Clare and Walker were able to get married at Brennan’s literally a day before the city of New Orleans basically shut down due to the pandemic. And what a special day it was, as they had met three years ago on this same St. Patrick’s weekend! We love hearing it from Clare, “Walker and I met at a St. Patrick's Day parade party 3 years ago to the weekend! No one introduced us, we just happened to be standing next to each other listening to the band and started talking. He didn't get my number before leaving the party so he had to hunt me down and ask around about me;). We went on our first date two weeks later and that's all it took. We have been together ever since. Right time, right place, right person!”

We are so glad we were able to share in this special weekend with this wonderful family just in time! The weekend began at their rehearsal dinner at a super cool venue, The Lighthouse on Camp Street. The weather was PERFECT and a Mardi Gras Indian even made an appearance with their awesome band. Everyone danced the night away! The next day, after getting ready with their closest friends and family, Clare and Walker said I Do at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church & International Shrine of St. Jude. Their second line was a little different than normal because the band was not aloud to lead the way due to Covid-19, but it was never the less a blast! Guests played kazoos and waved their handkerchiefs with the happy couple! Their reception took place on a lovely evening in the French Quarter at the always beautiful Brennan’s and the night ended with ribbon wands and lots of laughter.

We hope Grace and Joey will make you smile BIG! These two have a happiness that is absolutely contagious. We had so much fun getting to know them and capturing all of the emotional moments throughout their wedding weekend at the Windsor Court...and we maybe shedding a few tears ourselves. Grace is absolutely stunning, and she is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out. We loved the lace detailing on her dress and she finished off the look with Joey's grandmother's stunning pearl earrings. Perfection. Joey looked pretty dapper himself in his custom suit from Knot Standard in Dallas! They met on the rooftop of the Windsor Court Hotel for their first look and shared an intimate moment together before the craziness of the day began. During their ceremony at Immaculate Conception, Father O’Halloran, a friend of Joey's family, gave such a moving homily discussing that marriage is a choice made every day by the couple to love each other, and to choose joy and kindness. No words could ring truer than during these wild times. Everyone then second lined back to the Windsor Court for an awesome party led by the Heather Hayes band. It was a special weekend that we were honored to share with these lovely families. Thank you to the always amazing Grand Events and cheers to the Tumminellos!

Katie and Alex are two of the happiest people we have ever met! During these crazy times, watching their Bride Film will surely bring a smile to your face because it has definitely brought smiles to ours while editing. The rehearsal dinner speeches at Windsor Court were some of our favorite we have heard - they will make you laugh and cry.

Prepare for an extra special Bride Film because this is the wedding of our baby bro, Joe and his beautiful new wife, Kayla...the #SweatyPalmers.  All of our couples are special to us, but we have been waiting for this wedding for a LONG time.  Their boho backyard destination wedding took place this past fall at our sister and brother in law's beautiful home in Atlanta, GA.  A LOT of love and hard work went into this amazing celebration that has been 11 years in the making.  Yes, Joe and Kayla have been together for 11 YEARS!  Kayla has been our sister for a while now, but it meant so much to our family for these two to finally make it official!  Special shout out to Natalie and Chris for working so hard to make their home the most amazing wedding venue ever!  And huge thanks to our super talented friends Brock and Dustin for capturing the weekend so beautifully! We wish we could go back to this amazing Fall week but at least we have this film to relive all of the moments.

Happy Anniversary, Becca and Frank! The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans always provides the most glamorous backdrop for a New Orleans destination wedding!  Becca and Frank started their wedding weekend off in true New Orleans fashion: throwing beads off a Bourbon Street balcony to excited recipients below! A lot of their guests were from out of town, so they wanted to bring them to the heart of our city - the French Quarter.  The custom welcome bags included such adorable designs of New Orleans landmarks such as the streetcar, Superdome, and St. Louis Cathedral.  Everyone prepped at the Ritz-Carlton where the wedding ceremony and reception took place as well.  This hotel provides a perfect jumping off point for so many iconic destinations around the city.  We loved hearing the story of how Frank proposed to Becca as she told her bridesmaids.  She had no idea it was coming!  Come ceremony time, the ballroom was absolutely glowing for the couple.  The rabbi that married Becca and Frank also married Becca’s parents 30 years earlier, so you have to hear his personal message to the couple.  We were so honored to capture this beautiful Bride Film!  Check out all of the details below and be transported back to this classic New Orleans wedding!

The NOPSI Hotel New Orleans is one of the hottest new venues! We loved filming Zoe and Hayter’s dreamy wedding reception in this hotel’s beautiful exposed brick ballroom. The color palette for this wedding was stunning with rich pinks and reds, accented with gold geometric pieces. These two lovebirds also said their wedding vows in another new venue, the Four Winds.

Private family estate weddings are so unique and personal to the couple. Marshdown, our bride’s family’s waterfront property, is such a peaceful retreat and the most dreamy setting for a wedding! Kristie and Hunter said their vows right on the edge of the water with the moss covered trees surrounding them. We love their soothing color palate of white, cream, and grey accented by tons of lush florals and greenery by the amazing Kim Starr Wise. After the ceremony, all of the guests headed to the gorgeous clear tent for dinner, drinks, and dancing under the stars. Az-Izz Band kept the party going all night and everyone had a blast! Cheers to the happy couple!

Andrew and Paul love spending time with their dogs and traveling, especially to romantic Paris where Andrew popped the question! According to Paul, "Andrew waited for the tower to twinkle and offered up his heartfelt question! We must have taken 50 pictures, ring on finger, to capture the moment." We would have done the same thing! After 11 years together (!!), these two hosted the most unique New Orleans wedding to celebrate their love with family and friends. Their wedding vision of celebrating a "night full of love, light, and sound" truly came to life in the magical French Quarter. Their intimate ceremony took place at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum and started with a soothing sound bath led by Swan Michelle from Swan River Yoga. What a peaceful way to make everyone feel present in the moment! The group then second lined with KinFolk Brass Band to Brennan's Restaurant for their lovely reception with awesome entertainment by Kookie Baker and Sexxi Lexxi. The courtyard at Brennans looked absolutely dreamy with lush florals and flickering candlelight by Herbivore Floral Designs and Luminous Events. We were so honored to share in Andrew and Paul's special day and had a blast shooting alongside our super talented friend Heather from Dark Roux!

Gabrielle and Brent met in dental school and have adventured through life together ever since! We had so much fun with them their entire wedding weekend from their Audubon Clubhouse rehearsal dinner to their beautiful reception at The Roosevelt New Orleans. We love hearing our couples’ engagement stories! Gabrielle had no idea Brent was going to propose on their amazing trip to Greece, so you can imagine her surprise. Their friends were there to capture the entire moment. You have to see and hear the story from Gabrielle herself!
