Engagement sessions, even those in majestic New Orleans (French Quarter) can sometimes be mundane if the couple doesn’t bring a certain magic to the table. Alicia and Cory certainly brought on the magic! In late November this super fun couple met me in the Marigny district of New Orleans and from the beginning of the early afternoon session we were all on point. Though I normally don’t shoot in mid-day light due to harsh shadows, the winter months are more forgiving with the direction of the sun and there were tons of alleys to shield the light. I had so much fun with the couple I didn’t want to stop shooting to catch my St. Louis flight that afternoon.
We went through Jackson Square, found gorgeous backlight, water pouring from a balcony, and amazingly rich color. Alicia’s sultry looks made for some nice eye candy as she worked the camera. On March 26, 2011 Alicia and Cory marry at Afton Villa Gardens in St. Francisville, LA. As you scroll through the photos, please feel free to make comments. See the slideshow at the bottom of this post. Thanks for viewing.
Nice job man! Seems water is always falling from that balcony! It’s the one just down from Stella’s ivy wall, right? Kudos to you for seizing the moment and utilizing it really well!
Not sure where Stella’s ivy wall is but it’s near the falling water I know that near the north end of the Quarter. Thanks for the compliments. Bro, that really means a lot coming from you!!!
I’ve totally loved this session the first time I saw it when you first posted. I adore the one with that you stated is your favorite photo of the day… Amazing talent friend!!!! Love the song choice for their slideshow too!
Beautiful photography! The couple looks like so much fun with all the comical poses! I loved the colors and textures, the falling water, and the fun hat trick video! Again such beautiful work!!!
