Lauryn & Hayes Married ~ Part ONE

Lauryn & Hayes were wed on October 5th 2013 - the weekend of what was supposed to be Tropical Storm Karen coming to New Orleans. What a great story they have and lets just say it turned out to be a perfect day in every way! The storm ended up be nothing but some cloudy weather and these two love birds had an amazing ceremony at Immaculate Conception church (one of my favorites!) and danced the afternoon away with The Top Cats band at Omni Royal hotel in the heart of the French Quarter. I think this couple has every sign that their love will make it through anything, they are so much in love and it shows :)

Because I have so many favorite images from this day, I am going to post two entries. This first entry is from the beginning of the day while they prepared to tie the knot and the second will be from the ceremony to the exit on their horse drawn carriage... ENJOY and Congratulations!

Lisa & Jerad Married!

Lisa and Jerad were Married on May 11th, 2013 in New Orleans. These two are such a sweet couple, they have slightly opposite type personalities but seems that they fit together just right and compliment each other in a special way. It was such a joy to see them enjoying all the family and friends that came from out of town and locally to witness this special day! After having a fairly complicated time with the weather for Lisa & Jerad's engagement photos a few months back, my hope was that it would not be an issue for the Wedding. Leading up to that weekend it was in the forecast to storm all day Friday and Saturday even possibly into Sunday. Not just rain but Thunder Storms.... I have to say that it's always a wonderful surprise when the weather man is wrong! About 5am that morning it was storming indeed but later in the day toward the early afternoon it was overcast but not raining and looked as though we may luck out. We were able to capture some great portraits of the bridal party around the French Quarter before the ceremony and the sun even came out after the Beautiful ceremony at Immaculate Conception Church so we could get a few shots of the Bride and Groom before heading over to Pat O's on the River for a fun and relaxed reception. One of my favorite shots is of the guys smoking Cigars out on the balcony near the end of the night. Thanks guys for letting me in on the Cigar smoking time :) Overall the day was wonderful and a great time was had by all, thank you Lisa & Jerad for letting me be a part of your day! Enjoy!
