Michelle and I became Twitter buddies a few years ago and know each other because she’s part of the incomparable Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons team. When her roommate and best friend Matthew was in need of a family session last year, she sent him our way and we’ll forever be grateful- his family session at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn is an unforgettable favorite. (If you need to remind yourself of which shoot I’m talking about, you can see the best looking family ever here!)
I was so excited when she and Matthew asked us to shoot a roommate session for them! There were a few ideas tossed around of where to go and what to do, but I’m so glad we ended up doing downtown Celebration, if just because Nate got one of my favorite photos of 2013 with the early morning fog… I mean, really. If we had a studio, you’d better believe this baby would be on a 30×40″ canvas!
Matthew is an incredible stylist (as if you couldn’t tell from his family session at the Boardwalk Inn!), but I think he really outdid himself this time. :)
Is it weird that I wanna be best friends with them just so I can look at them all the time?!
Matthew, I absolutely adore you.
Michelle, I think this one’s my favorite of you!!! <3
Favorite moment of the session? Michelle asked a random guy walking his huge greyhound on the street if we could use it for a photo, and he looked a bit concerned about how the dog would do. We told him no worries and went on our way. About a half hour later, he came back with a different greyhound for us to play with! :) I’m so happy he did, because I’m pretty sure this moment belongs on Celebration, Florida’s home page!
Dear Michelle and Matthew, thank you SO much for the fun time. Can we please make it a yearly tradition? And can we please be friends so I can stare at your pretty faces whenever I want? Seriously- Thank you soooo much- Hope you love the photos! :)

oh man.. yeah, I want to be their best friend too! I don’t think they could handle just how UN-fashionable I am though! I love everything about this shoot, but mostly the bow ties! Bravo once again Roots!
I want you to be friends with them too, so you can have more photo sessions with them and put them on your blog so I can look at their pretty pictures too! :)
Love the styling!
That last one should totally be an add for Celebration! Great job Roots!
BEYOND gorgeous – I love them AND their style… and I’ve never met them :)
What a wonderful photoshoot! I absolutely LOVE your photography — the love, the affection, the friendship . . . and most especially how you capture the essence of not only the moment but of the person. A rare gift <3
Thank you for sharing it with us :)
