As we prep for a gorgeous wedding weekend, we are so excited to share Paige and Travis' beautiful spring wedding. The Elms Mansion was dripping in lush florals and romantic candlelight as the St. Charles streetcars road past just outside the gates.

When the bride and groom crowd surf at the end of the reception, you know it was a great party! Kelley and Michael's sense of adventure and dedication to each other was evident all weekend. 

Every bride cherishes her wedding dress, but Marianne's had an even deeper meaning. Marianne was searching for the perfect gift to give to her mom, something that conveyed gratitude and admiration. During this time, her mother sent her own wedding dress to Marianne to clear up space in her home. When Marianne saw her mother's dress she knew incorporating it into her wedding day would be the perfect gift. A tailor was able to make a few alterations to the dress, such as removing the bow and big sleeves (80's style staples!) and it fit perfectly. Our hearts M E L T at the sight of her mom's reaction to Marianne in her wedding dress.  Marianne then changed into a gorgeous gown from Yvonne LaFleur for the reception, complete with big sweeping ruffles and intricate beading. We wish Marianne and Clark nothing but the best and thank them for letting us capture their special day!

We don't know where to start with these two.  Their huge smiles all day and the way they speak about each other pretty much says it all.  Just watch their #BrideFilm and you're bound to start smiling too.  You have to hear what Taylor did for Katelyn after they got engaged and their reception props are some of the best we've ever seen!  Top it all off with an EPIC EXIT, and you have one amazing New Orleans wedding for two amazing people!

Kristyn and Greg's engagement story is just adorable. Greg surprised Kristyn at their new home when she thought they were meeting the painter to discuss colors. Little did she know, Greg had filled their home with pictures, candles, and her favorite cheeses (a man after our own heart hehe). Their ceremony at the St. Louis Cathedral - Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France and reception at The Hotel Monteleone were both absolutely gorgeous, and a super fun second line through the French Quarter started the party off right!

Taylor and Jack's Brennan's Restaurant rehearsal dinner takes the cake for most times I have teared up during speeches. Wow...such sweet, emotional testimonies to the strong personalities and genuine love of this adorable couple.

Jack surprised Kingsley with a Christmas Eve proposal on the front porch of her family home. What a sweet moment to share at such a meaningful spot for these two! We had a blast with this beautiful couple for their rehearsal dinner and wedding day.

After twenty (20!!!) years of being together, Cory and Jonathan celebrated their wedding in New Orleans at the Old U.S. Mint with all of their family and friends there to support them.

After Millard proposed to Alli at the same Commander's Palace table his parents and grandparents were both engaged at years before, everything went blurry for the blushing bride. Their wedding weekend embodied every bit of the classic New Orleans charm of their engagement story.

As we ring in the New Year, we reflect back on all of 2016's experiences.  We had the honor of capturing so many emotional moments that gave us a new perspective on love, family and friendship.
