We’d been looking forward to this event ever since first meeting Edwin and Keith in their beautiful home. This wedding had all the makings of a perfect day : Stunning grooms? Check! Dream venue? Check! Great team of vendors? Cheeeeeck! And any time the magical Lisa Stoner<\/strong><\/a> is involved, there’s no doubt going to be a heaping dose of whimsy added in. :)<\/p>\n

Nate and I started our day at the practically-perfect-in-every-way Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes<\/a> where Edwin and Keith were getting ready together. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- Couples that get ready together are my faaaaavorite! :)<\/p>\n

Before we knew it, it was family portrait time! <3<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Edwin’s mother was so sweet and emotional all day… I started tearing up any time I saw her looking at her son.<\/p>\n

Why it’s Mary Poppins<\/del> Lisa Stoner<\/a>! :) Our dearest friend and wedding planner extraordinaire!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I mean. <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s a fire pit heating up branding irons under the gazebo. But more on that later…<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Just a sensible branding ceremony done to the theme song of Game of Thrones. Kinda hard to go back to photographing unity candles after this one, lol! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, it was AWESOME and something only Lisa Stoner<\/a> would come up with! ;) Seriously- How incredible\u00a0is this?! And I love it, because they branded their monogram onto leather and will hang this in their home. <3 \u00a0Most good wedding planners help you think outside the box. Lisa just sets the box\u00a0box on fire! <3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As soon as dinner and the main events were done on the lawn, everyone headed inside for a\u00a0ballroom dance party. :)<\/p>\n

Also- THAT IS THEIR WEDDING LOGO LIT UP ON THE DANCE FLOOR.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They also had a fire bar! :)<\/p>\n

More familiar faces!! Jeffrey wasn’t working with us, but we were briefly able to meet him and past-Root-bride-and-now-wedding-planner Andrea! :) (You may remember Andrea and Mickey’s wedding<\/strong><\/a> as being the first-ever wedding at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.) It felt like fancy summer camp for a minute, with all of us sneaking out of our respective ballrooms for a quick photo! :)<\/p>\n

One last selfie! Lisa, Carolina, and one more past Root groom, Tim- (Of Tim and Mike fame!<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, thank you to the incredible team for making this such a fun wedding for us!! We hope to work with you all again soon! :)<\/p>\n
