Lauren + Christian : Wedding

by 8 Comments

Lauren and Christian were married at Rosen Shingle Creek here in Orlando. :) We hadn’t been here in ages- Since Kelly and Mike’s wedding way back in the day! ;)

I loved Lauren’s “something blue!”

The candles wouldn’t light, so everyone improvised. :)

Can you believe all the bridesmaids are wearing the same dress?!  Love it!

We only had less than 5 minutes to photograph the newlyweds, but I think we rocked it! :)

My favorite. :)

I loved all the hard work Lauren put into her details- Lauren and Christian live in Washington D.C., and the wedding had subtle nods to the city- The tables were named after past presidents and their amazing centerpieces looked like cherry blossom trees! Weren’t they gorgeous?!

I love Rosen Single Creek’s ballroom- Guests enjoy the cocktail hour on the balcony before heading downstairs for the reception. :)

Their first dance was to Michael Buble’s Lost.

The DJ led the way for the Electric Slide:

Love the one of Christian’s dad breaking it down!

I can’t believe I’m posting this- Here I’m channeling my inner Elaine and doing my best thumb dance for Nate! :)

Congrats, Lauren and Christian!! :)

Update: Voting is over and we have a winner! HUGE congrats to Lindsey, who said- “I love ‘em! They would be perfect in my kitchen, because they are WAY too cute to get dirty. Since I use my oven for storage, my kitchen would be the safest place in my house!”

Lindsey, send me your mailing address to favoritethings@rootweddings.com, and they’ll be on their way! :)

Thanks, everyone, for entering -I really wish I had 39 things to give out to all 39 of you! See you July 24th! <3


Happy Jensey’s Favorite Things day!! If you were here on the 24th of last month, you saw our very first Jensey’s Favorite Things post. This month, I’m giving away… *drumroll*… Anthropologie dish towels! The description on the website is as follows: “They fell in love, they got married, and they lived happily ever after – a sweet tale told atop this trio of embroidered linens.” Seriously, they’re the cutest dish towels I’ve ever seen and are perfect for newlyweds, or soon-to-be newlyweds!

I know you want ’em! Well, all you have to do is comment and tell me! After 24 hours, I’ll pick a winner and update my post. That person then has 24 hours to send me their address to claim their prize, or I’ll pick another winner. Get it? Good.

Kaitlyn + Tony : Engagement

by 29 Comments

We photographed Kaitlyn and Tony’s engagement session around her parents’ home in Isleworth. Kaitlyn has the kind of beauty that is normally reserved for soap opera stars, or contestants on The Bachelor. ;)

Just when the session couldn’t get any cuter…

… We met Peanut! <3

FAVORITE!

A quick outfit change later, we headed to the club house for some photos and ran into this guy. :)

Doesn’t Kaitlyn almost look like Kelly Ripa in that photo on the left?

Nate’s view:

My view:

Then Kaitlyn and Tony totally raised the bar for our future couples! I mean, seriously! Our brides often joke about jumping in a fountain or pool after the session, but this was a first for us. I loved it. :)

My 2nd favorite… So romantic! :)
