Mary + Jordan : Windermere Country Club Wedding Reception

July 16, 2013 by Jensey 2 Comments

Continued from Mary and Jordan’s Wedding Part I. :)

We didn’t even know until their wedding day that Mary and Jordan actually found us through one of our favorite past couples, Katie and Jordan! Katie and Mary’s moms are best friends and Katie’s mom was sweet enough to pass our name along when Mary got engaged. Love mommas who help keep us in business! It was such a happy surprise to bump into our past-bride-now-new-momma Katie at Mary’s ceremony. :)

Just married faces! :)

As I mentioned in their first blog post, there was pretty limited time between Mary and Jordan’s ceremony and reception, so Nate and I zipped back to the Windermere Country Club for some quick detail photos, then it was on to the first dance. My favorite detail Mary had at her reception was this chalkboard timeline- Notice anything funny about those dates?!

In their first post, I mentioned how Mary and Jordan not only opted for a first look, but they also let us steal them away for some sunset photos during dinner. Nate grabbed this shot, which I love ’cause Mary’s pose reminds me of the Beauty and the Beast ballroom scene. :)

Gotta love a southern girl who sports her new monogram initials at her reception! <3

Our first “Weekend at Bernie’s” dance experience. :)

Mary and Jordan, we so loved being a part of your wedding day!!!

Mary + Jordan : Church of the Ascension Wedding in Orlando

July 15, 2013 by Jensey 4 Comments

Mary and Jordan’s Orlando wedding this past spring was truly a favorite. You could tell the kind of girl Mary was by how much her family and friends absolutely adored her. She was so excited to marry Jordan, and her excitement was infectious. One of my favorite things about this wedding was how close she and her best friend Tori are! Tori kept Mary stress-free and giggling all morning. :)

It’s just not fair for women to be this gorgeous!

Time between their ceremony and reception were limited, so we were pumped when Mary and Jordan opted for a first look! We were even more pumped when Mary insisted on sneaking out during the reception for even more photos at sunset. :)

See that charm attached to Mary’s bouquet? When her dad was 5, he brought it home for his mom! Mary’s grandma saved it all these years and that was Mary’s something old. :)

Mary and Jordan started their day at the Windermere Country Club, their reception venue, so we got to play on their gorgeous property for photo time. :)

I know I shared these on the Root Photography Facebook page around Father’s Day, but I have to one more time- After doing a first look with Jordan, she did one with her daddy- So sweet. :)
