Katrina + Steven : Orlando Destination Wedding Photographer

by 1 Comment

It all began with a marriage proposal on their 7 year anniversary! Katrina and Steven are from England, and Steven popped the question while on a trip to New York. :)

It was an absolute honor to photograph this wedding day along with some of our favorite friendors- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup and Joe and Kristen of Switzerworld! I’m so excited to see their finished film! :)

Kicking things off with my favorite! <3

This vintage ring box held Katrina’s grandmother’s ring. :)

I love a good custom ring box, especially when there are floating lanterns involved! <3

Real-life fairy godmother- Stacie of Fairytale Hair and Makeup. <3

One of my all time favorite father/daughter first looks- Equal parts silly and sweet.

Katrina, you made a gorgeous bride! <3

This moment. <3

Just a little pre-reception gaming in the arcade next door! <3

Post-cake smash icing in your hair? I got your back! ;)

Last dance squeeze with Kristen! :)

Katrina and Steven, thank you for having us!! :)

Robin + Eric : Romantic Wedding at Walt Disney World

by 1 Comment

Even before officially booking her date with Disney, Robin reached out and asked us to be her wedding photographers! :)

It seemed like everyone we spoke with at the wedding was in agreement that these two are a perfect fit. One of the first conversations Robin and Eric had was the fact that their kids shared the same name- Cameron and Kamren! Now that they’re a family, they go by Cam and Kami to save some confusion. :)

Some of my favorite things about their wedding day: KIDS GALORE! There was no lack of laughter, that’s for sure! Robin had not one but TWO stunning gowns and I’m so hoping this continues to be a trend for our Root brides! ;)

Charlotte + David : Romantic Disney Wedding

by 1 Comment

It’s Charlotte and David’s blog day!!! :)

You might remember Charlotte and David’s engagement session if you ever mistook one of our brides for Zooey Deschanel! :) I was dying to photograph this day ever since Nate took their engagement photos around downtown Winter Garden. :)

Charlotte and David traveled all the way from the UK to get married! When 16 year old Charlotte took a family vacation to Walt Disney World, she caught a glimpse of the Wedding Pavilion from the ferry and knew she’d be back to get married there some day. Well, spoiler alert: Her dream came true and it was such a lovely day, and not just because I got to listen to their delightful accents for 10 hours! :)

There is no way to put into words how much we loved these two, so I’ll just leave you with Charlotte’s wedding vows, which made me fall in love with their love!

“You’ve literally made my dreams come true today because you love me- possibly too much- and knew it meant the world to me. I love your kindness, your handsome face, your loyalty, and your patience. I love how much you love me, the way you look at me, and that you put up with my constant singing. I love your bad jokes, your dodgy dancing, and of course your bum! I am so thankful for all the memories we have shared, our funny first date because your brothers canceled on you, the sweet way you asked me to be your girlfriend, and your face when you saw how much I could eat for breakfast. I promise to keep reminding you your kabobs on the way home are unhealthy and to wear lots of sun cream because I want to live long happy lives by each other’s side. You are and will always be my greatest adventure and I’m so excited for all we’ve got before us.”

Huge thanks to our wonderful vendor friends for making this day so magical, but the most thanks goes to this sweet couple. Charlotte and David, we can’t wait to catch up again on your future trips back here!!

Look at the little hidden Mickey on David’s wedding band!!! <3

This one of Charlotte’s Mum watching her daughter get dressed gives me alllllll the feels. <3

David was the most, most dapper! <3

Charlotte and her father had their first look in front of my Mary Poppins fountain! (I’m just loaning it to the Grand for the time being, but expect to have it back in my front yard soon.)

“Wingardium leviosa!”

One of my many favorites! Looooooved Charlotte’s sweet parents. <3

Hellloooooo, Zooey Deschanel!

Nate and I wanted to adopt all three- British accents and all! <3 <3 <3

After guests enjoyed dinner and toasts on the patio, they headed to the Whitehall Room for dancing and magic lanterns! :)

Look at this wedding cake topper!!!

Their first dance began like any other…

… And morphed into one of the most impressive choreographed dances to a montage of Disney favorites! :)

I don’t have a clue what’s going on here, but I’m obsessed and felt the need to share. More of whatever this is, please! :)

Charlotte and David, we can’t thank you enough for having us. Come back and visit soon!!! :)
