root lifers

If we’ve photographed your wedding, you’ve hopefully joined our online “clubhouse” for past Root couples. It’s called Root Lifers BECAUSE of Lindsey, the sister of the bride you’re about to meet. So to say this family is special to us is an extreme understatement; they’re family. <3

Lauren and Craig’s wedding story is a lot like some other weddings I’ll be sharing this year: they planned a beautiful May wedding in Columbus, Ohio, before the world fell apart and had to pivot. They rescheduled to September and she was so happy they did; when their original wedding date arrived, it poured allllllll day, so everything would have been moved inside! Instead, we enjoyed the most amazing weather in the 70º’s, and it was the most welcome break for these Florida kids!!

Y’all- we’ve only shot two weddings these past 6 months and I still never even blogged our last two weddings before the shutdown! I definitely feel a little dusty when we start shooting, but it all comes back right away. And I’m a little out of practice when it comes to our workflow after a wedding, trying to remind myself what step is next, lol! Anyway, I thought I’d jump back into blogging with our most recent event and then catch up as time goes on.

On to Lauren and Craig’s day! <3

These two met AT a wedding! Lauren was a bridesmaid and she and Craig even have a photo from dancing at the reception. :)

We’ve photographed Maddie since she was a teeny baby, so I loved seeing how grown up she looked as a flower girl in her aunt’s wedding! <3

Just to prove I’m not lying- This baby is the beauty in the last photo!! <3

First look love! <3

The middle three are all Root brides! <3 <3 <3

His sweet mama was a ball of emotions all day and I. was. here. for. it!! <3

Lindsey’s sweet grandma wasn’t able to make it because of Covid, but she was absolutely there in spirit (and Facetime!)

Special mini session for our favorites!!! This will be the first year they haven’t come down to Florida for a family session since Liam was a BABY and I’m still in denial about that!
