Rachel + Rhys : Summer Wedding at Disney’s Sea Breeze Point

by 1 Comment

Without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite meet cutes I’ve ever heard: Rachel hired Rhys to be her ski instructor for a week. Lessons turned to coffee, coffee turned to dinner, and before they knew it, they were in love. <3
Rhys proposed to Rachel where else?! On top of a snowy mountaintop! Rachel said she was *terrified* to drop the ring in the snow and lose it forever! But fear not- The ring made it home and Rachel planned her dream wedding across the pond in Walt Disney World. That’s right- They got engaged in the snow and married on one of the hottest summer days we’ve ever photographed! :)
Hair & Makeup : Beaute Speciale
Bridesmaids Dresses : Chi Chi London
Groom and Groomsmen Suits/Tuxes : Torre Royal Blue morning suit from Dobell

Their ceremony took place at Sea Breeze Point at Disney’s Boardwalk! :)

Every ceremony should end with a pinky promise. <3

Rachel and Rhys, thank you for letting us be a part of your daaaay!! <3

Robin + Eric : Romantic Wedding at Walt Disney World

by 1 Comment

Even before officially booking her date with Disney, Robin reached out and asked us to be her wedding photographers! :)

It seemed like everyone we spoke with at the wedding was in agreement that these two are a perfect fit. One of the first conversations Robin and Eric had was the fact that their kids shared the same name- Cameron and Kamren! Now that they’re a family, they go by Cam and Kami to save some confusion. :)

Some of my favorite things about their wedding day: KIDS GALORE! There was no lack of laughter, that’s for sure! Robin had not one but TWO stunning gowns and I’m so hoping this continues to be a trend for our Root brides! ;)

Officiant: Renee Silverman
Entertainment: DJ Charles Miles
Bridesmaids Dresses: Sorella Vita #9068  in Vintage Rose
Groom and Groomsmen Suits/Tuxes: Ike Behar- Randall’s Formal Wear of Pensacola
Invitations: Themes Come True

Look. At. These. Dresses. <3

Oh hi Stacie!

One of my favorite ceremony shots everrrrr! <3

MARRIED! :)

Robin and Eric, it was such an honor! Thank you for having us!! :)

THE ROOTS TAKE ON THE DISNEY DREAM!!

You may have seen a few of my favorite photos in this post when we shared our Toddler’s Guide to the Disney Cruise Line!

If you liked that post, you should keep reading, because this one has moooore photos! And if you didn’t like it there might be something wrong with you. Because LOOK AT THIS TINY PIRATE!

We got to go on our first family cruise when Nate and I photographed Katrina and Josh’s wedding! 

While we photographed the wedding, Ollie was moving in to their Small World Nursery and he did. not. want. to. leave!!! But first things first- Boarding the ship!

Anyone who’s done a Disney Cruise knows how they greet you on the ship and this was my first time pushing a stroller through the clapping and waving Mickey hands and it made me so emotional! But imagine our surprise when we had a team of the happiest friends skipping and running towards us to greet us- The Switzerfilm team was also on board to shoot the wedding and heard our names being announced and it was the most fun start to the trip!

Ollie saw Joe’s captain hat and immediately requested to wear it. Oliver can be a tough toddler to befriend, but share a hat and bam! Best friends!

This poor kid finally gets a grasp on what a boat is and then he’s introduced to cruise ships! He boarded knowing what a boat was and left thinking every building was a boat, lol!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. Also only as a photo memory because in person I was terrified every time he’d touch the railing that it would break and he would fall in because I’m THAT mom.

I cannot. <3

A highlight of the trip was picking Ollie up from the Small World daycare on pirate night and bringing home a reeeeeal baby pirate!!!!

THOSE. CURLS. MY. HEART. <3

My whole entire heart in one photo! Look at how cute my people are!!

“He’ll LOVE the splash pad,” they said.

HATED. IT.

The one part that he liked until he slipped on a wet tile and cried for the next 30 minutes. :/

MORNING OLLIE IS THE BEST OLLIE.

Just kidding! FIST BUMPING OLLIE IS THE BEST OLLIE!

Something tells me he’s not gonna like these guys any more on the next cruise, but at least I’ll be putting him in a cute matching outfit to cuten up those tears! ;)

If you read the Toddler Guide, you know he constantly thought this photo was Nate!!!!

Look at that blue water!!! This is what I try to focus on when I’m fighting my panic about my PRIDE AND JOY LEANING UP ON GLASS SO HIGH UP OMGOMGOMG.

Every Ollie is the best Ollie. <3

Our feelings about the cruise being over! This one was so different than relaxing cruises past- But so, so, so much fuller. Let’s see how the next one goes now that he’s learned to say “No.” <3
