A Fun Start to the Wedding Day
This wedding had everything we love: beautiful details, lots of personality, heartfelt moments, and a whole lot of fun. We started the day at the groom’s family home, where he grew up. While the bride was upstairs getting ready, the groom was downstairs in his tux, sitting at the grand piano and playing a few tunes with his groomsmen hanging out nearby. We took some portraits of the guys around the house and by the pool before they headed to the venue. Meanwhile, the bridal suite was full of excitement. We captured some beautiful portraits of the bride on the sweeping staircase before she hopped into her limo and made her way to McGovern Centennial Gardens.
A Garden Ceremony, New Orleans Energy, and a Bubble Filled Exit
McGovern Centennial Gardens was the perfect setting for their outdoor ceremony. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple exchanged their vows and officially became newlyweds. But the celebration didn’t stop at the “I do’s.” Right after the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests were led through the gardens by a lively jazz band, umbrellas in hand. The whole group turned it into a little New Orleans style parade, complete with music, dancing, and plenty of smiles. It was unexpected, energetic, and so much fun to photograph. As the sun went down, we stole the couple away for some romantic nighttime portraits before they joined everyone for the reception. Inside, floor to ceiling windows, candlelight, and elegant details created a beautiful atmosphere for dinner and dancing. Their white and gold wedding cake was a work of art, and the celebration continued late into the evening. And then came the grand exit. The couple made their getaway surrounded by a cloud of bubbles, which was such a playful and sweet way to finish the night. From the grand piano and beautiful gardens to the jazz parade and bubble filled exit, this wedding was full of personality and unforgettable moments.
