I love New Orleans. I mean, I don’t just love it, I looooooove it. Not a week goes by that Jason and I don’t talk about when our next trip will be, and every time we do go down to the Big Easy, we come back making plans to pack up and move down there. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Texas girl born and bred, I love my Dallas roots, but there’s something so magical about New Orleans. The music is the best in the world, the food is to die for, the architecture is beautiful, and there’s always something fun and exciting to do. It’s also a photographer’s dream city – everywhere you look is a photo op, and it’s virtually impossible to run out of stunning backdrops for portraits and weddings and environmental shots. Any chance I get to take photos in New Orleans, I absolutely jump on, so I was beyond thrilled when Annie and Chris invited me to photograph their NOLA wedding earlier this year. Annie took me under her wing and taught me some very valuable Big Easy staples – the to-go cup, the St. Charles street car, Magazine Street, the glorious Muriel’s Restaurant, and my absolute favorite wedding tradition of all time – the Second Line. I loved it so much, I decided to do it at my own wedding! I will forever be grateful to Annie and Chris for showing me a side to the Crescent City that I never knew existed. Here are a few (okay, a LOT!) of my favorites from their wedding day:

It’s always an interesting experience when another photographer hires me to take their photos. It’s even more interesting when TWO photographers hire me to take their photos together! CheyAnne and Doug are two very talented photographers, and they just so happen to be getting married next year in their current hometown of New Orleans, LA – which also happens to be one of my favorite places in the world! I’ve been so lucky to get to visit NOLA several times this year, and every time I fall more and more in love with it. CheyAnne and Doug really wanted to capture the feel of the city, so we started off in the heart of the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and wandered around the city. Here are some of my favorites:
