship and this was my first time pushing a stroller through the clapping and waving Mickey hands and it made me so emotional! But imagine our surprise when we had a team of the happiest friends skipping and running towards us to greet us- The Switzerfilm team was also on board to shoot the wedding and heard our names being announced and it was the most fun start to the trip!

Ollie saw Joe’s captain hat and immediately requested to wear it. Oliver can be a tough toddler to befriend, but share a hat and bam! Best friends!

This poor kid finally gets a grasp on what a boat is and then he’s introduced to cruise ships! He boarded knowing what a boat was and left thinking every building was a boat, lol!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. Also only as a photo memory because in person I was terrified every time he’d touch the railing that it would break and he would fall in because I’m THAT mom.

I cannot. <3

A highlight of the trip was picking Ollie up from the Small World daycare on pirate night and bringing home a reeeeeal baby pirate!!!!

THOSE. CURLS. MY. HEART. <3

My whole entire heart in one photo! Look at how cute my people are!!

“He’ll LOVE the splash pad,” they said.

HATED. IT.

The one part that he liked until he slipped on a wet tile and cried for the next 30 minutes. :/

MORNING OLLIE IS THE BEST OLLIE.

Just kidding! FIST BUMPING OLLIE IS THE BEST OLLIE!

Something tells me he’s not gonna like these guys any more on the next cruise, but at least I’ll be putting him in a cute matching outfit to cuten up those tears! ;)

If you read the Toddler Guide, you know he constantly thought this photo was Nate!!!!

Look at that blue water!!! This is what I try to focus on when I’m fighting my panic about my PRIDE AND JOY LEANING UP ON GLASS SO HIGH UP OMGOMGOMG.

Every Ollie is the best Ollie. <3

Our feelings about the cruise being over! This one was so different than relaxing cruises past- But so, so, so much fuller. Let’s see how the next one goes now that he’s learned to say “No.” <3
