Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Sara, you are truly Disney Princess worthy. And I don’t say that often. ;)
When Sara asked us for outside florist recommendations, we sent her to our favorite- Lee Forrest! I’ve never seen the Disney Wedding Pavilion look more gorgeous!
Sara and Ryan, happy honeymoon! Say hello to Hawaii for me! :)
Every now and then in our Disney weddings, our couples have a moment in the ceremony when the best man is supposed to hand over the wedding rings, only to find they’re gone. At that moment, Major Domo shows up with the rings in hand to save the day. What I loved about Cassie’s wedding was that she worked with her wedding planner to create a completely new character to show up with the rings- Vera Tidey!
When we left off in the last post with the best man holding the empty ring box, Vera Tidy ran up and saved the day, feather duster and all. :)
She kindly interrupted the wedding, explaining she was a housekeeper at the Grand Floridian and found Cassie and John’s wedding rings under their best man’s bed. :)
She then proceeded to give him a hard time about other things, including having not proposed to his long time girl friend!
You can see Simply Cinematic’s video capture of the whole thing here! :)
Soon Vera left and it was back to business…
Some of the sweetest bridesmaids we’ve ever had (thank GOODNESS, because we spent the next 4 days with them!!)
It was absolutely freezing, but you’d never know it looking at Cassie smiling. :)
Photo time at “my” fountain. ;)
Yet another favorite. LOVE the flower in her hair!
Cassie, you were absolutely stunning! So timeless.
Some wedding crashers stopped by the breakfast afterward:
I wish all of our weddings served breakfast!! Or at least fed us Mickey waffles. ;)
I love when characters at our weddings really bond with the littlest guests! :)
Whenever our couples ask for recommendations on videographers, the first name we send is our buddy Rainer at Simply Cinematic! He shot along with us for Cassie and John’s big day, and you can see their highlight video here:

When Nathan and I met Cassie and John, they were debating whether to get married in front of Cinderella Castle or on Castaway Cay. They settled for something a little in between- the marina at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, with a reception on the Disney Cruise Line. Yep. You read that right! ;)
Cassie was checking out the progress on her ceremony site when we got to her room that morning:
Cassie surprised her flower girls with Beauty and the Beast snow globes. :)
Bridesmaids delivering John’s wedding gift. :)
Since Disney doesn’t allow dogs to be a part of their wedding ceremonies, Cassie had to improvise John’s gift a bit; She wrapped up photos of the session we did with Molly with a pink dog collar. :)
How gorgeous was her Kirstie Kelly wedding gown?!
One of my favorites. :)
These next two are some of my all time favorites! <3
Cassie’s aunt, an accomplished jazz singer, sang When You Wish Upon A Star as Cassie walked down the aisle. :)
I LOVE emotional grooms. My favorite from the day. :)
When it came time to do the ring exchange, the best man’s box was empty! You’ll have to check back on Wednesday to see what happens next. :)
