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

Monday, July 28, 2008

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!

Ashley & Zach – St. John the Baptist & Conti Wax Museum, New Orleans French Quarter – 6/7/08

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Ashley & Zach’s ceremony was at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in New Orleans. Not only is this church absolutely beautiful, the people there are very friendly as well.

With a loft right above the altar, an angle not often seen in church weddings can be captured.

We then headed over to the Conti Wax Museum for the reception. The event space, located directly above the museum, has a very nice warm, rustic feel.

Harvey Jesus & Fire rocked the house, and Zach sang a few lines during some songs as well.

At the end of the reception, Ashley’s family put on a surprise little skit for the couple, in recognition of their impending move to Dallas. Masquerading as long-lost relatives from Texas, this rootin’ tootin’ gang of gunslinging outlaws expressed their discontent at not having been invited to the wedding, but enthusiastically welcomed Ashley and Zach to the lone star state.

Congratulations Ashley and Zach!

St. John the Baptist Church & Board of Trade New Orleans Wedding – Erikka & Kris – 5/26/07

Sunday, May 27, 2007

After the ceremony at the beautiful St. John the Baptist church, we headed over to the elegant Board of Trade in downtown New Orleans for the reception. There, this New York couple put on the most incredible and precisely choreographed first dance I’ve ever seen! The Distractions, a talented band with an awesome horn section, provided the entertainment, and the event was beautifully coordinated by Michele Adams of Unique Weddings in New Orleans.
