Meet Renata and Terence

Renata and Terence will be married in June 2010 in Jackson Square. I have wanted to do a wedding there since I first saw one in progress a while back. Renata and Terence were so much fun during their session. Renata is cheerful and bubbly, and Terence is of course tall, with a quiet but very cute demeanor. It's interesting that I generally find my couples balance each other perfectly. They laughed so much during the photos, and I got tickled every time they did. My cheeks were hurting at the end! And every time I showed Renata the back of the camera she'd say, "Oh my gosh, that's my favorite!" So Renata, you'll have to let me know which ones actually end up being your favorites. ;) Enjoy your slideshow!

Kari and Scott -- Married!!

Kari and Scott's wedding was a lot of fun. They were married at St. Dominics in Metairie, and had their reception at Pat O's on the River. Kari of course, looked gorgeous! And Scott was completely laid back and hilarious the day of the wedding. My favorite parts involved the reception. Kari was unaware of what their first dance song would be because it was a surprise from Scott. He chose "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green. I thought it was sweet then, but tonight Kari shared with me that one night when they were out a long time ago, he played that song and pulled her out onto the dance floor. Too cute!! I love it! And then, to Scott's funny side....two of his friends sang at their reception for over an hour (they were extremely good too!) and Scott again surprised Kari by joining his friends and singing "Just a Jiggelo". That was only until he met Kari though, as he sang to her in the song. ;) You have both been wonderful to work with! Thank you for letting me tell the story of your day.

Dawn and David -- Married!

Dawn and David were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the past year. They have both been so sweet and laid back, but with very fun personalities. My heart was honestly pained for them the day of the wedding though due to the weather. They were supposed to have an outdoor ceremony and reception. The weather, however, challenged them to make the final call a couple of hours before ceremony time as to whether or not to proceed inside or out. They pretty much had a 50/50 shot. But it was such a HARD decision. I love the Maison Dupuy as well, but that's my worst fear. The reception ended up being moved inside with a few tables left out by the pool. I could see disappointment on their faces during the discussion of what to do, but this couple handled it with as much grace as I believe possible for that situation. And they enjoyed their reception regardless. I hope you guys know how special I believe you are, and it has been an honor to capture your story. Enjoy!
