Jamie + Seth : Engagement Photos at Disney’s Riviera
P Family : Beach Maternity Session
Adrienne + Mike : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding
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. :)
Oh, hi! :)
Adrienne and Mike, thank you for such a memorable day!!! We can’t wait to meet baby B!!! <3
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
