St. John the Baptist & Federal Ballroom Wedding – Hillary & Adam

Hillary and Adam exchanged vows at the beautiful St. John the Baptist church in New Orleans.  The reception took place at the Federal Ballroom in the Security Center building downtown… this was my first time shooting here, and I found it to be a fabulous venue!  Oak Alley did a great job with the entertainment.  At the end of the night, the guests gathered outside and heckled Cowboys fans walking back to their hotels from the game before giving the couple a wonderful send-off in a carriage.

St. John the Baptist Church & Westin Canal Place Wedding in New Orleans – Natalie & Nick – 1/3/09

I had a great time photographing Natalie’s sister’s wedding almost two years ago, and was thrilled to be invited to work with this wonderful family again. Natalie & Nick’s ceremony took place at the beautiful St. John the Baptist Church in New Orleans, with the reception being held at the Westin Canal Place. It was a stormy evening, but that didn’t stop everyone from having a great time!

Nick had a really neat groom’s cake… a beautifully rendered wilderness scene.

The couple picked No Idea to entertain during the reception. As usual, the band did a great job, and Troy even manned a washboard as they performed Jambalaya! (and that’s a good example of how versatile this band is… they can go from rock to zydeco to modern dance to motown, and sound right at home with all these genres).

Ashley & Sam’s Wedding – St. John the Baptist & St. Louis Hotel Courtyard, New Orleans French Quarter – 7/26/08

Ashley & Sam’s ceremony took place at one of my favorite churches, St. John the Baptist, and their reception was at one of my favorite venues, the St. Louis Hotel’s gorgeous courtyard.

There was some light rain in the area, but thanks to the courtyard’s retractable canopy, the event was able to remain outdoors.

Towards the end of the reception, surrounded by friends and family, Ashley sang a beautiful love song for Sam, and then the night was capped off with a second line around the courtyard!
