Alexis and Greg are in the motion picture profession, and Greg’s particular occupation, location scout, was readily apparent when we met for the first time several months ago… he pulled his notebook for the reception venue, which included detailed diagrams, notes, and photos from every conceivable angle.
Another indication was their use of the term “magic hour” in the context of discussing what time the ceremony would take place. And indeed, the lighting was absolutely splendid. We had a few minutes before the ceremony to get some shots of the couple around the French Quarter, and then after they exchanged vows in Jackson Square, the Hot Eight Brass Band led us towards the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum where the reception was to be held.
We hadn’t gone far when a police officer approached the couple, bringing the procession to a screeching halt. Apparently a parade permit is required for this type of thing, and it appeared that we were to be forced to disband. Fortunately, Greg was able to convince the officer to let us continue after pointing out that our destination was only 2 blocks away.
The reception had a masquerade theme, and Alexis & Greg provided all the guests with wonderful masks.
