Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Two years ago today, we were in the US Virgin Islands for Julie and Christopher’s wedding. This week, we’re headed to the Bahamas for Taylor and Michael’s big day. If it’s half as wonderful as Julie and Christopher’s wedding, it’s gonna be an amazing trip. :)
I’ve known Julie since middle school and was completely over the moon when she asked Nate and I to photograph her wedding- In the US Virgin Islands! Julie and Christopher and their 25 closest friends celebrated their wedding at the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef on St. Thomas.
If I had my own version of the Sound of Music‘s “My Favorite Things,” somehow wedding gowns with buttons down the back would be in the lyrics. :)
Julie made our job easy. ;)
FAVORITE! :)
We definitely had to be a little creative with how we shot their ceremony- The island photographer was there, and despite Julie repeatedly telling her she didn’t need her services, she showed up anyway!
It started to sprinkle just before the ceremony was over, so they wrapped things up in the gazebo:
My next favorite- Julie, I think this looks like a perfume ad or something! :)
Gotta love the view from their reception location!
Christopher’s parents tore up the dance floor! :)
There may have only been 8 people on the floor all night, but this was the “danciest” reception I’ve ever seen!!!!!
Christopher, I love you!
Julie and Christopher, we were so honored to capture your day! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your adventure. We love you guys- Happy almost anniversary! :)
We’ve been fortunate enough to shoot not one, but two weddings in the US Virgin Islands in the past two years. Since our first trip for a wedding was before my blogging days, I’ve combined my favorite photos from both trips for this blog post. Enjoy! :)
Nate and I at Trunk Bay. :)
St. John was gorgeous.
Nate and I in St. Thomas for Julie and Christopher’s wedding. :)
Obligatory tripod + sunset shot. :)
I thought Florida lizards were bad- Over there, iguanas run the place! These things were as big as our dog! ;)
The St. Thomas airport is my favorite (location wise.) It’s always terrifying to land (it looks like you’re landing in the ocean, with the runway popping up at the last second!), but somehow getting out of the plane and seeing this makes it all ok. :)
Next up: Julie and Christopher’s St. Thomas USVI wedding! <3
