Perrie and Adam were all set for a lovely late summer wedding at the Bowery Hotel in Manhattan this past August, only mother nature had other plans. As Hurricane Irene barreled up the East Coast, I couldn’t believe it! I’m no stranger to hurricanes, but New York, really??? The call to postpone the wedding was made the day before and I was just so lucky it was rescheduled for October 15, the only fall date I had open! I guess sometimes things just work out in the end. Perrie and Adam got to take their honeymoon to Greece before their wedding and the new wedding day had prefect weather and lots of fun!

Karla and Abby had a very New Orleans style destination wedding for about 50 of their closest family and friends. It was such a fun wedding and I know the brides attention to details – from their custom luggage tags, to the beads, masks, glow sticks for real Mardi Gras like party at their reception – was well worth the effort. Everyone had a great time and I’m so happy for the couple. (And I’m so happy I could keep up with them during the second line despite being about 8 months pregnant! :)
It was so lovely for me to get a chance to indulge in Muriel’s fare as well, from the shrimp crepes to the stuffed fish entree, it was a real treat. (Feed your photographers people!!! We really appreciate it. And Muriel’s staff was especially helpful to me as well. :) The doberge wedding cake was a fantastic finish. But it didn’t stop there. The favors made by a friend were handmade chocolate truffles, with tasty centers including peanut butter and jelly.
Thanks Karla and Abby!!!!

Just an early reminder, holiday print orders will be due by 12/1 to guarantee delivery in time. Our baby is due on 12/7 so I want to make sure I’ll have time to fulfill orders no matter when he or she decides to come! After that date, please email to see what the estimate turn around time will be. Thanks!!

I had so much fun photographing Missy and Phil’s wedding at Cabrini Chapel and Galatoire’s! It was the first of many gorgeous October Saturdays (and one Sunday) I was lucky enough to photograph in New Orleans. For an intimate wedding (I’d say less than 40 or 50 people) Galatoire’s was a fantastic, very New Orleans choice and the food is top tier. One of my favorite moments was Phil’s surprise at the elaborate groom’s cake from Zoe’s of the New Orleans skyline. While I often see groom’s cake of sports teams, Missy had them translate his love of New Orleans into something unique. And it smelled amazing!!!!! (Sadly, I left before it was cut. Maybe a good thing. :)

I didn’t even notice the tear rolling down Missy’s Dad’s cheek until I was editing. Such a beautiful moment between father and daughter. It is such a privilege to capture these.
