Big band & black tie

Maybe, like me, you’d like to be adopted by this classic couple.

Dressed to the nines in black tie.

Live music. Cajun cuisine. Bottomless cocktails.

Let’s head to New Orleans…

First looks happen once.

The photos last a lifetime.

Cocktails before vows – fun & a good tonic for the nerves.

 

Luscious urban boutique hotel vibes in the sexy south. Consider breaking tradition and kick back a drink or two before the big aisle. It’s a fun touch that can make even the most black tie affair feel a little unbuttoned. Plus, it’s a great way to take the pressure off of you and your bridal party, which will translate to how you all photograph. That’s when I step in and shutterfly.

There she is.

In sickness and in health, yada yada yada…

And they lived

happily ever after.

Kick off the reception with a banging big band.

It’s a New Orleans thing…

L

Is for the way you look at me.

 

O

Is for the only one I see.

 
 

V

Is very, very extraordinary.

 
 
 

E

Is for even more champagne.

You may be thinking this wedding was really just a Nancy Meyers film…

You haven’t even been to the reception yet.

Hard to believe, but the bride and groom eventually leave this party.

But before we send them off, how about the finer details of this New Orleans wedding?

Send them off in style, boys.

And finally a peek inside the groom’s mind…

 
 

If you laughed (or cried — or maybe even cried laughing), let’s skip the foreplay.

Let’s get to know each other.

Back to Weddings.

Take me to Whidbey Island.
