Alicia and Robert’s fantastic wedding day started with a first look in the smaller back courtyard of the Maison Dupuy Hotel. We then hit the streets of the French Quarter for portraits of the couple. This is one of the numerous benefits that having a first glance before the ceremony allows… it can often be more difficult to find time after the ceremony to get these kinds of shots, or there is no daylight to work with by then, but seeing each other prior to the ceremony removes much of the time pressure and stress, as we are able to get these shots as well as the formal group photographs done first, letting you go right into your reception as soon as the ceremony has concluded. While shooting in front of one of the many photogenic buildings, the resident noticed us and brought out a small bottle of champagne for the couple… only in New Orleans! The ceremony, officiated by Dr. Jerry Schwehm, and reception took place in the beautiful setting of the Maison Dupuy’s main courtyard.
