I love it when my couples agree to go along with my somewhat crazy ideas. Elizabeth and Garrett got married in Covington and had their reception at the ever so awesome St. Tammany Art Association! It is SUCH a cool space! This was taken a couple windows down from the reception in front of a hardware store Yay for Sparklers!

I love the Windsor Court in New Orleans. They have awesome food and the rooms are a really beautiful for getting ready photographs Megan and Philip got married at St. Mary’s Assumption Church and had their reception at the Windsor Court. Megan is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met, always completely enthusiastic (like me!!). I always loved reading her emails Anyway, here are some of my favourite film photos. All of the square ones were shot on my medium format Hasselbad… gotta love the grainy/contrasty black and white film
