About The Roots & Stones

The Roots & Stones

Photographer / Videographer

I'm Johnny, owner of The Roots and Stones. A chicano kid from a border town in the middle of nowhere, I've made Florida my home for the last 20 years. Love my couples, turned friends - I take great pride in proving a great experience from start to finish. You can trust that I will make your investment completely worthwhile. Easy going, no pressure, no BS.

My photography journey is long and rich with experience. I started when I was 22, and along the way, I explored and mastered various styles and niches. This diverse experience has profoundly influenced my wedding photography. Today, my style has evolved into a unique blend of documentary and editorial approaches. I am constantly present, capturing meaningful, candid moments that tell the authentic story of your special day. When it comes to portraits, I incorporate an editorial touch, crafting posed shots that evolve naturally, ensuring they look as genuine and spontaneous as possible.

    a photographer who feels like family

    If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and/or videographer in Orlando, look no further. Seriously. We did the rounds looking at people for our wedding at the Dr. Phillips Center, and Johnny (The Roots and Stones) was just head and shoulders above everyone else. We didn't want the typical stiff wedding photos where everyone looks like a mannequin. We wanted the real stuff with the messy, raw, "in-between" moments with our family and friends. Johnny’s work is all about that and at no point did anything feel forced or rigid. We met up with him about a month before the wedding and it was like we’d been friends forever. That rapport is so important because things could have felt awkward, but instead he made us feel relaxed and comfortable while he was shooting. He also has this great personal flair and is just a genuinely generous guy, as evidenced by him dedicating his entire weekend to us and coming out to our welcome party the night before just to catch those first hugs and "oh my god!" moments when people arrived. He’s unique, creative, and used a mix of everything along the way, with film cameras and old-school 90s camcorders to get shots that blew our minds. He also worked perfectly with our planner behind the scenes so we didn't have to manage a thing. Perhaps most impressive, Johnny had all of the photos and video edited and delivered to us within 60 days of our wedding - way earlier than we expected. Our wedding video is absolutely amazing- he had us crying and feeling all the wedding feels over again. We cannot recommend Johnny and his team more!!! Thank you Johnny!!!

    Would choose Johnny every single time

    Wow. I’ve known Johnny for years. He is a master of his craft and continues to impress me! He was the perfect person to capture our wedding. We look like we belong in a wedding editorial for a magazine! He perfectly captured the magic of our wedding day while keeping its authenticity. We cannot thank him enough and will recommend him every time.

    I cannot say enough great things about working with Johnny. I stumbled upon his page through instagram and I am just so thankful I found him. He is so down to earth and willing to have fun with his couples and went above and beyond to meet every need and expectation I had for a wedding photographer. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the results speak for themselves… he created memories for us that will last a lifetime and bring me to tears every time I look at them. I would pick Johnny to capture our special day over and over again. Professional team, great communication and flexibility, and incredible photo/video quality.

    Great engagement shoot!

    Johnny is amazing! He’s so friendly and kept us smiling and engaged during our engagement shoot. We appreciate that he took his time and didn’t want to make us feel rushed. Great experience overall and would highly recommend!

    First Zola client

    Oh man, I can not recommend Johnny and his team enough. When I began looking for a photographer I wanted to find someone who can support a large wedding, video and photography, and who can fit into our day. I can’t express how supported, seen and prioritized I felt the entire way. From the first call, to engagement photos, to the day alone, Johnny was constantly communicating with me and was so patient along the way. Johnny also made it such a point to deliver the teaser video, completed photos, and final video in a timely manner so I could celebrate with my family and friends.

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 2-3 weeks after your wedding. With sneak peaks the day after.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
Logistics and Time Efficiency: Getting ready shots can sometimes be time-consuming, especially when the groom and bride are getting ready at different locations. With a second shooter, the process becomes more efficient as they can split up and capture the preparations concurrently, ensuring that no important moments or details are missed. Simultaneous Coverage: With two photographers, one can focus on the groom and his party, while the other concentrates on the bride and her party.
