| Meet Rebecka. Henderson Beach has a great "runway" for brides. |
| A tender moment with dad who was waiting for her at the end of the boardwalk. |
| Meet our love-struck groom, Andy. |
I have to thank the entire crew at Nancy's Haute Affairs for making everything at this wedding flow perfectly. Gus & Melissa - terrific job! We recommend Nancy's Haute Affairs on our wedding vendors we love page.
Check out the adorable seating guide for the guests. |
| Rebecka had a unique idea for her reception - dueling pianos! She booked the incredible team from Seville Quarter, and made sure each guest was in on the action with custom song request booklets doubling as placecards. |
| Poolside with moonlight. And a peek at Gus Silivos in action behind the raw bar. |
| And the money shot - courtesy of MJ. |
| The guests treated themselves to a decadent ice cream bar in lieu of a traditional groom's cake. |
| Rebecka + Andy incorporated sparklers...but not in a traditional way. They asked their guests to illuminate their first dance with sparklers all around the dancefloor! |
Rebecka's mom helped her design this absolutely fantastic photo booth. I heard a rumor that Rebecka is taking her show on the road. So for all of you Meg Baisden bride's out there - if you need a photo booth for your reception, shoot me an email & we'll make sure Rebecka gets the message.
Congratulations to the newlyweds. It was an honor to part of your gorgeous wedding day! |

| How precious are these little flowergirls?! |
| So I have this thing for stained glass... |
| ...perhaps because I never attended a church with stained glass windows, I've always found them captivating... |
| And these were ENORMOUS - check it: |
| As you might've guessed - we were banished to the balconey for the service - well, not just us, ALL photo & video - church rules and all that jazz. But it was a really lovely service, despite the lack of photo opps. |
| Since we didn't have any real 'getting ready' coverage - Samantha made a special request that I do "ya know, one of your awesome shoe shots!" I took several... |
| LOVE IT! My shot on the left, Charles' on the right... |
| We only had a few moments with this car before the newlyweds were ushered into their reception - but I just adore these photos. Something about a cherry red vintage car and a bride and groom .... YUM! |
| Toasting his bride . I particularly love the slideshow playing on a big screen in the background - so they are, essentially, watching themselves. :) |
| Fun with sparklers. (You have no idea how many sparklers they burned through trying to get this right!) |
| Thanks to the newlyweds for inviting us to be a part of your engagement and wedding! xoxo, Meg |

Kati booked with our studio over two years prior to her big day - and along the way y'all have seen them on the blog for their engagement session and bridal session - and a few of you have even had the pleasure of meeting Kati! It goes without saying that we were *SO* excited for Kati + Troy's wedding day to finally roll around.
The morning started off at the International House - a lovely boutique hotel in New Orleans. Meg has a longtime love affair with chandeliers... (the ones in our house are borderline ridiculous!) and then combined with a pair of "pretty-pretty" pumps... what else does a photographer need? |

| Kati - you were a stunning bride. |
| Since I am running the show for this post - I'm sharing two shots from the often-overlooked guys prep ;) |
| Following their first sight... |
| Meg really loved that chandelier - which, it turns out, really worked with the decor of the day - wait until we get to the reception! |
| The ceremony was all about the softer shades of blue - but they kicked up the intensity & drama for the nighttime. |
| The ceremony was held at the world-famous landmark: the St Louis Cathedral in the heart of New Orleans. Locals have been worshipping and marrying at this historic site since 1727! While the structure has changed multiple times over the years, there is something incredibly powerful about exchanging vows on grounds that so many have come to pray and unite... |
| With churches this grand, there is really no need for added decoration - but Kati managed to sneak in a little extra sparkle for her walk down the aisle. |
| The candlelit reception was held at the New Orleans Board of Trade - with cocktail hour kicking the party off in the courtyard. |
| I'm including a ton of recption detail shots because my wife told me to. She seems to think that our readers might enjoy this type of stuff :) |
| Meg was completely enamoured with this blinged-out cake stand and these crystal fluer-de-lis charms. |
| The lighting was fan-tastic... |
| One of the prettiest cake tables I have ever seen. I'm giving it a Smarty Pants Award just for being totally fabulous. |
| Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler = Let the Good Times Roll! |
| And what would a New Orleans reception be without a second line through the Quarter? |
| Playing with a little motion now... |
| It truely was the perfect end to a perfect day. Thanks for having us, guys! |
Also, a quick shout out to Emily & Valerie over at Get Polished Events for making everything (& everyONE!) picture-perfect and, as always, making our job easier! If you are planning a New Orleans area wedding, hurry on over to get on their calendar - they are deservedly sought-after New Orleans event planners!
Oh, and just a reminder - remember to keep voting for your favorites and telling us what you love! |

Last month Charles and I took a drive over to Plaquemine, Louisiana to photograph the picturesque southern wedding of Reily & Doug. The ceremony was held in the garden beside the family home that was once occupied by Reily's grandparents. Reily spent many weekends in her childhood attending family weddings and celebrations at this former plantation, dreaming of the day she would have her own 'backyard' wedding...
As a lover of vintage books, this might go down as my favorite shoe shot - ever. |

| I really loved the attire for the guys - perfect for an afternoon ceremony. |
| Doug and his brothers escorted their mother down the aisle. |
| An emotional moment for Doug... |
| Could this place BE any prettier?! |
| On the lawn in front of the house... |
| How spectacular is that sky?! |
| For me, THIS is what southern weddings are all about... |
| Thanking their guests for coming... |
And a special treat today because we've fallen a bit behind on blogging and you deserve something nice... A new 100:1 feature - well, closer to 200 images from 1 wedding, but who's counting? ;)
