New Orleans Vintage Wedding: Laura & Andre are married!

By far, one of my favorite first look settings ever - the Oaks behind the Audubon Clubhouse. She simply floated toward her fiance in an ethereal beauty I wish I could have captured! 1216 Studio did capture it!

The bond between this mother and daughter was definitely something special. Ms. Gayle wanted Laura's day to be perfect. She wanted it to be beautiful and seamless and everything they wanted. Ms. Gayle came to me for a middle of the road package. She wanted to make sure everything came together perfectly. And it did.

Laura and Andre are both so natural. They have a classic feel about them....as though they just stepped out of a 50s magazine where they were just walking among the oaks in Audubon. So why not have their first look and wedding under those oaks?

Laura and Andre met under the oaks where they exchanged gifts and talked quietly of their day. They were then married under those very same oaks in front of a refinished hutch (with love from her mother). And they danced the night away to the Shotgun Jazz Band!

Congratulations Laura &Andre!! I sincerely hope you have a most blessed life together!!

Jackson Square Wedding: Sandra & Larry - Beautiful Couple inside and out

It was an absolutely beautiful day in Jackson Square when Sandra & Larry exchanged vows and committed their lives to each other. Completely unlike any couple I've worked with before, I am not sure if they are more in love with each other or I am in love with them. 

Sandra and Larry were a destination couple coming from Chicago, Illinois. Even though I only really met them when they finally came to town for the, I know I was truly blessed to be among them and their friends for this very special day. 

They seem so simple and old fashioned and cute and quirky and appear to have absolutely no apprehensions. Both Larry and Sandra knew what this day was about and what it meant to each other. It was all about keeping it simple. And so they did. 

There wasn't a huge crowd or a plethora of decorations. It was just the beauty of Jackson Square and their very close family and friends. Sandra made the bouquets and bouts and they brought down many of their own decor. They even walked or took pedicabs from their hotel to the ceremony and reception and back to the hotel. 

Sandra prepped at the Intercontinental Hotel on St Charles. Her friends did the hair and makeup. They were married in Jackson Square by Helene Goldstein and then walked their way to the Original French Market Restaurant for their reception.
