Hemingbough is a beautiful setting for a wedding, especially when you’ve got the likes of Baton Rouge’s top notch wedding coordinator Allie Webster of Weddings By Allie as well as flowers by Baton Rouge’s premier florist, Lani Guilbeau of Fleur Du Jour as your vendors. Kristin Jarvis and Matt Marrs tied the knot on a beautiful late May day at Hemingbough in St. Francisville. The couple now resides in the Mandeville/Covington area. Check out Kristin and Matt’s wedding photography slideshow below. View in full screen if you like.

Angola Prison engagement session | Amy & Brian

I baptize thee among the wheat.

EVkKwi Angola Prison engagement session | Amy & Brian

Here’s a fun little sneak peek of Amy and Brian’s engagement session we did on Angola Prison property April 25, 2010. This sequence was from a wheat field near the old death row building. I don’t normally upload cheesy things like this (animated gifs…so 1990s!!!) but whatever. This couple was super fun and this shows it.

Rosemary Beach Florida wedding photography | Shelley & Don 3.27.10

Having just returned from Santa Monica, CA doing an engagement session, I immediately left for Rosemary Beach, FL to photograph Shelley and Don’s destination wedding in Rosemary Beach, FL over the March 26-28 weekend. Shelley and Don are both residents of Baton Rouge, LA but they fell in love with the quaint community near Destin, FL. I’d never been to Rosemary Beach prior to the wedding but now I have good reason to return. It’s basically set up like a movie set complete with people strolling in the park with their dogs and tossing balls to one another.

The coverage began with a rehearsal dinner Friday night at Tuscany Italian Bistro Destin, FL. 36178 Emerald Coast Pkwy Destin, FL 32541. The food was AWESOME! But even better was the company and the stories Shelley and Don’s closest friends and family shared about them. There were tears, laughter, and more tears. Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE photographing rehearsal dinners?!!

The wedding was held on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at Rosemary Beach’s beautiful chapel-like Town Hall building near the Western Green. The reception was on the Western Green. Of course the lighting was perfect for the 4pm ceremony. I adore late afternoon lighting and it only got better after the ceremony. The reception was held under tents and at one point just around sunset I asked the couple if I could make some portraits of them alone on the beach. They were totally excited about it and we milked the light until there was no more.

Video was provided by CF Weddings and a preview of the wedding video will be online shortly and will be linked to this blog posting. It’s gonna rock so be on the lookout for that within a week.

Enjoy the colors and details as much as I did. Leave your feedback if you so desire.

April 30, 2010 - 3:42 PM Don - Great photo strip.  So excited to see whats next. I need to check to see if the audio issue was on my end.  No sound. Thanks Aaron   Don

May 10, 2010 - 10:13 AM Ann Darling - OUTSTANDING!!!  ONE OF THE VERY BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN.  THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SPECIAL DAY WITH ME.

May 10, 2010 - 7:30 PM Sheryle Bonin - Aaron - The video is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby photography in Baton Rouge | Adia @ 3 months March 2010

Erin and Nicholas brought little curious Adia to my studio in March for her first professional baby portrait session. It was time for her three month old portraits. Her huge eyes buzzed and whirled with amazement at the big soft studio lights. I felt blessed to capture the most special bond among the family with a new addition. Adia is scheduled for 3 more sessions with me so I can document her first year of development. We’re looking forward to putting a book of the best together at the end of the year. I offer a “baby plan” option for people wishing to document their baby’s first year. Contact me for more information about it.
