Elaine & Jesse’s Wedding at the Maison Dupuy in New Orleans – 6/20/09

Elaine & Jesse had their ceremony and reception in the beautiful Maison Dupuy hotel’s courtyard.  Before the ceremony, the couple saw each other for the first time that day in the secluded small courtyard at the back of the hotel, and some wonderful images were captured of that.  After the emotional ceremony conducted by Rev. John Zimmer, it was time for the reception.

When it came time for the bouquet and garter tosses, Jesse’s best man made an impressive leaping catch of the garter (which is rare… usually the guys just watch it fall to the ground!).

And in addition to cake, they also served ice cream sundaes!

Jessica & Scott’s Wedding – Parkview Baptist Church & Crystal Plantation – 6/13/09

This delightful Texas couple’s ceremony took place at Parkview Baptist Church in Metairie, with the reception following at Crystal Plantation in Kenner.  I’d already had the pleasure of doing both an engagement portrait and a bridal portrait, and their wedding was lots of fun too!

Because Jessica is from Louisiana, and Scott is from Texas, among their wedding favors were two different baskets of cookie cutters… a fleur de lis for Jessica, and a Texas outline for Scott.  At the end of the reception, the couple departed through a shower of bubbles!

Michelle & Nick’s Wedding at the St. Louis Hotel in New Orleans – 6/12/09

I had done an engagement portrait with Michelle & Nick a few months ago, and a bridal portrait just a few days before the wedding, and this Texas couple was a lot of fun to work with!

Their wedding, which was expertly planned and coordinated by Unique Weddings in New Orleans, took place at the beautiful St. Louis Hotel in the French Quarter, with the ceremony being conducted by Rev. Johnny Adams.  Michelle and Nick are both medical professionals (Michelle a nurse, and Nick a doctor) specializing in pulmonary medicine, so Nick’s groom’s cake was an amazingly-rendered set of lungs… good thing Nick’s not a urologist!

After the reception, everyone took to the streets of the French Quarter for a second line parade led by the fabulous Pin-Stripe Brass Band, ending up at the Royal Sonesta for an after-party at the second-floor corner balcony suite.
