Paul + Natalie in NOLA! I’ve been photographing weddings for almost 14 years and somehow this was my first wedding in New Orleans. What a blast with such a fun crew of people, including some old friends of mine from high school who I had not seen since 2004!

A blurb on the day, in Paul’s words: “Prior to 2020, it would be atypical to be engaged for 30 months, but ‘typical’ does not describe these times, nor does it describe us. We waited a long time to have our day, and it was unapologetically ‘Natalie & Paul’. From the first look to the last dance we had the time of our lives, and we will remember it each moment we look into each other’s eyes and say ‘I love you’.”

A batch of favorites from a double-exposed black & white roll (tri-x 400) on the Nikon One Touch. These are some of my favorites ever!

“The only word to describe everything was perfect. No better feeling than being supported by people you love most. The ceremony could not have been more charming, the reception more entertaining, and my wife more lovely. I’m certainly the luckiest man.” – Ethan

“Brent and I’s love story began in a place where thousands of stories live – the library. We met during finals week at The University of Oklahoma, where we both returned to the same ‘secret’ spot of the library for a week straight. After a week of exchanging glances, we eventually worked up the nerve to speak to each other. We both knew from the start that we had found something special in each other.

After 5 years together, ‘library boy’ and I were married on October 23, 2021. We wanted our wedding to be an intimate, intentional, and fun day with our loved ones. The day was pure magic. From being married under the star-painted ceiling at All Saints Church to the cozy reception at The Manor House, to the rainbow that appeared after the storm during cocktail hour…we couldn’t stop smiling all day.

We are incredibly thankful for the amazing vendors who helped us pull this day off, and feel so grateful to be surrounded by such loving and supportive friends and family.”

Adam and Alli, as sweet as it gets.

“When planning our day, we knew we wanted an intimate, joyful, FUN day that didn’t lose sight of the reason for the celebrations — becoming Mr. and Mrs. Albright before God with our closest loved ones. We had just that, and it was more special than we ever could have dreamed. We were married by our pastor in the beautiful wedding chapel at our church, South Main Baptist Church, and then celebrated on the top floor of one of our favorite restaurants, B&B Butchers. It was the very best day of our lives!”

Private last dances seem to be becoming more popular, and I love them.
