Destrehan Plantation Wedding Photography | Adriene & Mark 10.10.09

Aaron Hogan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:37:47 +0000

Adriene & Mark are one of those special couples that come into my life only once in a while who bring peace to me as a photographer. They are truly in love as was evident during their Baton Rouge engagement session at a local park in Goodwood. On October 10, 2009, their wedding day, it rained most of the day until the late afternoon. I was able to do some bridal portraits before the ceremony of Adriene at Destrehan Plantation in Destrehan, LA, close to New Orleans. Adriene did not want Mark to see her prior to the ceremony in her beautiful wedding dress so we did the session with just her in the historic Destrehan home which was built in 1787. We got special permission to shoot inside the home.

Engagement Photography | Baton Rouge | River Road | Shelley & Don

Shelley and Don share a love not only for each other but also for cycling, the outdoors, cows and their King Charles Cavalier- Noonie. With this in mind I knew the perfect location to shoot their engagement photography session: their backyard along with Noonie and random spots along River Road in Baton Rouge, LA. River Road has both beautiful open fields with hay and great cycling grounds. The locations worked out great and their enthusiasm was even better. Thanks Shelley and Don for allowing me to be your photographer! I am really looking forward to your destination wedding at Rosemary Beach, FL in March 2010.

Dang- Look at that BLING! Way to go, Shelley!

Ahh the great outdoors!

I think I remember them telling me they both really hate their feet. Oh well.

Check out the merchandise!

A beautiful end to a beautiful shoot. Thanks Shelley and Don, it was a blast!

Downtown Baton Rouge engagement photography | Katie & Ryan

Katie and Ryan are super fun and extremely happily engaged. When I first met with Katie during our initial wedding photography consultation, I knew she was going to be a blast to work with. Then I met Ryan during the recent downtown Baton Rouge and we knew we’d get along. We had fun shooting downtown at Tsunami, the Shaw Center and inside Red Star Bar. I am looking forward to their wedding on July 2, 2010 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church and reception at Oak Lodge.

Here’s some engagement photos from our session on September 29, 2009. But first, be sure to play their fun slideshow to give you an overview of their engagement session.

Happy bride-to-be. She couldn't stop smiling and laughing the entire session.

"Bling, Bling," says the ring.

What a beautiful couple!

One of my favorites of Katie and Ryan! They are adorable people and so fun-loving.

Inside the Shaw Center for the Arts

Another of my favorites...oooh, the sky is so pretty. But someone had to add grafitti to one of BR's historic landmarks.

Playing like children on the water tower.

Gorgeous eyes, Katie.

So sweet yet slightly sensual. And a bit grainy.
