Fine Art Wedding Portraits - Creative and Unique - New Orleans Wedding Photographer

David and Jessica wanted something a little different.

A nod to their love of the city of New Orleans without the French Quarter 'been there, done that' thing.

So we chose to do a very respectful session in the cemetery. The cemeteries in New Orleans are revered.

 

One's funeral is a celebration of their life often led by a brass band parade and a second line where everyone joins in honoring their life.

 

So photographing in the cemetery here, to me, is a nod to those who went before us and paved the way for a new generation to make its mark. Jessica and David gave me complete artistic freedom only telling me they wanted something different, artistic and reflecting who they are as a couple and individuals.

This is one of my favorite shots of Jessica. Obviously, because I have created three different versions now!

It is so in-the-moment-between-posing for the portraits that it really is who Jessica is: vibrant, alive and full of love for David as she looks at him between shots. That, to me, is when a photograph is truly successful.

When it conveys an honest moment that when viewed in the future gives a glimpse into who that person was and then is presented in a creative and artistic manner without overshadowing the emotion, well then its a perfect photo.

This is just one of several I am working on. Thank you so very much Jessica and David for letting me go hawg wild on your wedding portraits!
