Continuing with our [100:1 series], we’ve complete the guys getting ready shots. I’ve got a few shots of John & his guys to share that I shot while Meg was working with the girls on their getting ready.

SHERI: What a handsome groom!!

JOHN: Me and my guys. Even though they are just background in this shot, their harassing comments could still be heard!

SHERI: John actually came up with this idea! He got each of his groomsmen argyle socks in their favorite football team’s colors. Guess which one is John?? Hint: He’s a HUGE University of Tennessee Vols fan!

JOHN: One of my favorite shots. I got all of the guys argyle socks in their favorite colors. Being a huge University of Tennessee fan, I am in the orange socks.

SHERI: These were some random drunk guys that wanted to join the party!! Gotta love New Orleans!! HA!

JOHN: These guys were walking by as we were taking photos and wanted to be in the photos with us. What can I say, New Orleans is called the Big Easy and these guys had been enjoying themselves for a few hours already.

CHARLES: It was an awesome morning…and can you think of a more exciting place to shoot than New Orleans?! The Saints were playing at home that weekend, so there was quite a crowd in town.

CHARLES: We finished up the guys formals, and I booked it over the Loews New Orleans Hotel to meet up with Meg & the girls! The next group of images were shot by Meg during the getting ready.

SHERI: Glenn from Perfect Presentations did a phenomenal job with our flowers! I was beyond happy!

SHERI: Awh!! I loved my shoes!! It took me so long to pick them out because #1, I wanted something with a low heel—I’m so tall and I didn’t want to be towering over John and #2, it’s hard to find bridal shoes with a low heel that are cute! Meg actually helped me make the decision between this pair and another pair. She’s more than a wedding photographer, folks… she’s a fashion consultant, social worker/therapist, dress cleaner, the list goes on and on!! (Love ya Meg!)

SHERI: This is one of my favorite special details of our wedding. I knew I wanted a locket to wear on my bouquet with my Dad and Grandpa’s photos in it, to have them with me as I walked down the aisle, and when I found this fleur de lis locket, I was ecstatic!! The fleur de lis is a well-known symbol of New Orleans (due to its French roots) and it’s also one of my favorite things! We subtly used the fleur de lis on our save-the-dates and invitations, and so when I found this locket, I felt like it was made for me!

SHERI: I love this close-up shot of the detail on my shoes.

SHERI: Another special detail, my garter embroidered with our married initials and our wedding date.

SHERI: John called me right after he opened my gift to him. I was so excited to hear his voice! …and Meg made sure she cropped out all those hair clips I had in my hair at the time!!

SHERI: I LOVE this shot! I had no idea Meg got this! I was sitting in a chair waiting for my turn at hair and make-up and she snapped this photo.

SHERI: Who knows what I was laughing at! I think we were talking about Britney Spears!! Hahaha!

JOHN: This is one of my favorite photos of Sheri of all time. It captures her simple and elegant beauty with the emotion of joy on her face. I love it!

SHERI: Seeing my hair for the first time. I was so excited! I was starting to feel like a real bride!

SHERI: One of my favorite shots! My sister, my Maid of Honor, is in the background helping me while I put on my earrings. Awh!!

SHERI: Reading the card from John… I started off laughing, but then he got me!

SHERI: I love this shot of my girls and me!

SHERI: This was taken right outside of the hotel! Isn’t that cool? I was very thankful to have these shots since I wasn’t able to do a formal bridal session.

SHERI: Outside of the hotel AGAIN! Meg and Charles are awesome!!
