Christmas Destination Wedding in New Orleans

Christy and Jason’s Christmas-time wedding at Hotel Provincial in New Orleans was nothing short of magical.  Having shared numerous Christmases together in New Orleans in their youth, this  intimate affair held a special significance for them, as they finally reunited, and rekindled a relationship that was simply meant to be. Opting for a small yet deeply personal celebration, they exchanged vows surrounded by close friends and family.  The bride said of their many trips to New Orleans at Christmas, “Now a tradition, in 2023 it seems only fitting we exchange our vows surrounded by those we love the most, sharing in the holiday sights and sounds of the city we love the most, on our special weekend.”

 

The charm of the occasion was heightened by a pretty significant downpour. With a few pivots, ducks under balconies and the help of  some clear umbrellas, Christy and Jason embraced the moment, and turned  adversity into adventure. After the wedding celebration, the couple, along with their wedding party, joyfully paraded through the rain-soaked streets in true New Orleans fashion, with a lively second line led by The JayWalkers Secondline Band.  Their Christmas wedding became a beautiful reflection of their love, marked by an unspoken promise to dance through life together, rain or shine.

    Beautiful New Orleans Courtyard Elopement at Pharmacy Museum

    Dana and Andy’s love story is nothing short of a modern-day fairytale. Having known each other for a very long time, they embarked on a journey filled with twists and turns, and eventually found their way back to each other.  I’ve heard it said that the third time’s the charm and I have a good feeling about that for them! They finally decided to literally tie the knot in the vibrant and enchanting city of New Orleans, a place that Dana had visited a dozen times prior.  It was Andy’s very first encounter with the food, music, and architecture of the Big Easy and he summed it up aptly stating, “This city is all about the senses!”

    Dana and Andy chose the historic Melrose Mansion on Esplanade Avenue as their get-ready location, setting the stage for a day filled with nostalgia and romance. The couple then embarked on a picturesque adventure through the French Quarter, driving a vintage baby blue 1970 Mustang. The magic truly unfolded at the enchanting courtyard of the Pharmacy Museum, where they exchanged their vows. Minister Toya conducted a heartwarming ceremony as tears of joy and love flowed freely.  After the wedding, we embarked on a brief photoshoot around the French Quarter that ended with a kiss and a private dance atop Oscar Dunn Park, across from the historic St. Louis Cathedral.   We then bid the newlyweds farwell, as they headed off into the night with a sign proclaiming “Just Married!” It was a full day of tears, laughter, and unforgettable moments that will forever be etched in their hearts, a testament to the power of love and the enchantment of New Orleans!

    Small, Yet Breathtaking Wedding at House of Broel

    In the beautiful lower garden district of New Orleans, amidst the mansions that adorn historic, tree-lined, St. Charles Avenue, Alea and Ronald celebrated their love in a small and intimate wedding in the courtyard of House of Broel. What this lovely couple proved with their special day is that you don’t need a grandiose affair to create a breathtaking and unforgettable wedding. The essence of love, the warmth of family, and the magic of the moment can shine just as brightly in an intimate setting.

    Alea, radiant and poised, broke away from tradition with a stunning gray wedding gown that turned heads and left an indelible mark on the day. With a crown that adorned her head like a true queen, she looked nothing short of majestic. The House of Broel served as the perfect backdrop, adding a touch of timeless elegance to this small, yet incredibly beautiful wedding. The message that Alea and Ronald send is clear: love knows no bounds, and its beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, not the scale of the celebration. Their New Orleans wedding at the House of Broel was a testament to the power of intimacy and the simple, profound elegance of two hearts becoming one.

      12 Years of Success, thanks to you!!

      Our 12th Annual Food Drive at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church Pumpkin Patch was yet another success! Your generosity in donating will yield a total of 2,136 meals for those in need within our community through Second Harvest. We are overjoyed to have seen both familiar faces and new friends who came forward to lend their support to this meaningful project!

       

      Our hearts are filled with gratitude for each and every one of you who played a part in this endeavor. Your participation and dedication to this cause have made a significant impact, and we cannot thank you enough for your invaluable contributions.

       

       

      What started as a small way for us to meet more families when we were first starting our business has blossomed into a community event that we are very proud to bring forth year after year. Giving back to the community is one of the core values of our business, and to give back to a cause that helps eliminate food insecurity in our community is extremely rewarding to us. We believe that everyone is capable of doing some small thing to give back, and we like to say that what we can do is feed people with our cameras. Even small events like ours add up to big results when everyone pitches in!
