Deanna + Michael : Everything Else <3

July 22, 2016 by Jensey 2 Comments

Now for more photos from our cruise for Deanna and Michael’s wedding day! (Read about that here first!)

Uncomfortably close for the lifeboat drill! :)

The funniest thing happened when I posted on Facebook that we were about to cruise- It turned out we knew 8 other people on board! It was fun bumping into friends on our way to and from dinner, and we even got to meet up with our past bride Erin and her friends for ice cream at Vanellope’s as soon as we wrapped up our wedding day. :)

Our last day on board was Castaway Cay day! We met up with the newlyweds for some photos around the Disney Dream and the island. <3

I had to!!!! <3

BEST part of the trip? Deanna and Michael’s families rented these private cabanas on the family beach of Castaway Cay. I am so not a beach person, but I’m SO a private cabana on Castaway Cay kind of person!!! <3

Proof we were there. <3

Deanna gave these to all her guests to brush the sand off our feet! We keep ours in the car and I’ve already used it after a beach session- So great!

The whole wonderful group!! <3

Deanna and Michael, we can’t thank y’all enough for bringing us along on your adventure. Hope to see ya real soon! <3

Deanna + Michael : Disney Cruise Line Wedding on the Disney Dream

July 20, 2016 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Destination weddings are always an adventure, but that increases 10 fold when it’s on a Disney Cruise.

We were thrilled when Deanna and Michael asked us to join them on board to document their wedding! This was our second wedding to shoot on the Disney Dream, the first being Krystal and Ben’s. Krystal’s ceremony took place on Castaway Cay, but this was to be our first wedding in the atrium of the Disney Dream. It was absolutely stunning!

The best part about this wedding were the people getting married. Deanna and Michael became quick friends, and their families welcomed us with open arms! Deanna’s family has cruised more times than they could count, and a large majority of their guests were friends they’ve made while on Disney cruises!

Nate and I were able to photograph their legal ceremony while the boat was docked at Cape Canaveral, and then shot their welcome party too. <3

Fact : I could photograph wedding details in the Roy Disney suite every day of the week and twice on Sunday. <3

These shoe photos!!! <3

Deanna, you were STUNNING.

Michael didn’t look so bad, either!

First look on Deck 4, my favorite!. <3

So. Many. Favorites. <3

FAVORITE. <3

Then it was off to the D Lounge for cake and champagne! <3

Yay!! Next up, photos from the rest of our cruise! :)

My abs are still sore from laughing during this shoot.

Alex and Josh were married one of the first years we started Root Photography, and it was so fun to catch up with them! Turns out a lot can happen in ~8 years, and we loved meeting their silly daughters!! Nate and I both agree that this was a favorite-ever shoot for us, so hopefully you agree! <2

I feel ya, Mads. <3

Sometimes you just have to follow the talent’s lead!

Four things: 1- That smirk and lollipop kill me!!. 2- Can we just talk about how precious these OshKosh overall dresses are?! 3- If Madeline were my daughter, every wall of our home would be painted this color to bring out those eyyyyyyes! <3

Alex is the sweetest momma, and I loved seeing how much those girls adore her. <3

Favorite. <3

Nope, this one’s my favorite!! <3

Alex, Josh, Madeline, and Eloise, thank you soooooo much for hanging out with us and we hope to do it again soon!!! :)

Ohhhh, what an adorable difference *3* months makes! I can’t believe this kiddo!

This sweet family lives in our neighborhood! Josh, Holly, and Aubrey are three of our cutest neighbors and we love that Holly has made it a point to document her daughter’s first year. <3
