Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Ashlee and Chad’s wedding. Chateau Estates Country Club hosted a beautiful ceremony and reception. Chad Dyle Productions captured the entire evening on several high definition video cameras. Flowers by Brittney Ray’s Florist It was also so nice to see some old friends that I have not seen in years. Here’s a few of my favorites :

Lauren, Adam, and family & friends from California, Texas, and Virginia came in town for a New Orleans destination wedding. The ceremony took place at the beautiful St Patrick’s Church. The prep and the reception was at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Below: No, that’s not the bottom of Lauren’s dress. Ann from the Astor Crowne Plaza took a regular sheet, cut some holes in it for the legs, and the bottom of the dress was kept completely dry on rainy afternoon.
Both Brittany and Dr. Richard were great to work with for their wedding. I love it when a couple puts creating great photos at the top of their priority list. Here are just a few sample shots from their wedding day. The ceremony took place at the Gretna Unitied Methodist Church and the reception was at LaMaison Creole.
Katie and Alex had a beautiful New Orleans destination wedding. With family and friends flying in from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and many other locations. The ceremony took place at the historic St Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square and the reception was held at the Hotel Monteleone in the heart of the French Qter.
A few shots from Tarah and Blake’s wedding. The ceremony was at the always beautiful Holy Name of Jesus on St. Charles. I have to give a special mention to the Audobon Tea Room located in uptown New Orleans right next to the Audobon Zoo. I love love love the lighting and the rich hard wood floors in this beautiful reception venue. The food is equally as good. For brides looking to stay in the uptown area, this place is worth looking in to. It was also a pleasure working with Suzy Marks Videography who captured the evening on video.
