Anthony and Darius frequently visited New Orleans while they dated, so it was cruicial that we decided to meet them in an area that they've spent far less time in, and admittedly us as well. We've always enjoyed afternoon strolls through the Marigny/Bywater, and Crescent Park seemed like the most obivious choice for a sunny summer afternoon engagement session. The breeze rolled off the Mississippi river providing us a much needed reprieve from the stiffling heat and humidity that is notorious for a New Orleans summer. As we talked and got to know their relationship better, the excitement for their wedding this fall grew even more. Here we have two amazing people bringing their families from all over the country to come celebrate their love together in our hometown, it's a welcoming treat to have the honor and privilege of being able to document their marriage to one another. We don't want to spoil all the details about it because we want it to be a surprise when we get share it with the world, but we can say it's going to be really freaking awesome.
