Harold & Brandy’s Wedding at St. Jude & the Marriott – 8/7/10

When I first met with Harold and Brady, I was impressed by how he was able to name every church in my sample albums and portfolio images!  Both of them were just the nicest people imaginable.




Their ceremony took place at St. Jude, and was a Latin mass, a bit different than the regular Catholic ceremonies I often photograph.




Their reception was held at the Marriott Hotel’s ballroom.  Both cakes were beautiful, but Harold’s groom’s cake consisted of a collection of meaningful quotes.




NOTHING was going to stop this bridesmaid from catching the bouquet!  (the lady in the red dress almost got flagged for pass interference)




At the end of the night, the guests were treated to a wonderful Mardi Gras Indians performance, with elaborate costumes and a couple of stilt walkers, and accompanied by the Sons of Jazz brass band.  What I really loved was when these performers, the couple, and the big crowd all headed downstairs, passing through a somewhat startled convention of lawyers, ending up in the lobby, where mingling hotel guests joined in the fun!

Caroline & Keith’s Wedding at St. John the Baptist & The Foundry – 6/26/10

You only have to spend a few minutes with this couple to know that they are perfect for each other!  I had a lot of fun with their engagement portrait and Caroline’s bridal portrait, and their wedding was a blast!

Caroline wore the same dress her late mother was married in over 40 years ago, and she had her and her mother’s initials and wedding dates monogrammed to the inside of the dress.

The ceremony took place at beautiful St. John the Baptist Church in New Orleans, one of my favorite churches to shoot at!

The reception took place at The Foundry in the warehouse district, a fabulous venue.  Harvey Jesus & Fire entertained, and performed a huge variety of music!

Cutting the cake…

Cutting the cupcake!

When I photographed Caroline’s sister Ashley’s wedding two years ago, the family put together a cowboy skit (complete with costumes and props) to welcome Ashley’s husband Zach to the family.  The family carried on that tradition for Caroline’s wedding, this time donning hazmat suits and posing as a BP oil spill cleanup crew.  Caroline & Keith were suited up as well, and were presented with a few essential items… a bottle of Dawn detergent for cleaning up, and an official BP claims form.  The oil spill is an absolutely awful situation for everyone down here, but we can still maintain good spirits in the face of such adversity!
