I met up with Lindsay and Michael for an early-morning engagement portrait in downtown Baton Rouge. Of course, my favorite shots were the ones we did by the old steam engine!

I had a great time doing Jocelyn and Nathan’s engagement portrait last month, and was looking forward to their wedding at the Baton Rouge Hilton Capitol Center. The forecast was ominous… heavy rain, strong winds, tornadoes. But fortunately, this bad weather cleared out early, giving way to a very nice afternoon and evening for a wedding. Unique Weddings in New Orleans coordinated the event.
The ceremony was held on the pool deck, and then we headed up to the elegant Heidelberg Ballroom for the reception.
Vieux Carre came in from New Orleans to provide the entertainment, and did a fabulous job! At the end of the night, the couple was given a sparkler send-off by the family and friends, and they complied with the guests’ shouts of “go back through again!”, and ran the gauntlet of sparklers one more time.
This delightful couple’s ceremony took place in the historic House Chamber of the Old State Capitol overlooking the river in Baton Rouge. This building famously resembles a castle, but the interior is gloriously cathedral-like. Afterwards, we headed right down the street to the elegant Old Governor’s Mansion for the reception.
Helen surprised Lyle with a Super Mario Bros. themed cake, as he is a big fan of that series of games! The Michael Foster Project performed during the reception… they were a fantastic band, playing a great mix of jazz, dance songs, and brass funk music. At the end of the night, Helen & Lyle departed through a shower of bubbles!
