Photojournalistic wedding photography & portraits for New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and the North Shore
Hillary and Adam exchanged vows at the beautiful St. John the Baptist church in New Orleans. The reception took place at the Federal Ballroom in the Security Center building downtown… this was my first time shooting here, and I found it to be a fabulous venue! Oak Alley did a great job with the entertainment. At the end of the night, the guests gathered outside and heckled Cowboys fans walking back to their hotels from the game before giving the couple a wonderful send-off in a carriage.
I enjoyed photographing this Houston couple several months ago for their engagement portrait, and their wedding was a blast as well! The ceremony took place at Metairie Baptist Church, and then we headed over to The Elms Mansion for the reception. Voodoo Funk and Soul Co. entertained, with 2 great vocalists and a fabulous horn section. And Matt even sang a few songs!
After Cara and Jesse had a nice “first look” in Broussard’s courtyard, we spent a little time walking around the Quarter getting some fun shots of the two of them. Then it was back to Broussard’s for the ceremony, which was officiated by Rev. John Zimmer, and Cara’s adorable little girl also got her own ring from her loving new stepdad. Before dinner, there was a cocktail reception, and then a Second Line through the streets of the Quarter led by Dr. Jazz. Get Polished coordinated the event.
