Seena and David contacted me about a year ago to dicuss photographing their wedding in New Orleans. With my husband in tow (he always seems available when cocktails are involved) we met for cocktails at Bar Tonique on Rampart to discuss their wedding photographs. Little did I know they were former Microsoft staff, which explains Seena's love of Excel with the most organized timeline I have ever seen.
Their special day started at the Bienville House Hotel and walked to Exchange Place to do a quick first look then off to The Cabildo in Jackson Square for formal portraits and their wedding ceremony officiated by Chaplain Jerry Schwehm.
To celebrate their vows they booked a second line parade down Bourbon Street, arriving at the iconic Muriel's Jackson Square for their reception. The music was provided by The Jazz Band Ballers. The cocktails flowed as guests gathered waiting for the couple's entrance and first dance. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented. Guests arrived from as far away as Japan.
So that is all the cool stuff. I should mention that, once again, the potholes and steps raised their ugly heads as I bit the dust twice before we even got to the ceremony. Bruised and scuffed knee, twisted ankle and broken camera equipment and yet thanks to my awesome, very patient assistant Brittany, we never missed a beat. Thanks to a lot of backup gear and sheer determination.
You know stepping in a pothole is one thing but to follow it up with a face plant on the pavement less than 30 minutes later definitely points to my being rather the most ungraceful photographer of all time!
Below are some of my favorites from the evening. Please check out my website for additional photos from Seena and David's beautiful wedding.
