Ashley & Bob's Halloween Wedding!

























Ashley and Bob were married under a century-old oak tree, complete with violins, church pews and chandelier! Many of the guests were costumed for the Halloween celebration, and the bride and groom's First Dance was celebrated under a cascade of confetti... the weather was perfect, the guests were festive, the Tope La' food was incredible, and the everyone had a fantastic time... congratulations, Ashley & Bob, and thank you for an incredible evening!!

Lindsey's Bridal Session!













Lindsey and Blake were married at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Ponchatoula, LA on 11.11.11 - and now we can show her bridal images!
These bridal portraits were created at Houmas House Plantation & Gardens, along the historic River Road in Darrow, LA.
We've photographed a couple of weddings here,and it was a pleasure to have a bridal session here as well - the staff and tour guides are exceptionally friendly and quite knowledgeable about the plantation and its rich history, and of course the house and gardens are kept in pristine condition! Even if you're not planning on getting married there, do check out the tour - at the very least, visit their gift shop.
We hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed creating them!

Mary Beth & Mike's Wedding!



























































Mary Beth and Michael were married on a hot summer night in June, 2011... the couple got ready for the big day at the Wyndham Riverwalk, across from the New Orleans Convention Center... it was pretty hot outside, but we managed to get outside for some Guy Shots for a short time. Meanwhile, the bride and her girls stayed indoors, in the air conditioning! It was a short limousine ride to the other side of the French Quarter to Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church on gorgeous Esplanade Avenue. The bride and groom drove to the reception in a perfectly restored 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 convertible. And the reception was just a short distance away in City Park, upstairs in the Park View Terrace. Mary Beth and Mike made their getaway in the Cutlass, then came right back to spend a little time creating some romantic images in the Pope Bandstand... here are fifty images from this beautiful wedding! The bride and groom were so happy to see their wedding photos on their web gallery while still on their Jamaican honeymoon... congratulations, Mary Beth and Mike!
