Meg and Derek....St. Francisville Wedding

Who loves a wedding in St. Francisville!?

What a magically beautiful place. Meg’s family generations back are from St. Francisville and these two had their wedding at a location we’ve never photographed before which is always super fun to discover new beautiful churches in lovely Louisiana.

This may be my favorite tented reception at a family home I’ve ever attended. Every detail had been thought through, the weather was amazing, the band was a hoot, and be sure to scroll to see the getaway car!!

Congratulations Meg and Derek! We are so excited for y’all.

Josh & Anna...St. Francisville Wedding

Josh and Anna were married in downtown St. Francisville at Park Memorial Park.

The rain threatened to visit us throughout their entire wedding day but you would think neither of them knew anything ahead except getting to see each other. Josh and Anna's wedding was so very them...laid back and full of peace and joy. This is always refreshing to see.

And it just so happened to pour as soon as they drove away at the end of the night. Perfect timing.

Congratulations you two. So thankful to have been a part of this. I'm praying for many years of that joy and peace to come.

Travis & Jaimee...French Quarter New Orleans Wedding

There are only a handful of people in my life who I can say have been with me through awkward junior high phase, birthdays, mission trips, Vegas, English class, 2nd soprano section,  student counsel elections, youth camps, graduations, leaving home, college rivalries, heartbreaks, adjustments to new cities, confusion at life's disappointments, dreams of doing what we love, and the challenges to trust God on this pilgrimage. Jaimee and I talked about this day when we were 12 years old and now I was able to be a part of it in a way I couldn't have seen coming back then...by doing what I love.  I had the honor of photographing Jaimee's wedding day in New Orleans. She and Travis had a really intimate service with family surrounding them. What a memorable day it was.

The other day I told Jaimee about how much I enjoyed meeting Travis and loved seeing how God so specifically suited the two of them. I'm so excited to see how God uses their marriage and life together.

Love you friends and praying for a lifetime of joy and peace for you two!

Taylor & Andrea..New Orleans City Park Wedding

I've seen weddings where family members, bridal party members, and even guests arrange some sort of surprise for the bride and groom and it's exciting to shoot. I think this may have been the first time I saw a bride and groom surprise their entire wedding party, families, and guest list during their wedding reception...how did they do it?

with a Drum Line!!!

It only makes sense for Taylor and Andrea who love to have a great time, were giddy about celebrating their marriage from the first day I met them, and who wanted to show in more ways than one how thankful they are for the folks that have been a part of their relationship for more than 10 years!

Congratulations Taylor and Andrea:)

Lee + Jennifer's St. Francisville Wedding

In every wedding, something stands out.

Sometimes it's the dress, the cake, the attention to detail or even the 2 yr. old flower that doesn't quite make it all the way down the aisle.

At Jennifer and Lee's wedding I couldn't help but feel and notice that what stood out the most was the pure joy on both sides of the aisle from those that love these two.

The connection between Jennifer and her sisters, the deep love that Lee has for all the guys he asked to be a part of it, the flowers given by Jennifer's friend, and the details that the community of these two brought together are just a few of the things that I couldn't help but sense throughout the day.

Isn't that how it should be?

Jennifer and Lee, you guys have been such an encouragement to me in the months that I've known you. You are a joy to be around. May God bless your marriage as you serve those around you together.

Mrs. Jennifer Pate Hardee...St. Francisville, Louisiana Bridals... Afton Villa Gardens

Mrs. Jennifer Pate Hardee was married last weekend to Lee Hardee at  Afton Villa Gardens in St. Francisville.

It was an amazing wedding day that I can't wait to share.

But one of my favorite aspects of photographing wedding details is getting together weeks before the wedding day and doing bridal photos.

I think I love these not only for the tradition behind it but also because it's unique to southern style weddings.

I've heard folks saying bridals are becoming a thing of the past. I hope not. This tradition sets the stage for brides on their wedding day. It makes them more comfortable in front of the camera and helps the girls know how to prepare all details for their hair and dress. It provides sweet memories with the bride's mom, sisters, maid of honor, or even bridesmaids. And beyond that...it provides time, lighting, and a relaxed atmosphere to get photos like these of Jennifer in the location of her wedding just a few weeks before she was married there.

The Beauregard-Keyes House...A Stunning New Orleans Wedding Venue

People often ask me what are my favorite venues to shoot weddings or which are my favorite vendors. This is usually a pretty difficult question as I do feel that Baton Rouge and New Orleans and really most of South Louisiana have countless incredibly beautiful areas, houses, venues, and downtown locations that make for incredible wedding venues..and then you throw in those who are awesome to work with and it ends up being a pretty difficult task!

I know many couples will be planning a lot this summer so I thought I'd send my two cents about vendors and venues that we have really thoroughly enjoyed working alongside in the last few years.

ClaireElysePhotography_BeauregardKeyesHouse_NewOrleansWedding-1247

Beauregard-Keyes House_WeddingVenue_NewOrleans

One of our favorites is the Beauregard-Keyes House in the French Quarter. I really can't believe that I spent three years in this business not even knowing this place existed. Part of the appeal of this place is just that...it's a new old and beautiful option for an authentic New Orleans wedding that provides opportunity to have a unique day but with the traditional aspects of New Orleans most brides really want. I first discovered this place when a lovely bride of mine decided she wanted to do her bridals here earlier this year. As a photographer..this house with its gardens is a dream setting.

NewOrleansWeddingPhotographerBeauregard-Keyes_Weddings_ClaireElysePhotography-8859

Beauregard-KeyesHouse_ClaireElysePhotography_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1361I find what is equally important with any venue is the staff and those you'll work with. Ella at Beauregard-Keyes instantly added to the appeal of the house when I met her. She truly cares about the house and its history and equally cares about providing excellent service to brides on their wedding day. When I asked her what is most important to her and the team at Beauregard-Keyes this is what she had to say:

Ella_NewOrleansWeddings_ClaireElysePhotography_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1604

"This house was designed as a space to entertain so it is always exciting to see the House being used to it's full potential, full of people celebrating life. I also love knowing that new memories are being added to the story of the House and that the people that get married here will always have a connection to this place."

ClaireElysePhotography_HistoricHome_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1452 HistoricHome_Weddings_ClaireElysePhotography_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1469 HistoricNewOrleansHome_ClaireElysePhotography_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1487

The House was built in 1826 by Joseph Le Carpentier, a well-to-do auctioneer. Seven years later it came into the possession of John A. Merle, the consul of Switzerland. Old plans show that a formal garden was constructed about that same time. Through the years of its checkered history, the house had many owners and in 1865 when General Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard, noted Confederate leader who hailed from Louisiana, returned to New Orleans he lodged there for eighteen months.

ClaireElysePhotography_NewOrleansWeddings_BeauregardKeyesHouse-1529B-KeyesHouse_NewOrleansWeddingPhotographer_ClaireElysePhotography-9257

In 1944, Frances Parkinson Keyes, a well known novelist, came to Louisiana, rented the house and eventually took it over. Mrs. Keyes made the cottage her winter residence for a quarter of a century and wrote several of her books here, among them Dinner At Antoine’s, The Chess Player (Paul Morphy), and Blue Camellia.

NewOrleansWeddingPhotographer_B-KeyesHouse_ClaireElysePhotography-9221

Rich New Orleans history, great service from those who not only care about the rich history but those who get to enjoy it, and a simply stunningly beautiful place are all reasons we think this venue should be considered when planning your wedding. You can read more about the Beauregard-Keyes House online at their website below. Give Ella a call. You won't regret it:).

Jeff + Margaret...Audubon Zoo, New Orleans Wedding

I have shot in and around Audubon Park and Zoo before and everyone knows it's a classic New Orleans favorite.

I had never shot a wedding at the Sea Lion exhibit at Audubon before though.

Let me tell you...this spot shot straight to the top of my list. I was stunned at how beautiful it was.

This was partly also due to the fact that the day of Jeff and Margaret's wedding, the weather was incredible!!!

The weather could not have been more perfect...seriously.

And I honestly have to give credit where credit is due. Jeff & Margaret are a stunningly beautiful couple. In every way. These two live in New York but knew that New Orleans would be a perfect fit for a stunning wedding and they were of course quite correct.

What was my favorite thing about this wedding you ask? Well, besides how unbelievably gorgeous the entire day was...these two and pretty much most of their guests can really...truly...dance!!!!!

In fact...I believe the groom's dancing skills are one of many reasons these two ended up together!

This was definitely one for the books.

Jeff and Margaret, you two are stunning and it was a joy to spend such a beautiful day with you guys. I hope these photos will always serve as sweet reminders of an unforgettable day!

Andrew + Beth.. Bush, Louisiana Wedding Photography

Andrew and Beth were married at a wonderfully quaint church outside of Covington, Louisiana. Every single detail you see at this reception was thought of and created by Beth herself or a family member. Even down to the amazing chandeliers in the barn…her three brothers made these for the wedding! Amazing skills if you ask me.

Beth has dreamed of a barn wedding and looked far and wide for one. It was a beautifully done DIY wedding and from the barbecue to the bridals with a horse…this wedding fit these two like a glove!

Congratulations Andrew and Beth! I wish you two abundant joy in your marriage

Spencer + Rachel...My brother & his Baton Rouge Engagements.

I’ve known Spencer since the day I was brought to the hospital after he was born on May 21, 1992. I can’t tell you what my first impression of my little brother was at 4 years old….but I can try…

with words that will inevitably fail to do it justice…

to express my impressions of him almost 22 years later.

Spencer was a blonde-haired blue-eyed boy my Mom had always wanted. She literally had dreams of having a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes and I think she probably would have kept trying until God granted her wish. Well he did for the third one.… and Spencer became the baby of the family. With two strong-willed older sisters, Spencer rarely got a word in at the dinner table growing up…but when he did we all knew it would be good. With a rich sense of humor, strong convictions ingrained in the very heart of who he is, and the passion, sensitivity, and wit he got straight from our Father, Spencer captivates his audience when he speaks. He is strong. but he will be moved to heartache when confronted with the injustice of others. Spencer has the sensitivity, passion, drive, and steadiness of both our parents combined. I think I didn’t really realize most of my childhood that Spencer wasn’t really my age. He was my closest companion especially in summers when all there was to do was build another fort, ride our bikes around the cul-de-sac, and wrestle to the point of scaring my mom convinced we would break something or each other in the process. I can’t think of anything Spencer hasn’t been able to do when he sets out to do it. From the time he first learned to throw a baseball to deciding to be the sports editor at the Reveille, LSU’s student newspaper, Spencer decides he wants to do something, he commits, and he sticks with it.

This steady loyalty has played out the most in two areas of his life so far…sports…and the woman he loves. Spencer and Rachel have been together for over 7 years. They are highschool sweethearts, but first met as children in church together. On May 31st this year…almost exactly 22 years after the day I met him, Spencer and Rachel will get married in Baton Rouge where they’ve spent the last 4 years attending LSU together. After that they will move to Dallas to no doubt accomplish much more than they already have..together. Spencer and Rachel’s relationship, from an older sister’s point of view, fits exactly who Spencer is. He is committed to the people and the things he loves..for life. He will fight for those he loves and he’s done that for Rachel and I know he will continue to.

Spencer, you make me proud, bud. Always have…always will. I love you

Jordan & Casey.. New Orleans Wedding Photographer

Jordan and Casey’s wedding was at the incredible Terrell House. I can’t get enough of this place! They are absolutely one of my favorites in New Orleans!

Jordan and Casey had a beautiful wedding celebration complete with awesome gifts for one another (socks for cold feet!! ), tambourines for dancing at the reception (something the bride is known for), and even an accidental almost premature kiss by the groom who just couldn’t contain his joy at seeing his beautiful bride walking down that aisle!

Jordan and Casey, I wish you guys a lifetime of joy in marriage and growth together. I pray you rest in a love and joy greater than yourselves that will allow you to love one another fully.
