During a family trip to Disney when Janelle was young, she and her father happened to wander into an unlocked Wedding Pavilion. Janelle knew immediately that she wanted to be married there someday…

… and years later, *we* had the honor of watching that dream come true!

Janelle got ready at the Grand Floridian, where her butterflies were contagious! <3

Why hello! :)

First look with her dad, in the aisle of an empty Wedding Pavilion, where this whole dream began. <3

And finally the moment I was waiting for… Meeting SHREDDER!

Why yes, he *did* have cufflinks to match Dad!!

Inside each wedding program was a photo of Janelle as a kid in the Pavilion. <3

Check out part two here! :)

Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

by Leave a Comment

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

I love that her maid of honor was Anthony’s youngest sister. <3

Man of many talents- Nate helping Shantel with her shoe decals! :)

It me! <3

I have NEVER seen a bride move so quickly as when she opened her Coke and it almost spilled down her dress! Who decided brides should be married in white again?!?

The most Shantel-y photo to me!! <3

 

Favorite. <3

Juuuust kidding- This one’s my favorite!! <3

Each table had a subtle nod to a fairy tale. <3

THIS BOUQUET TOSS SERIES!!

Our last Illuminations dessert party! <3

Shantel and Anthony, thank y’all 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! ;)
