Carla + Kerry: Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation, New Orleans

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

I’m finally catching-up, it has been a crazy summer! Let’s flashback to Memorial Day weekend for Carla and Kerry’s fun wedding at Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation outside of New Orleans. Lots of dancing, family, good food and a crawfish boil cake from Haydel’s!

I kinda felt this way after one of my flashes died! (I had a back-up, so it was ok, but it I hate it then things stop working!)

A Classy, Rock ‘n’ Roll Wedding: Omni Royal Orleans

Monday, July 19th, 2010

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!

Katie + Sean: Holy Name of Jesus and The Columns Hotel

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Katie and Sean were married at Holy Name of Jesus (at Loyola University, my alma mater!) followed by a festive reception at The Column’s Hotel. We did their engagement session in Audubon Park back in April and I was so happy to see them get married! I know their guests, almost all from out of town, had a real New Orleans treat with fantastic music by The George French Band and not to mention, the oysters and mint juleps!

Ceremony: Holy Name Of Jesus
Reception: The Columns Hotel
Music: The George French Band
Flowers: Audubon Flowers

Alexandra + Joel: Board of Trade, New Orleans

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

I truly had a blast photographing Alex and Joel’s wedding at the Board of Trade earlier this month. I just loved their style! Everyone got ready at the St. James Hotel, a few doors down from the Board of Trade. Thunderstorms forced the ceremony under the entrance way, but they didn’t damped the celebration one bit. The band, Burgundy, got all the ladies on stage for a rendition of Proud Mary – including the bride’s mother. Seeing all of them singing away with the men watching from the dance floor and was my favorite moment of the night. I don’t always get a chance to sample the cake, but Alex’s cake from The Royal Cakery smelled so good, and each layer was different, so ultra tempting. The little keylime piece I had amazing! I wish I had a chance to try to red velvet and the almond layer too.
