Deanna + Michael : Disney Cruise Line Wedding Preview

March 2, 2016 by Jensey 10 Comments

It’s so rare we get to photograph cruise line weddings, and this one even happened to take place on my favorite boat! Such a Dream. <3

Deanna and Michael and 60 of their nearest and dearest cruised together to celebrate their wedding. Deanna is no stranger to the Disney Cruise Line- When I asked her how many times she’s sailed, she said she lost count! We loved this whole group and couldn’t be happier to have Deanna and Michael join our Root Photography family. <3

Oh, no big deal, Deanna just got ready in the Roy O. Disney suite. This was their veranda! *Swooooooon!*

Just two of my favorites from the day- This first look!! <3

Stunning.

Dream come true ceremony location!!

The next morning, we stole our newlyweds away for some photos around Castaway Cay. :)

Best. Wedding. Group. Ever. <3

Deanna and Michael, we can’t thank y’all enough for your love and hospitality! We can’t wait to share the rest of your photos in the coming weeks! :)

Audrey + Joe : Sandia Resort & Casino Wedding in Albuquerque, NM

November 4, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Audrey and Joe were married at the Sandia Resort in Albuquerque a few weeks ago. I mean… Look at this view from Audie’s getting ready room!! This wedding was extra special of course, because Joe is my cousin! It was such a perfect family reunion, and any wedding with my dad and sister in attendance is pretty much the best kind of wedding. :)

This was Audrey’s great-great-great grandmother’s button hook… I’m 95% sure I put the correct amount of “great’s” in there. ;)

Our faaaaaaaavorites!!! Y’all are gorgeous.

That. Backdrop. You. Guys. <3

Audie and Joe, thank you for having us and being so incredibly patient with your previews. We can’t wait to share the rest soon!!!

Kellie + Derek : Dixon Art Gallery Wedding in Memphis, Tennessee

October 26, 2015 by Jensey 4 Comments

This is our second fall now not living in Tennessee, but our first year not taking a trip back to see the leaves change! It’s hard to plan a yearly trip now since fall is our busiest time of the year, but I’m so thankful we were able to make it back last year for Kellie and Derek’s wedding. This wedding was a favorite of last year, not just because of the gorgeous leaves and the abundance of stunning details all thought up by this creative bride, but also because I’ve known Kellie since I was a senior in high school and she was a freshman. :)

In high school, I took French 1-3, but senior year I decided to take Spanish 1 just for kicks. I was the only senior in a class of freshman, but the girls I met in that class made it one of my favorite classes I ever took! This is now the second wedding we’ve photographed with a bride that was in that Spanish 1 class with me, and we’ll be photographing our 3rd this December. So crazy and so incredibly wonderful!! This was our second wedding at the Dixon Art Gallery in Memphis and I’m still swooning over this location.

Kellie, I wish we could repeat your gorgeous wedding every week. Thank you so much for bringing me home. :)

The only thing more beautiful than that lace gown is the woman wearing it!

And now an abundance of gratuitous detail shots. :)

This dresser greeted their guests and held the programs for the wedding- How cool is that? Also, Kellie designed and made her own letterpress invitations and programs.

Love a groom who knows how to bustle. <3
