Meet Brittany and Ben!

Brittany and Ben will also be married this October on the 2nd at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Thibodaux. I had a great time with them during our shoot. I often ask couples to do what I call an "almost kiss." It was so cute because Ben had a hard time not kissing her when I'd ask them to do this. The even cuter part is that they've been together for 7 or 8 years, so it's always nice to see a couple still that into each other after that long! :)

Ben proposed to Brittany the night after Christmas when they were in New Orleans, and even had a poem he wrote called "The Night After Christmas." I may have to ask Brittany for permission to post it on here because it's amazing. The fence that you'll see with the red wall was where they stopped when they were walking around that night, and he proposed there. ;) I just love engagement stories!!

We wrapped up the shoot around the dome because they wanted to sport their Saints attire. We had fun goofing off around there for some fun photos. Enjoy!

Meet Tori and Phillip

Tori and Phillip will be getting married October 22nd at the Pavillion of Two Sisters in City Park. We recently photographed their engagement session in the Quarter. Even though we haven't hit June yet, it was quite humid that day. Luckily, we opted for the morning hours, so it was still bearable. It was cute because they started out a little nervous, but were having a great time by the end. Tori sent me a message the next day saying that they had fun, but they were exhausted after! Everybody always seems to have new respect for models after being on that side of the camera. ;) I loved their idea to also go to Plum Street Snowballs for pictures. And I got to have my first snowball there; I'm usually a Hansen's gal all the way! The ladies at Plum St. were great, they even gave Tori and Phillip matching t-shirts that they sported for the last few pictures. It was a great treat to wrap up the shoot!

Julia and Brock -- Married!

Julia and Brock were married on April 17th at the St. Louis Cathedral with a second line by Dr. Jazz to the Omni Royal for the reception. Both Julia and Brock are very detail-oriented, we had a timeline that was crazy organized! :) And for the most part we were able to stick to it throughout much of the day. They allowed plenty of time in the schedule for us to get some great images of the two of them, as well as the entire bridal party. I'm always like a kid in a candy store when I get that much time for pictures! I must say that I am very pleased with the images we were able to capture. I have many favorites, but two that come to mind are one of the ones of them walking down the street together, and the other of them walking through the saber arch right outside the cathedral -- that one may be because that was my first saber arch. ;)

Thank you for allowing me to tell the story of your day. It has been a pleasure working with you guys and your families too!
Enjoy!!
