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.

BEYOND STUNNING! I love the color palette Sydney & Michael chose – very striking. Looks like an amazingly beautiful and fun time. I got a little lump in my throat when I saw the photo of Sydney whiping away Michael’s tears during the first look session. How sweet!
