Katie + Juan : Epcot Wedding Reception

November 7, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Katie and Juan met in veterinary school. Katie now works in general practice, and Juan works in emergency medicine, and we basically spent the day just telling stories to these guys about Huck and the Goldendoodle we hoped to bring home this year and like good vets, they eagerly grinned along! <3 They also happen to be big Disney lovers so it wasn’t a surprise when these guys decided that was where they wanted to get married, too!

Those Nate Root dress shots, y’all. <3

Easily one of my favorite first look reactions of the year!!

When the Mamas cry, I cry. EVERY time. <3

I love that Juan had a giddy reaction during the first look but emotional one when Katie walked down the aisle.

Off to Italy Isola for their reception!!

 

     

Katie and Juan, it was an absolute honor!! Thank you for having us! :)

Holly + Megan : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

July 29, 2022 by Jensey 1 Comment

Holly and Megan met in college but quickly realized there was something more there. A house, a couple kittens, and oh, 18 years later, they reached out to us about photographing their wedding! Megan surprised Holly with a proposal on a private fireworks cruise a around Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon. Covid meant their original wedding date and plans had to shift a bit, but as we’ve learned the past two years, love is *very* patient and I think their day ended up just the way it was meant to be. <3

Following the theme of delayed timelines and backup plans for their wedding, Holly and Megan’s ceremony got moved from an outdoor location at the Polynesian to a covered patio at the Grand Floridian. It was an emotional call to make in the moment, but we were lucky enough to still get to take some portraits where the wedding would have been. And the rain backup meant they got to add another photo location, monorails and all!

Holly’s late mother was nearby all day with this sweet tribute in her bridal clutch. <3

They are both incredibly close with their brothers, so it was only right to have a special first look with them, too. <3

Their floral was so unique!! <3

I love when couples do a “ring warming” ceremony and pass them around for family and friends to hold and think good thoughts. Our pal Melissa at Disney Weddings made sure to help out the ring bearer! <3

PERFECT cake topper when you’re getting married after two decades of being together! :)

Holly and Megan got engaged while watching this fireworks show, so it was extra special to watch it again on their wedding night. <3

One of our most favorite venues- the Napa Room at California Grill <3

Holly and Megan, it was an absolute honor being a small part of your day!!! <3

Jennifer + Raphael : December Disney Wedding

December 15, 2021 by Jensey Leave a Comment

For the first time in years, Nate and I will be taking the last two weeks of December off. We’re moving into our forever home days before Christmas!!

SO with that being said, I’m trying to get some preview photos for everyone since we won’t have the rest of their photos done for another 4-6 weeks when we’re back in an office again! <3

First up? Jennifer and Raphael. <3

I don’t know where to start with these two except to say I think if I could clone a Root couple, this may just be the one I’d choose!

Our closest friends and family have heard about Raphael for the past 18 months from Oliver. Raph was so kind to give our fire truck-loving four year old a tour of Reedy Creek’s Fire Station and he has been in our daily conversations ever since. (Not a single ounce of exaggeration there!)

Jennifer is a true picture of beauty and patience- graciously rolling with every punch Covid took to her wedding plans. I think this was the third(?) date she booked with us and I was overjoyed for them that this one stuck. Between the perfect weather and Voices of Liberty singing holiday songs during their wedding reception, it’s hard to imagine this wedding *not* taking place in December!

Because they’ve waited faaaaar too long for some wedding photos, I’m not gonna make them wait anymore. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Ollie had a cell phone, this would 10000% be his lock screen photo! <3

Oscar-level gorgeous!!

THIS. FIRST. LOOK.

They had the sweetest private vow exchange during their first look!

Top ten favorite wedding moment everrrrr right here! Voices of Liberty. <3

Jennifer and Raphael, you’re gonna be stuck with us forever! We love y’all to pieces. <3
