Adrienne + Mike : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

October 8, 2024 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Adrienne and Mike met in college at St. John’s University. We shared a film class senior year, but I had already known Mike as “the guy that worked in the Mac lab.” They went separate ways after college and reconnected on Instagram. Adrienne got a puppy, Mike started to comment on every story she posted of him, and the rest is history!

Mike planned to propose in Walt Disney World before their first-ever Disney Cruise, but Hurricane Ian had other plans. After four canceled flights to Orlando, they made it down *just* in time to board the Fantasy. Plan B it was! Mike proposed in the Atrium stairs on their way to Palo (the fancy restaurant!) After their proposal, it wasn’t much of a stretch to see why they chose a Walt Disney World wedding and Disney Cruise Line honeymoon! :)

After spending most of her life dreaming of being a Disney bride, Adrienne stumbled upon the magic of Carrie Hayward’s wedding planning trip report and thus found our photos. From her first inquiry, she wrote, “I knew then I would not only be a Disney bride, but a Root Lifer,” and Nate and I melted and we were beyond honored she asked us to be her wedding photographer. <3

Not me and Cathryne Martell taking a pair of children’s scissors to the bottom of Adrienne’s dress because she kept tripping over it!

I love catching that “omg, I’m a Disney bride!” moment. :)

Abby + Ethan : Rainy Disney Wedding

Abby and Ethan heard about us our favorite way: from past Root couples! :)

They met each other in college and are both Disney people- after frequent visits to Orlando and Disney, they knew exactly where they wanted to get married! :)

While we wish on wedding days we could take control of the weather, we can’t. But days like Abby and Ethan’s make us beyond grateful for the clients we attract; I’m convinced Abby’s smile couldn’t be any bigger, downpour or not!!

Abby had some of her mother’s wedding details on hand which made for some extra special detail photos. :)

When you’re staying in one of the new Grand Floridian rooms, make sure you look for the hidden penguin in the light fixture! :)

We loooooove a first look, especially when our couple exchanges private vows. <3

Two of Disney Weddings’ finest testing out lighting for us! <3

Each seat had one of these special cards written by the bride. <3

Abby and Ethan, thank you for letting us be a part of such a special day!! <3

Ashley + Jeremy : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Part I

September 23, 2024 by Jensey 1 Comment

Ashley grew up in a Disney family always dreaming of a ceremony at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion when the monorail drove past. Jeremy may not be a Disney person, but he’s an Ashley person, so he was happy to help her dream come true. <3

You may remember from our post last week that Jeremy proposed at the Grand Floridian; Ashley thought she was going to dinner with a friend, but Jeremy popped out and surprised her with a ring- and her family! :)

Ashley was one of the most prepared brides we’ve ever had; she even brought in this beautiful, huge mirror for her getting ready photos. :)

Mother/ daughter goals right here. <3

The biggest surprise of the day? Ashley had no idea her parents booked her Cinderella’s Coach. The ponies started pulling up and Ashley sighed, “oh, they must be off to someone’s wedding.” I lovedddddd the moment she realized they were there for HER!
