Magda and Jamison were married at the Omni Royal Orleans in New Orleans Memorial Day weekend. It was one of the liveliest weddings I have ever been to, no doubt helped by the fantastic music by the Groovy 7. I was particularly moved by their choice of first dance, Romeo and Juliet by the Dire Straits as The Killers (one of my favorite bands) do a remake of it that I love! The groom’s cake was shaped as an electric guitar and it was such fun watching the newlyweds dance and sing up a storm. Enjoy!

One evening a few weeks back, I get a call from Asad. He wants to know if I can do a portrait session of he and his wife, Omaira, because they are moving away from New Orleans. I say sure, and ask him when. Tomorrow? Ok! I’m so happy I was free because it was a wonderful surprise to get to photograph such a lovely couple at an exciting time in their lives. He’s starting a new job in Philadelphia and they are expecting a baby girl in the fall. We lucked out with a gorgeous evening in the French Quarter. I don’t normally do portrait sessions outside of weddings and engagements, but this was so much fun, I would love to do more! Just call me!
As it would turn out, about a week after this portrait session, my husband got a job offer in New York and we ended-up leaving New Orleans too! Ryan and I are both from New Orleans, so we were hoping we could stay there, but I really love New York so we are very happy to be back in our other home. I’m still getting settled – apartment wise – and have a bunch of major website changes in the works. More to to come in the next few weeks! Don’t worry, I’ll still be coming to New Orleans for weddings!
