Lauren and Philip, New Orleans

Lauren and Philip got married on Little New Year’s Eve in New Orleans. The day was incredible, highlighted by one of the most amazing finishes to a wedding I have ever experienced.
For those unfamiliar with NOLA culture, its customary to do a “second line” at wedding receptions. Here’s the basic concept. A brass band plays and marches around (they would be the primary line) like in a parade. The guests (the second line) then follow said band while dancing and singing. The guest typically wave hankies while the bride and groom spin parasols. I’ve photographed second lines in the past but they have all taken place in and around the reception hall. Lauren and Philip, on the other hand, had a police escorted second line down Bourbon Street. Keep in mind this was the day before New Year’s Eve and the French Quarter was packed! The experience will go down as one of my top 5 wedding moments of all time. Truly amazing.



















Christina & Jacob, Wedding Morning

I recently posted a blog about Christina and Jacob’s wedding in San Francisco and how I was able to capture the entire weekend. These shots are from the morning of the wedding. I captured everyone hanging out around the hostel and a stroll to the beach, which was close by. Later this week, I will be posting shots from the actual wedding!
Enjoy

Christina and Chris live in New York but chose to get married at Christina’s uncle’s home in Florence, Alabama. Christina spent her childhood summer’s at this cabin on the Tennessee River. She hoped that they could have a wedding that reflected the peace and joy of her time there while young. With a ceremony by the water, a reception among the pine trees, and bbq provided by her uncle’s smoker, they created an experience that their guests won’t soon forget. This was Alabama at its finest.
