Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Oh, these boys. <3
You might remember Matthew from Michelle and Matthew fame! Matthew reached out about getting some photos with his loves Osmar and Bruno, and we couldn’t have responded “YES!” quick enough! :)
Enjoy this Celebration session- it took me so long to narrow down my favorites! Oh, and make sure you follow Bruno on Instagram. ;)
So. Many. Favorites.

Matthew was referred to us by his roommate Michelle who we’ve never gotten the chance to meet. We’ve been Twitter friends for a couple years now, and I’m so honored she passed her friend our way when he was in the need of a family session! :)
We met Matthew, Nathan, and TJ at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn during our busiest week of the year. We were quite sick, but I think we made it through successfully!
To be completely honest, Nathan and I had never done a shoot like this and had no idea what to expect. Most of our sessions are with parents and their school-age children, but we’ve been doing this long enough we knew we’d be fine. Nate and I had no idea we’d be working with such a loving, photogenic family, which Matthew styled perfectly for Disney’s Boardwalk Inn… I felt like we were on a Walt Disney World promo shoot with professional models. I mean, look at these three!!
Love some morning light!
I think TJ, Matthew’s mom, could pass for Mary Steenburgen’s gorgeous younger sister!
*Swooooooon!*
Matthew, Nathan, and TJ, thank you for making this session so wonderful! We had so much fun and hope to do it again sometime. :)

Y’all… Buddy the elf got it all wrong. The best way to spread Christmas cheer ISN’T singing loud for all to hear; it’s inviting your family and friends to your home on Christmas Eve for a surprise wedding! <3
While we wouldn’t usually take a wedding on our anniversary, Nate and I were in Disneyland when we first got Scott’s inquiry and we both got goosebumps! It wasn’t a matter of “if” we’d make it happen, but how, seeing as we’d have to shuffle some family plans to make it happen. I’ve always wanted to photograph a surprise wedding, and I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend our 9th anniversary afternoon than seeing this beautiful couple exchange vows. <3
This was the beautiful view Scott and Michael’s guests were treated to when they arrived for drinks. :)
Last minute cheat-sheet prep by their close friend and officiant, who also doubled as bartender. I told him he could make a killing here in Orlando combining those two services! ;)
THIS GIRL. <3 I fell in love with Michelle on our first shoot together, and she was 1/2 of the reason we got the incredible honor of photographing this wedding! Scott was going to hire a client’s daughter to shoot the event, and Michelle insisted he hire us. After a few minutes, they realized they were both talking about ME! Scott has cut my step dad’s hair for years! Such a small world. :)
It seemed their guests figured out they were there for a wedding at varying times, but I got to be present for a couple light bulb moments. :)
After everyone arrived, Scott and Michael led us to the back porch for the ceremony.
It took Scott’s sweet mom a good minute into the ceremony to realize her son was getting married!!
I loved Scott’s excitement when Michael put his wedding band on! :)
Every time I look at this photo, I get a lump in my throat. <3
The usual suspects! ;) See more photos of Michelle and Pocket HERE!
Marriage license time!!
The real star of the day- Warren! <3
Our favorite. <3
Scott and Michael, we hope y’all know how much it meant to us to be a part of this exciting chapter in your story!! From one Christmas Eve couple to another, we truly wish you the happiest of ever afters. Cheers, friends!!
