The beautiful bride walked to her groom at the Hilton Riverside in downtown New Orleans, La. Then, guests were whisked away in stretch limousines to Presidential Palace in Kenner, La. A delicious buffet served the guests southern favorites such as jambalaya! A decadent five-flavor, five-tier cake was enough to satisfy Brianne and Roman’s friends and family, but the Hilton Riverside Hotel threw in brownies, cheesecake and bread pudding, just to make sure everybody was happy. Be sure to check out their wedding featured in ESSENCE magazine.

SURPRISE! A grand surprise was in store for this beautiful bride, her parents surprised her with a Rolls Royce! Friends and Family were whisked away in black limousines to Greater Mount Carmel Baptist Church in New Orleans, La. A beautiful duet sang out as the bride walked to meet her groom. Afterwards guests arrived to a lavish reception on St. Charles complete with ostrich feather centerpieces and champagne for every guest upon arrival. The catering and music were above and beyond anything I had ever seen! These attributes made this the event of the season!
Peacock and Bling...what a wonderful combination! Oakland's Museum in Mufreesboro, TN became a bridal fairy tale come true with peacock feathers, lime green and navy for Lindsey and Willie Rust. The blushing bride was beautiful in her white gown trimmed with rhinestones and beading and an ivory sash. Her bouquet was adorned with peacock feathers, jewels and beautiful white flowers. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Paul Warfield on the lawn of the main house. After ceremony pictures, the bridal party entered the reception to Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke and the Bride and Groom followed afterwards. Once the entire bridal party was on the dance floor, they did the Harlem Shake. Their family and friends loved it! I thought it was inventive and fun! The bride was so thoughtful, she even provided babysitting services at the reception site for her guests! Shortly after the Soul Train, the Bride and Groom cut the cake and it was delicious! What a wonderful wedding for a wonderful couple! Enjoy your happily ever after Lindsey and Willie Rust!
could be what defining qualities of the two engagement parties on the grounds of Nadine and Paul Robin. Each engagement party although different themes certainly didn't disappoint in style and class in Covington, La. The parties were held at their exquisite home and pool area. One party's mood was set to the music of a jazz keyboardist while the other was set to a mariachi band. Whether you sipped customized cocktails or frozen margaritas, these were definitely not the parties to miss!  |

After the loving presentation from her sisters and the father of the groom spoke, I walked around with the Polaroid camera like she requested and took pictures as their guest book. The pralines were locally grown along with the voodoo dolls to add that Louisiana flair to their perfect day. Dr. Jazz played during the cocktail and throughout the reception with special requests from the Bride. Here is another photo! http://juliabaileyphotography.pixieset.com/chauntelleandjoshua/p/112266616/

Muriel's in the French Quarter is worth every single penny. Their staff is amazing...every single one of them. Maria, the coordinator, was so helpful and the entire staff was so accommodating. And the food was delicious, probably the best steak I have ever eaten. Then the sparklers sent off the beautiful couple to the Second Line where the entire Bridal Party and their friends and family walked back to their hotel. A wonderful day for a beautiful couple!

Their first look brought tears to my eyes in this simple but elegant theme that tied family traditions and modern marriage into one party. The ceremony started at 5pm at Palmettos on the Bayou by the Oak Tree in the front. Beautiful pink roses adorned an arch at the altar. Pink rose flower balls hung by black iron things. Katie looked ever so elegant in her gown from David's Bridal. After announcing them as husband and wife, the party started! The boogie booth welcomed guests during cocktail hour. After eating a delicious buffet, speeches from the maid of honor and the best man and father of the bride ensued. A traditional Japanese ritual, Kagami biraki, was performed. The cake was cut and while David and Katie lived it up on the dance floor, guests had a blast!

Fireworks and Fun with rustic/edgy that incorporated family and friends theme for the nuptials at Southern Oaks Plantation in New Orleans, La. The horse drawn carriage escorted Meagan to the end of the aisle where she walked through the candle lit aisle to her groom. After the ceremony fireworks exploded as Meagan and Jesse were whisked away in the carriage while the guests headed inside for the cocktail hour. Southern Oaks Plantation was a beautiful venue for both their ceremony and reception. Just Be PhotoJennic took the awesome shots! Meagan and Jesse choreographed their first dance. Their cake was literally to die for with zombies crawling up to the Corpse Bride cake topper. Most definitely an event to remember for all their family and friends.
The Sweet Couple, Mason and Kelsey extended their invitation to a Tuscany themed bridal shower to family and friends at the Bethany Lutheran Church in Slidell, La. The entire family cooked, baked and grilled the most delicious food! The buffet wasn't complete until Mrs. Lori (Mason's Mom)'s Chicken Andouille Pasta! Friends and family enjoyed a dessert buffet as well where the Oreo Balls were the first to go, second being Kelsey's Cupcakes! The high school sweethearts played the "shoe game" and opened up a multitude of presents.
