The Root Photography Blog

It’s hard to believe Kirstie and Danny first contacted us over two *years* ago about possibly shooting their wedding!!

They came all the way from the UK to have their Disney wedding. Unfortunately Florida weather didn’t understand the gravity of this situation and it rained most of the day! But we still got great photos, and more importantly, made two new great friends. :)

Kicking off their blog post with a Root selfie because Danny asked to take it with Mickey and Minnie and we’ve never gotten to do that before!! In case you couldn’t tell from the size of the smiles on our faces! :)

They’d decorated their room for Christmas since they stayed over the holidays, which meant fun props for ring photos! We have the same Chip and Dale nutcrackers at our house! <3

First look time at the Grand Floridian! Look at the anticipation on Danny’s faaaaace! <3

Mary Poppins is Danny’s favorite movie, so of course we had to take photos with my fountain! <3

Looooove this photo by Nate <3

Rainy but still magical! <3

Those hidden paw print cakes <3

This was their best man, Oliver! Oliver’s son’s name was Finn! I couldn’t believe it! (*Our* son’s name is Oliver, and our dog is Huckleberry Finn, lol!)

Kirstie and Danny, thank you so much for having us- Let’s do it again!!!! <3

PAIGE AND ERNIE ARE MARRIED!!!

Fun fact: Paige and Ernie got engaged at Walt Disney World. Shortly after the proposal, Ernie was making small talk with a PhotoPass photographer and asked if they knew of any good Orlando wedding photographers. This person sent them to us and they ended up booking!! Ahh! I wish I knew their name so I could send a thank you note or give a big hug or high five! We are so thankful, so if you happen to be reading this, THANK YOU! <3

It felt like we waited forever for this day to arrive!! I’ve been stalking Ernie’s Instagram since Nate told me he has an account for his Disney park photography! (You should totally go follow him.) He and Paige were a match made in marching band history and their day was full of love, friends who adore them, excellent jumpers, and one particularly impressive triangle performance by Ernie’s best man at the reception! ;)

We had such a wonderful team of friends making this day happen! I love that when 2019 began, we’d never met Jess of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and now two weddings in, we can’t wait to work with her smiling face again in February! They were married at Bella Collina, my favorite Orlando wedding venue, Jim from FyerFly kept the dance floor packed, and this was the first wedding our pal Kim tried her hand at videography! Nate and I were smiling from the moment we picked up our cameras until we went to bed feeling like we’d made two great new friends. <3

Thank you to this team for making our part of the puzzle so easy! :)
