With absolutely perfect weather, the wedding took place at the Tree of Life in Audubon Park. The tree, a live oak, was planted during the wedding of New Orleans Mayor Jean Etienne de Bore over 200 years ago. The tree is massive, with the large root system making an ideal “stage” for the couple to stand on. And yes, those are shrimping boots that the bride and groom are wearing… there’s a long story behind that, which is too lengthy to post here, but suffice it to say that the boots have special meaning to the couple, dating back to their childhood. Catherine is a documentary filmmaker, and had three cameramen, including one with a steadycam rig, filming the event for an autobiographical documentary she is producing.

The reception was at the Orleans Club, and New Orleans legend Kermit Ruffins and his band entertained! At the end of the memorable night, Kermit led a second line march out to a waiting motorized rickshaw, in which the couple was whisked away.
