Our friends Dan and Lauren married on April 16, 2011! You may remember their Engagement Photos that I shot or Lauren’s Bridals that I just posted the other day. Their Wedding preparation began at the beautiful Renaissance Pere Marquette, followed by their Ceremony at St. John the Baptist. The Reception was at The Federal Ballroom. It was awesome working with the Blink girls, Melanie and Christine! I also used Blink for my Wedding Videography. Suzette from UpSa Daisy salon did an amazing job with the makeup, as usual!

It was great getting to see all of our friends at Dan and Lauren’s Wedding! This is the first Wedding that I photographed were my husband was actually a guest! He winded up picking up the camera towards the end of the night and getting a bunch of shots of his friends dancing it up. It was a memorable night and pleasure to work with Dan and Lauren! Congrats guys, the honeymoon photos looked amazing!

Butch & Stephanie married on April 9, 2011, it was such a beautiful day! I simply adore DAY TIME Weddings. The sunlight, the mood, everything! Preparation began at Butch & Stephanie’s home, the Ceremony was at Holy Name of Jesus Church and the Reception was at The Pavilion of Two Sisters. (Where my own reception was- always love shooting there!)

You may remember their Engagement session I photographed not long ago, they are adorable together! It’s been awesome getting to know them better over the past few months. I loved working with Erin Steen Flowers and Suzette with UpSa Daisy Salon for makeup! I also used them for my Wedding last year. It’s always fun to see my vendor friends :)

So, Butch & Stephanie – THANK YOU for allowing us to capture such a special day, everything turned out perfectly! I hope you guys enjoyed your honeymoon!

Here are some of my favorites from the day:

Greg & Elizabeth were married on March 26, 2011. Preparation, Ceremony & Reception were all held at the JW Marriot on Canal Street in New Orleans. Elizabeth has one of those warm personalities, she was such a pleasant bride! Loves to laugh and smile! I had a great time taking Greg & Elizabeth’s Engagement Session a few months back, too! I was excited to see them again. It’s always nice to walk into their Reception area and see lots of framed photos from their session. So many times, I don’t get to see my images in print. The weather was beautiful, so we were able to get some fun shots on Canal Street once the Ceremony was over. The guests danced all night long, it was a wonderful wedding. Thank you Greg & Elizabeth for allowing us to capture you’re big day!

The view from Elizabeth’s Prep Suite!!This group of girls were so cute!A few from the guys prep…Area right before you walk into ceremony/reception…This is usually the part when I get a little emotional myself, behind the camera. I swear it gets me every time.The flower girls were adorable!A few fun shots on Canal StreetAnd back in the hotel…Flowers by Bella Bloom!

Hey Ya’ll – Happy Monday! At the rate I’m going, expect a post every weekday for the upcoming months! I’ve had a ton of shoots lately and Weddings the last couple weekends. This week, I’m preparing for my 6 shoots and 16 Easter Sessions on Sunday. The rain may get in my way a little, it’s saying we have some chance of showers over the next few days. Crossing my fingers I won’t have to reschedule anyone!

Matt & Martha married on March 19th, 2011! Prep began at the beautiful Park View Guest House on St. Charles, then we headed to the Audubon Zoo Swamp Exhibit where the Ceremony and Reception took place. We had a great time documenting Matt & Martha’s BIG DAY! Here are some of my favorites :)

A few inside – so pretty!Loved this wedding! Audubon Zoo Swamp Exhibit was so fun and unique!The view behind the ceremony… awesome!

Andy and Holly married on February 19, 2011! You may remember their Engagement Session I did recently. Preparation was held at Holly’s friends home, the Ceremony was at Sacred Heart Chapel on St. Charles and the Reception was at The Board of Trade. When I walked in to shoot Holly’s prep, I realized her flowers looked familiar. They were beautiful!! I was happy to find out that she also used Erin Steen for her Wedding flowers, just as I did!

Randy and I photographed this Wedding the night before heading to Vegas for WPPI. So needless to say we were both full of excitement that night! The guests were hilarious, I loved the outfit change during the reception. Guests wore sunglasses, sparkly hats and sequined jackets! Loved the Lucky Dog stand, always makes for fun photos!

Andy & Holly, I hope you guys enjoyed your honeymoon! Thank you for allowing us to capture such a special day, we had fun!
