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!
