Stephanie and Jared, along with their parents, threw one heck of a party at The Pavilion of Two Sisters at New Orleans City Park! Â I always scroll through the photos before I begin writing so that I can collect my thoughts. Â If we’ve done our job correctly — many parts of the day come flooding back to me. Â The set of gorgeous images and moments is no different! Â They make me smile in fact.
When we got to the bridal suite, preparations were in full swing, and with 10 bridesmaids there is never a dull moment! Â I absolutely loved Stephanie’s bridal prep attire — Adorable! Â (I forget where you said it was from Stephanie…) Â Once Stephanie was dressed and ready, she shared a special moment with her parents before heading to the courtyard at The Windsor Court for some group photos. Â From there the group traveled to St. Anthony of Padua on Canal Street for the ceremony. Â It’s been awhile since we have been to this cathedral, but I love the architecture at this particular one. Â Jared’s Godfather assisted in marrying the pair, making it even more meaningful. Â As the two burst out the back doors of the cathedral at the end of the ceremony, they pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening! Â The streetcar trolley shuttled them over to City Park to the reception at the Pavilion of Two Sisters. Â This was one of those evenings that took no time at all to get started. Â With Bucktown Allstars at the helm though, a good party is always in store! Â The trust fall that Stephanie did into Jared’s brother’s laps for the garter removal was hysterical! Â I adore the moment of her in the circle of people having the time of her life, and Jared’s hot dog hat was cracking me up! Â There’s no doubt that the two of you had a wonderful time. Â I’m always thrilled to see a couple truly get to enjoy their time at their reception, surrounded by those they love the most. Â Thank you, thank you for allowing us to be on this journey with you guys. Â It’s been wonderful getting to know both of you, and your families! Â Enjoy!
