Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
How is Christmas over already, y’all?!
Before Nate and I head out on our field trip to Cape Canaveral today, I wanted to post some preview photos for the ever-patient Amanda and Jeff! This was our last Disney wedding of 2015, and such a perfect way to wrap up another great year. :)
Amanda and Jeff, we truly love y’all- ENJOY! <3
The morning after Katy and Nick’s wedding, we were on a plane to Orlando to photograph Alexis and Rich’s wedding the next morning. I told you wedding season has been a bit crazy! :)
This wedding was so colorful and happy. Alexis was so inspired by Erin and Rick’s wedding on our blog a few years back and added some of the same touches to her wedding day. I loved so many things about this wedding, but maybe these two details most of all! It’s so rare that we see a tea length wedding dress, and check out that bouquet!! Tara at Green Cycle Designs on Etsy made that out of recycled park maps!!
Fun fact : Flower girls are the best at putting on a bride’s shoes because they’re closer to the ground. ;)
Looooove that her girls wore seersucker! <3
Then it was on to their Small World-inspired wedding reception! <3
Alexis and Rich, we look forward to sharing more soon! <3
Kim contacted us, in her words, when she and Christopher had “been engaged for 100 years and finally settled on a hopeful date.” :)
These guys were married at Walt Disney World on Halloween, and were our first ever Halloween couple! We didn’t know what to expect on the Halloween wedding spectrum, from all their guests dressing up and some sort of themed bridal party or goth look for the bride and groom to a totally “normal” wedding that just happened to fall on Halloween. Theirs happened to fall in the latter category, and aside from their DJ slipping in a few Halloween songs, you’d never even know it was October 31st on their wedding day. In fact, going back through their wedding photos, I had to remind myself that their wedding was around Halloween, and not the middle of April with their amazingly bright and happy color palette!
My favorite story from meeting Kim and Christopher was when Kim told us the moment she knew she and Christopher would be together forever: He had a bar of Mickey soap from the Disney hotels in the 90’s on his computer desk… And she keeps one on hers! Hearing that reminded me of when Nate and I had been dating for a few months when I glanced at him typing in his PIN number- It was the SAME AS MINE! Sometimes you just know right off the bat they’re “the one,” sometimes you just know and then the universe hits you over the head with it a few times to make sure you reeeeeeeeeally know. ;)
I looooooove rehearsal dinner dessert parties! So fun to meet everyone ahead of time, and I love seeing our couples all nervous and excited about the next day.
I know I tweeted this around their wedding, but I cannot look at these photos without the theme song to “World of Color” being stuck in my head and it makes me soooooo happy. Also, paper flowers are my new favorite. I love the thought of having them to keep forever. :)
“I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a plenty…” <3
Kim has connected with other Disney runners on Facebook, so when she posted in a group that she was getting married, these guys came to the Yacht Club Gazebo to cheer her on! So fun. :)
Kim and Christopher had their reception at Ariel’s at the Yacht Club. Every table was themed to a different land. :)
Can you name that song?
They had some extra special guests drop by. :)
Then it was off for some photo time outside of the Magic Kingdom!
My favorite. And darn it, I want those shoes!!
Kim and Christopher, thank you for having us and we hope you’re still loving newlywed life!! :)
