St. Francisville Wedding Photography at Afton Villa Gardens | Alicia & Cory 3.26.11

Aaron Hogan — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:35:02 +0000

Alicia and Cory’s wedding back in March of 2011 was held at the beautiful and majestic Afton Villa Gardens in St. Francisville, LA. This gorgeous venue was established in 1849 and is one of the best hidden jewels in St. Francisville. The fresh spring weather was perfect the day of the wedding, but nothing compared to what a beautiful bride Alicia made. Cory was glowing the whole day every time he caught a glance at his bride! If you have ever been to St. Francisville in the Spring time, you know it is a hard sight to beat! All the flowers in the garden were in bloom, including the tulips, which made an amazing setting for their first look at each other before the ceremony. It was a true Louisiana wedding reception to end the night, complete with a funky Cajun Zydeco band! Below are the wedding vendors from this event.

Venue- Afton Villa Gardens, St. Francisville, LA
Cake company – Whole Foods Bakery

Hemingbough wedding photography | Sydney & Michael sneak peek

When I first met Sydney & Michael I knew they were going to be an easy couple to work with because they both appreciate my artistic & documentary style of wedding photography. Their true fun and whimsical personalities came out during our day trip to New Orleans for their French Quarter engagement photography session. Then I convinced Sydney that doing the first look was the best way to do her pre-ceremony photos so that not only could we capture them in their most fresh moments but also help them take the edge off of everything and look each other in the eye, having a moment to share their feelings with each other. Sydney later told me that she remembers nothing from her wedding day except those few moments she spent with Michael during the first look. That made me smile!

All the flowers were artistically designed by Lani Guilbeau of Fleur Du Jour, one of best Baton Rouge florists around.

Lani of Fleur Du Jour did such an amazing job on the flowers – so unique yet beautiful and very fitting with Sydney’s style. Way to go Lani!

First look…I love Michael’s anticipation!

Sydney had to wipe tears from Michael’s eyes!

Hemingbough’s amphitheater provides an amazing backdrop for weddings with its serenity and greenery.

Those are happy tears for a super happy night! That’s a daddy’s girl. Congratulations Sydney & Michael.
