October 10, 2010, probably the busiest wedding day of the year in the US, I was fortunate not only to photograph my new favorite top New Orleans wedding venue Latrobe’s On Royal, but also capture the essence of a newlywed couple who couldn’t be more perfect for each other. Mary and Mark, currently living in Cincinnati, OH, are lovers to the “nth” degree. Their fiery love for one another is contagious, bold and beautiful.
As you watch the slideshow below, enjoy the colors and textures of Latrobe’s On Royal. But also experience the depth of character within Mary and Mark as you appreciate their dancing and musical tastes. These two lovers are at home within the French Quarter, and I hope they decide to move there one day. In the meantime, my goal is to bring them right back to that special October day in the French Quarter. Oh, and what an awesome Second Line dance around the block following the reception!
Here are the vendors for Mary and Mark’s wedding.

Please feel free to leave comments if you appreciate the slideshow. Thank you!
Aaron,
You certainly captured Mary and Mark’s magical wedding into a magical video. The video transported me right back to the celebration and made me smile for 10 straight minutes. Simple a phenomenal piece of works. “ Thanks for the memories” . It was an enchanted wedding and your work has made it possible for us to enjoy it time and again.
Jeanne
Jeanne, you are a jewel! I’m so glad you enjoyed the work. I love, love, loved photographing those two lovebirds. :)
Aaron,
Your work so elequently captures the spirit of the day; your kind words capture the spirit of our young marriage.
While this montage lasts ten minutes, it goes by as quick as the day did. We are so happy to have this preserved like no one else could have; so happy to have details that we caught that we can only confirm with your work.
You managed to capture some of what we missed in the whirlwind of being with each other, along with the very spirit of what it means to have publically comitted to a lifetime together. There are so many emotional moments: a first dance, a touching tribute, a toast, a family, friends, and what was certainly a room full of love. These photos are more than just pictures, they are a reminder of where we have come from and our plans for the future. The story they tell gives a glimpse of more than just a single day – they show hope in the eyes of a child, tears of joy in the eyes of a mother, excitement of a bride and groom as they stare into each others eyes and realize that this really did just happen.
I type here with a beautiful wife beside me, tears of joy in her eyes: a present that you have unknowingly provided.
Thank you for putting so much heart into your work.
Mark
Aaron, our wedding photographs were one of the most important elements of our wedding. We wanted/needed someone special not just someone that understands the technical aspects of photography but an artist. Without question we found that with you.
Art should create emotion and for an artist to accomplish this goal he must give of himself and show the world what he sees. I have viewed this astonishing slideshow several times and each time I find new details and new tears of joyfulness fill my eyes. Aaron, you put your heart and soul into our wedding, it is a gift we will cherish for a life time.
I love it and can I use some of the pics on my website, It is under construction, Thanks,Erin Moreau finishstudio 843 The Hair and Make up Place.
These photos are absolutely gorgeous!!! I felt like I was taken back in time to that wonderful day and couldn’t help but smile. Thanks to Mary and Mark for such an enchanting day and you, Aaron, for capturing all the magic. Beautiful pictures for a beautiful couple.
Guys, thank you all so very much for your kind comments. Mary and Mark, you blow me away with your poetic interpretation of the photos. I am glad to share my gifts with you. Can’t wait to work with you both again.
