Photojournalistic wedding photography & portraits for New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and the North Shore
SarahScott & Michael’s ceremony took place at the zoo’s Sea Lion Exhibit. The couple then did a Second Line into the Tea Room for the reception, with DJ David Storm providing the entertainment. Being Halloween night, the couple had a big table set up with a wide variety of candy (including M&Ms imprinted with their portrait!), along with a beautiful pumpkin groom’s cake! The event was coordinated by Andrea at Another Perfect Affair.
It was a wonderful wedding, for a delightful couple!
I had a fun time photographing this easy-going New Orleans couple. Our first attempt a few weeks ago was rained out, but the weather on this day was much more pleasant and October-like.
This very nice couple from San Francisco started their wedding day celebrations with a joyful Tisch and Ketubah signing at the Westin hotel, with them seeing each other for the first time that day just before the beginning of the latter. We then headed over to City Park, where the ceremony took place in the gardens next to Pavilion of the Two Sisters, with the Chuppah and beautiful decorations provided by Urban Earth.
Dr. Jazz led the couple and guests on a festive Second Line around the grounds, which everyone really enjoyed. After the cocktail hour, we moved over to the New Orleans Museum of Art for the reception. Dr. Jazz showed their versatility, having performed for the ceremony, the Second Line, the cocktail hour, and now the beginning of the reception for the traditional Hora dance, which was wonderfully chaotic (as they usually are!).
New Orleans legend Kermit Ruffins and his band then took over for the rest of the reception.
At the end of the night, Amy and Andy were given a fantastic departure with sparklers… these are sometimes difficult to coordinate, but the Unique Weddings in New Orleans team did a great job with it, as they did with all the other aspects of this wonderful wedding.
And, of course, given the Saints’ performance on Sunday, I felt it fitting to start out with this image…
