Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Dani and Dan were married at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort last week, and we were so excited to be a part of it.
My favorite getting ready photo, ever. :)
What’s more relaxing after your wedding than a quick loop around the Walt Disney World Monorail for some wedding photos? Absolutely nothing!
Dani and Dan, we can’t wait to share the rest soon! :)
I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but I have the most horrid fake British accent. I like using it because it’s the quickest way to make Nate laugh, but the truth is… I sound like an awful, awful slightly-southern version of Dick Van Dyke’s Bert in Mary Poppins. I actually used to *think* I had it pretty well set, but judging by the reactions of my closest friends and family, I seem to be ‘accent deaf’ like people are tone deaf!
That being said, I love a good British accent, so any time we get a booking from a couple across the pond, I get so excited to spend the day listening to their friends and family speak! Alex and Steve were no exception, and this wedding day was full of “lorries” and “lifts” and “spoonfuls of sugar.” Ok, I may have added that last one in for fun, but you get the picture. :)
Alex and Steve got ready at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, where they had a kick-ass view of the savannah.
Patricia LeJeune’s team was on hand, so we knew the day would begin smoothly. :)
Alex’s bridesmaids reminded me so much of Katie and Hayley, the bridesmaids at Victoria and Jack’s wedding. SO sweet and supportive- I’m officially taking applications for British best friends, if anyone’s interested! ;)
Alex made her bouquet from a vintage lampshade!
You know I have a special place in my heart for our teary grooms. <3
FAVORITE!
I promise we were happy to be there. ;)
Part two coming up next with some especially dapper guests. ;)

Thank you, Sara, for today’s post! :)
I had never heard of a first look before planning our own wedding, but after seeing
pictures I loved the idea immediately. It’s such a special moment when you first
see each other on your wedding day and I didn’t like the idea of sharing that with
everyone. I also thought it was a great way to get all the pre-wedding jitters out
of the way and I couldn’t imagine not being able to speak to Ryan until after the
ceremony. This seemed like the best both worlds, we could have a private moment
together and get great pictures! We weren’t worried about superstitions and since
we were having a destination wedding there were also time concerns since the
reception was immediately following the ceremony.
Looking back I am so glad we did a first look. Not only was it a great moment for
the two of us, but it allowed us to get all the bridal party shots out of the way before
the ceremony and get a ton of couples shots. The pics from the first look and right
before the ceremony are some of my favorites from the day. And it definitely did
not take any excitement away from the ceremony, if anything, I think it may have
enhanced it.
The best part of the first look was not just the pictures from it, but all the pictures
we were able to get because we did it. I would definitely recommend it to future
brides!
