Ashley & Sam’s Wedding – St. John the Baptist & St. Louis Hotel Courtyard, New Orleans French Quarter – 7/26/08

Monday, July 28, 2008

Ashley & Sam’s ceremony took place at one of my favorite churches, St. John the Baptist, and their reception was at one of my favorite venues, the St. Louis Hotel’s gorgeous courtyard.

There was some light rain in the area, but thanks to the courtyard’s retractable canopy, the event was able to remain outdoors.

Towards the end of the reception, surrounded by friends and family, Ashley sang a beautiful love song for Sam, and then the night was capped off with a second line around the courtyard!

Claire & Aaron’s Wedding – First United Methodist Church, Slidell & Abita Quail Farm, Abita Springs – 7/12/08

Monday, July 14, 2008

I did Claire & Aaron’s engagement portrait about a month ago, and was looking forward to this very nice couple’s wedding! The ceremony took place at First United Methodist Church in Slidell.

Braiding the cord of three strands… the couple insists that the LSU colors are purely coincidental!

In memory of Claire’s father, a small photo of the two of them was attached to her bouquet. He and other deceased loved ones were also recognized by memorial candles placed in the church foyer.

The reception was at the Abita Quail Farm in beautiful Abita Springs.

Claire’s longtime friend serenaded the couple with a truly breathtaking performance of Angel of Music from Phantom of the Opera. Then he sang Love Shack.

Amanda & Kyle’s Wedding – Diamondhead Country Club, Mississippi – 7/6/08

Monday, July 7, 2008

Like other Mississippi Gulf Coast couples whose weddings I have photographed, Amanda & Kyle were just really nice, down-to-earth people, and I had a great time shooting their engagement portrait and wedding. Their ceremony and reception took place at the elegant country club in beautiful Diamondhead, Mississippi.

The gorgeous green and white floral arrangements were crafted by Rekers in Slidell.
