The Root Photography Blog

Nate has known Lindsay for a quarter of a century.

Back when she was his annoying little sister’s best friend and he’d try to convince her she had broccoli stuck in her teeth. :)

Honestly, it’s a darn miracle that Lindsay asked us to be her wedding photographers! I’ve watched her grow from my sister-in-law’s adorable high school best friend and got to know her better when we were Jessie’s bridesmaids. Now it’s her turn!!

Lindsay, it meant so much to be a part of your and Dave’s day and I can’t think of a better wedding to not only kick off 2021, but remind us of the weddings we have to look forward to. I finally feel like we’re really turning a corner here, and your day was just the bright spot we’ve been needing. <3

I hope you love your photos as much as we loved making them!! We wish y’all the absolute best and can’t wait to watch the life you build together! 🙂

*This* was the smile we were greeted with. Does it get any better?!

My sister-in-law was the matron of honor, so Jess gets some extra bridesmaid love in this post! :)

Lindsay kept her dress a secret from almost all of her bridesmaids, and I *think* this shows their approval! <3

They were married at The Barn at Crescent Lake, just down the road from their home. :)

Oh, how I’ve missed this vieeeeeeew! <3

Lindsay, QUEEN of the over-the-shoulder smolder!

These mama portraits! <3

If you don’t have games to play during your cocktail hour, you’re doing it wrong! (And serious thanks to this sweet couple for letting me hang around an uncomfortable amount of time to get this photo, lol!)

The real MVPs for getting Lindsay and Dave’s drinks while we wrapped up portraits! :)

CAN. WE. TALK. ABOUT. THIS. LIGHT!!!

First dance love. <3

Lindsay and Dave, we love y’all!!! Thank you for having us!!! <3

Amanda has been following our work for years, since our very first Disney wedding, Carrie and Patrick! <3

Catie and Amanda met through work where they’re both oncology nurses. They live in Jacksonville but spend a lot of time at Disney, where both proposals took place. They’ve known they wanted a wedding at the Swan and Dolphin since the beginning, and we were extra excited, because we’ve never done a wedding there! This was our first post-Covid wedding on property, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I had a little lump in my throat walking through the Boardwalk lobby with my camera!

Special thanks to this vendor team! <3

Even now when Amanda’s laces become untied around her parents, her dad ties them. :) Amanda made sure he had the honor on her wedding day to tie her wedding shoes. <3

First looooook!

I was blown away by how the Swan and Dolphin handled everything! Their wedding cake was safely behind glass but still visible to guests.

Favorite part of every wedding: our check in with Ollie during dinner! This was him serenading us with his “flute,” just a drumstick he’s blowing, lol.
