Kenny & Marley - Lake Pontchartrain Engagement

Man, I loved hanging out with these two. Kenny and Marley have been friends of ours for years now, and they're always the kindest and sweetest people to be around. There is this looming feel good vibe that surrounds them, and its infectious. 

The weather was gloomy, but the day was perfect. Their love, laughter and feel good vibes made the day nothing short of amazing. We laughed, we explored, and it was a freaking blast. 

Their wedding is going to be amazing, and I can't wait to hangout with them again.

Justin & Melissa - New Orleans Engagement

These two have that just absolute intense love for each other, and you can feel it in the air. I see Justin and Melissa as that couple that just lasts forever, and it's totally rad. Being around them, and being able to capture that sense of togetherness had me smiling all day.

 I cannot wait to see them again on their wedding day.

Visited Portland, OR last week. It was rad. Truly an inspiring experience. 

Logan & Lauren - Lafayette Square Proposal

What better way to launch into 2016, than by photographing a really rad couple from out of town getting engaged in New Orleans.

Congratulations y'all.

My brother, and his soon to be wife. Glad to call them my family. 

Much love dudes. Much love.

John & Mary - Rock n' Bowl Wedding

These two...well, let's just say they're incredible people. New Orleans has hands down, the coolest people, along with gorgeous scenery. Our Lady of Holy Rosary is such a gorgeous church, throw in a killer venue like Rock n' Bowl, add two really wonderful people and you've got yourself a recipe for an epic wedding. 

Much love John and Mary.

Daniel & Ashley - New Orleans City Park Proposal

It's going to be one hell of year. First my brother gets engaged, and now one of my best friends and someone I consider a brother even though we aren't blood related, popped the question. Much love guys, congrats.

Austin & Brittany - Tree of Life Proposal

So like, my younger brother got engaged. I was there to catch it, and I couldn't have been happier for the two of them.

Tony & Cheri - Cedar Grove Plantation

So here's Tony and Cheri, a couple I had never met, until the day of their wedding. Which is unusual considering I generally have a face to face meeting with every one of my couples. I didn't really know what to expect, we exchanged a few emails, and I got a really cool vibe from them. 

I had no idea how much of a treat I was in for until I got to Cheri's house for the prep. They were a couple after my own heart, a house full of anime and comic book paraphernalia.  I was in heaven and I knew right away we were going to have a blast with them.  

They had some killer details that were very Game of Thrones / medieval fantasy inspire  and a welcoming group of friends and family that was just amazing to be around. I about lost my cool when Tony showed up rocking scouters, they even friggin' lit up and spoke in Japanese! I mean, how cool is that?! 

Anyways, here they are! Congrats you two!
