Orlando wedding, engagement, family photographer | Root Photography Blog
The many adventures of a cute husband and wife photography team!
Natasha and Harvey came from Canada to have an intimate wedding at Disney. It was an absolute honor to be a part of their day!!
Get ready for allllll the ceremony emotions <3
The Canadians throwing leaves for their ceremony recessional? Perfection!
Natasha and Harvey, it was an absolute honor! Thank you for having us!! :)
Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!
Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.
It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)
Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!
We set our alarms for 4:30am for Katie’s day. This sunrise made the eye bags so worth it. <3
Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3
We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!
Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3
It’s not often that we photograph escape weddings at Walt Disney World. These intimate weddings are always so special, and I’m amazed at how much Megan was able to fit in this four hour day!
I’m not gonna lie- I was really excited to shoot this wedding because of Chance’s name! My family dog was “Chance,” and so I had warm fuzzies every time I’d see their names coming up in my planner. :) Chance was everything I’d hoped he’d be, so full of love and life and complete adoration for his gorgeous wife. As soon as we stepped into Megan’s room and saw her details, wedding ensemble, and those bright red lips, I truly felt like I was photographing Daisy Buchanan herself. <3
Nate left me with Megan while she put on her final touches to go meet with Chance, and when editing their photos, I was tickled that they read their letters to each other at the *exact* same time! <3
This first look photo, though. <3
I could have photographed Megan alllllllllllllll day long. <3
For those of you on the fence about a first look because you’re worried he won’t still get chocked up at the alter… <3
Megan’s sweet dad broke his foot just before their wedding. Luckily, her two dapper brothers took his place to escort her down the aisle, and her father was still able to give her away. <3
Too many favorites, but this one’s waaaaay up there <3
FAVORITE. Of ALL the favorites. <3
The Whitehall Patio at the Grand Floridian Convention Center is my favorite reception spot for escape weddings (when the weather is nice out, anyway!) I couldn’t get enough of all this liiiiiiiight! :)
Megan and Chance, thank you for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
