May 13, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Jennifer has followed this blog for years and once even spotted us in the Boardwalk Inn lobby before a wedding. I was so happy she came to say hi, but even happier when after a couple years of trying to match dates for a family session with us, we were finally able to make it work last year! <3 December sessions are some of my favorites. The weather is gorgeous, most of our photo locations are all decorated… Can it please be Christmastime again already?!

Jennifer, we absolutely loved meeting you and your sweet girls. Thank you so much and we hope to do it again someday!! :)

Meghan + Dave : Providence Biltmore Wedding

May 5, 2016 by Jensey 4 Comments

These two. <3

Admittedly, all I knew about Providence was that it was the setting for a favorite show of mine and my Mom’s when I was young, appropriately titled “Providence.” Well, I can officially say I love that little city, and the 60º weather was such a lovely break from the 90’s we were pushing in Orlando!

Meghan was the maid of honor at a Disney wedding we photographed a few years back. Thanks to the magic of social media, we stayed in touch with these two after the wedding. We were so excited when they got engaged, and even more-so when they asked us to come to Rhode Island for their wedding! :)

If you’ve received a holiday card from us the last two years, you’re already familiar with Dave’s talent and didn’t even know it!

Our card December 2014 :

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnd last year’s, which was maaaaaybe my favorite. <3

A true first for us: Our couple picking us up from the airport!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Meghan and Dave looooove Dungeons and Dragons, and I looooved playing with the awesome dice for their ring photos!!

This was the fortune from a cookie a few months ago that they thought might come in handy for the wedding day. <3

Meghan’s dress in the back and two gifts from bridesmaids in front: One is a wine bottle with Meghan’s name engraved, and the other is a commissioned art piece by the crazy talented Ashley Taylor!

Meghan’s “something old” was so sweet- A hidden heart made from material from bridesmaids dresses she’s worn!

You may remember Liz from her and Bryan’s recent anniversary session in Disneyland! <3

Can you sense a mermaid theme with Meghan’s ensemble? From the dress that reminded her of Ariel’s pink dress when she had dinner with Eric to her scale polished ring fingers to her awesome Ariel-red hair, I loved all the nods to Meghan’s favorite princess. :)

One of my faaaaavorites! <3

Their wedding gifts to each other, and no, it wasn’t planned! ;)

Meghan and Dave were married at the stunning Providence Biltmore, a hotel Jay Gatsby himself would approve of! <3

FAVORITE. <3

That viiiiiiew! <3

Gotta selfie with our #RootLifers! <3

THIS BALLROOM, Y’ALL. <3

Meghan and Dave, we love y’all and hope you love your photos!!! Hope to see you again SOON! <3

Brenda + Gavin : Pop Century Family Portrait Session

April 27, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Brenda and Gavin were two of the winners of our winter portrait giveaway!

They were nominated by looooooong time reader and all-things Root supporter, Tracy. I won’t go into too many details, but Gavin is quite the little fighter with some serious health issues. Walt Disney World is this family’s happy place, specifically their favorite resort Pop Century! We were so excited to meet this sweet family and take some portraits for them. It didn’t take long for the kids to warm up to us, that’s for sure! ;)
