Degas House Springtime Wedding starring Andrea & Polo

From the Windy City to the lively streets of New Orleans (their favorite city, hands down!), Andrea and Polo brought their Chicago cool to the historic Degas House for a late October wedding that was as trendy as it gets.

A second line down Esplanade Ave, courtesy of the Kinfolk Brass Band, kicked off the celebration. DJ Belonge kept the beats rolling, turning the dance floor into a hotspot. Andrea and Polo didn't just throw a wedding; they threw a party to remember.

Major props to Ashley Bupp of A Bupp Event for making it all happen seamlessly. She turned their vision into a reality, ensuring every detail was on point.

Andrea and Polo made a stylish, Instagram-worthy exit, surrounded by sparklers and hopping into a classic Mustang convertible.

Every detail reflected their personalities. As they drove off in that classic Mustang, it was clear – this was a love story that knows how to make an exit. Cheers to Andrea and Polo, the coolest couple in town!

Intimate Halloween Wedding with David and Renee at Bevolo

Halloween weekend is always a pretty popular time to get married in New Orleans, and its also one of our favorite times to photograph a wedding. The weather is usually pretty great ( for New Orleans ) and the couples usually treat us to something a little different than what we typically see year round. David & Renee delivered with an amazingly intimate wedding at the Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights Museum. Renee had a beautiful black wedding dress, which we hope we get to see more of because, damn, that shit looks good! They decked out their ceremony and reception space with some crystal skulls, an alligator head and beautiful deep red roses.

After the ceremony, David & Renee exited into one of the craziest second lines we’ve been apart of. While we were inside Bevolo, a windstorm kicked up, which is just so typical of New Orleans because the weather here is just straight unpredictable. As we proceeded to second line through the French Quarter with heavy heavy wind gusts, we got some of the most epic photographs. Things couldn’t have come together without the help of the amazing Meredith with Belle Soiree Events. This wedding was a whole vibe.

An elegant New Orleans wedding starring Billy & Kait!

Billy & Kait’s wedding got moved not once, not twice, but three damn times! And to top it off their wedding was supposed to take place in NYC back in 2020 but the pandemic had other ideas and forced them to move their date in order to have the celebration they dreamed of.

They ultimately decided to have their wedding in New Orleans at the St. Louis Cathedral with the reception at the Old Ursaline Convent Museum, and it turned out freaking amazing.

Rena with Alchemy Events made sure that everything was absolutely perfect for their third and final go at getting married. She enlisted the always amazing Kim Star Wise to deck the place out in white orchids and accented the 4½' foot tall cake created by Sucrette Nola.

Right before the ceremony was supposed to start, Kait’s dress zipper bust open. Rena, like the badass that she is, swooped in and stitched Kait into her dress moments before she walked down the aisle. If that isn’t a testament as to why anyone should hire a wedding planner and coordinator, we don’t know what is! Anything can go south at a moments notice, so it’s nice to know you’ve got someone who can step in and save the day.

The reception was the culmination of everyone being isolated from one another for an entire year, and the fact that they were all so ready to finally celebrate with Billy & Kait. Y’all, their party was insane, but rather than keep rambling on about how awesome it was, we figured we’d do what we’re best at and show y’all.

Check it out.

New Orleans Weddings before the time of Covid-19, featuring Allison and Cody.

We closed 2019 out not knowing that this would have been one of the last full weddings we would ever photograph, at least for the foreseeable future. It’s weird to think that the way we celebrate love has fundamentally changed, whether we like it or not, and we’re incredibly thankful that we have been able to experience such amazing events, especially when they are often with our amazing clients and friends, like Allison and Cody, whose wedding we will certainly not forget.

We will always cherish these times that we’ve taken for granted and we’re beyond thankful for all the couples, families, and events that have rocked our socks off and left us picking ourselves up off the floor the next day. There may be a real possibility that we may never get to be a part of another wedding where the dance floor is slammed with friends and family elbow to elbow sweating it out on top of each other, or where we parade through the streets with an entire city in tow.

New Orleans Destination Wedding at Brennan's - Kelsey & Justin

One of the most enticing things about New Orleans is it’s charm, but the one thing nobody really tells you about, is what that charm actually is.

Some folks believe it’s the old world architecture, the food, and the sort of laissez faire attitude that us residents tend to live by. Those things are all charming, and they definitely are part of the makeup of New Orleans, but what that charm actually is, is it’s people. The way our city bands together in times of happiness and strife, the way it’s people make you feel at home by inviting you in and making you feel like you belong, like you’re just part of the family.

It’s the welcoming arms of the city and it’s unbeatable food that brought Kelsey and Justin back down to New Orleans with their all of the closest friends and family in tow for an all out beautiful celebration deep in the heart of New Orleans. They fell in love with how the city embraced them and made them feel welcome. Their guests felt the same and everyone threw care into the wind and had a long, fun night of dancing and celebrating the love between these two. We love when people love New Orleans.

An Intimate New Orleans Wedding at Bevolo - Alayna & Justin

Our awesome clients Alayna and Justin got married at the Bevolo Gas and Electric Lighting Museum in the French Quarter. It was a smaller, more intimate affair which is always a treat because the pace is a little more casual and relaxed, which really allows us time to focus in on all the feelings and emotions going around. They both began they day at the Ace Hotel downtown; the girls from PreauxFace putting the finishing touches on Alayna as we arrived. They met each other in front of the hotel for a emotional first look, where there were some definite tears, before heading into the French Quarter for beautiful intimate ceremony in the Bevolo Museum, in which only their closest friends and family attended.

New Orleans Destination Wedding at Napoleon House - Emily & Dustin

Let us just start by saying that we have some of the coolest, chillest, most down to earth clients. Take Emily and Dustin here for example, an awesome couple from New York City who came all the way down here to New Orleans, friends and family in tow, and threw one hell of a party. They didn’t just come down to NOLA for the incredible scenery and great food. Nah, they came to have a good time, to live in the moment, to be present, to let the good times roll. Emily & Dustin’s celebration was exactly the way it should be, full of good vibes, laughter and genuine happiness all rolled together with a laissez faire attitude that even the locals were proud to be a part of.
