Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Kicking things off with a little behind-the-scenes with my muffin. <3
That photo on the left? Maybe a top 10 all time favorite!
Then it was off to the American Adventure Rotunda for a party!
Shredder’s reception representation! <3
Work husbands! <3
Oh Janelle, it was an honor to be a part of this!!! Vow renewal soon? <3
The more Nate gets booked out for solo weddings, the more I wonder what the heck does he need ME for?! I feel like he truly does the work of two photographers on days like this one!! I get so excited to see what he comes away with on days that I’m home with Ollie, and Jessica and Erik’s day just blew me away. <3
This first photo alone… I meeeeeeean!!! <3
The night before their wedding, Jessica and Erik had a dessert party to welcome their guests to their Disney wedding weekend!!
We definitely have our favorite pavilions when it comes to dessert parties, and UK Lochside has been top of the list since our very first Disney wedding. You just can’t beat this view. :)
Jessica’s first look with her dad. <3
Gosh this view and this sunset!!!
Stepped out from their ceremony and the Magic Kingdom fireworks were going off!!
We’ve had a ton of receptions at the GM Lounge in Epcot and I’m not at alllllll mad about it!!
Jessica and Eric, thank you for having Nate photograph your daaaay!!! <3
This wedding was a loooooong time coming: Kari and Chris met in high school! Engaged years later, their wedding plans were put through the ringer with Covid. Their day ended up being just perfect; it was even one of those very rare not-too-hot-and-not-too-cold Orlando winter days!
Thank you to our wonderful vendor team for making a happy day! :)
Venues | Disney’s Wedding Pavilion and GM Lounge
Hair and Makeup | Stacie Otto
Officiant | Reverend Kevin Knox
We started the day in Kari’s suite at Coranado’s Gran Destino Tower, and let. me. tell. you- favorite getting ready room everrrr!! The space, the natural light flooding in, all the textures and details; it was absolutely stunning. And getting ready at the Gran Destino Tower means you get THIS wall for your wedding dress photos!
I’m always hoping for unique details to photograph our couples’ rings with and I may have been a liiiiiittle excited to play with this Figment popcorn bucket! <3
There are a million reasons to hire Stacie Otto for your hair and makeup, but one of the biggest is no one can lace a wedding dress better or more efficiently than her! <3
First look feels on the lawn. <3
If you’ve never seen a Disney wedding with “Major Domo,” here’s how it normally goes: your officiant asks the best man for the wedding rings, and he panics. Like…. Panics. The officiant gives him a hard time in front of all of your guests, then loudly calls, “does ANYONE here have the rings?” and bam! Major Domo graces his way down the aisle to deliver them. :)
Their getaway car was Chris’s. <3
Nate’s photo on the left, mine on the right. :)
Woot woot! Kari and Chris, thank you so much for having usssss!!!! <3
