Lindsay + Cody : Take Two Proposal

by 1 Comment

When their wedding moved to plan B, and then C, Lindsay and Cody ended up having a small ceremony in South Carolina with plans to celebrate with the rest of their loved ones the following year. Cody wanted to make sure their big 2nd wedding still felt special for Lindsay, so he even planned a second proposal for her!! He reached out to Nate who helped plan a casual bump in at the Grand Floridian to capture the moment. When Lindsay spotted him, Nate played surprised, saying he was waiting to start a session with another couple. He asked them to test out the light in a spot he’d be photographing the couple in, and Cody got down on one knee, *completely* surprising Lindsay!!⁠

Liz + Bryan : Disneyland Anniversary Session

by 6 Comments

Oh, to be a west coast photographer. <3

I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’m so jealous of the opportunities Disneyland photographers have! Since Disney Fine Art Photography doesn’t exist on the west coast, outside photographers are just “photographers” and allowed to shoot in-park sessions. In park weddings, even! And bride and groom sessions in the park!!! I’m always swooning at the photos that come from out there. Maybe it’s just because of the new limitations regarding resort photo sessions out here, but I’m in the mood to reminisce about our Disneyland anniversary session with these two. :)

We photographed Liz and Bryan’s wedding in Orlando years ago, and when she wrote us asking if we’d come out to Disneyland for their anniversary session, my fingers couldn’t type out “YES!!” fast enough!! We love these guys, and their session happened to fall during Disneyland’s 60th anniversary, so I’m extra grateful they gave us the chance! We added a few days on to the trip, obviously, and I’ll be posting some of those photos over on my JenseyLoves blog in the near future. <3

We started the session in Nate and my favorite spot probably in the whole park- Brisa Courtyard at the Grand Californian Hotel. We waited forever for a monorail to pass, but no luck. I love the photos we got in the meantime, though! :)

Liz’s favorite ride is The Haunted Mansion, so we snuck around for some photos around the house. They hadn’t opened the extended queue yet, so I love that we got some empty photos at her favorite place! :)

Favorite. :)

Root Photography Blog - Disneyland Grand Californian Wedding Reception

Mindy and Tim’s reception was at the Grand Californian Hotel, where we’d photographed Victoria and Brian’s wedding the year prior. Tim and Mindy held their cocktail hour at my favorite Disneyland wedding venue- Brisa Courtyard, where the monorails pass overhead. <3

Tim and Mindy’s tables at the reception were named after their favorite television shows as a couple. Tim is actually a writer for one of our favorite shows, so that bumps their cool points as a couple to #1. :)
