This was the morning wedding celebration I shot at the beginning of October in the New Orleans Botanical Gardens. It's also where I shot the Clement wedding this past June. I love, love, love shooting around there. It's gorgeous! If you haven't seen it, it's a must see if you're ever in New Orleans (in the City Park).

Bob and Betsy reside in Austin but Betsy's family lives in New Orleans. By a small world, she is friends with a random client I made in Austin (Michele!) through another friend who I went to high school with here in Louisiana. It's just a tiny world sometimes. Anyway, Betsy and I hit it off via emails and they chose me to capture their special day (morning, really! I think it was one of the shortest weddings I've shot and it was so perfect.... I think I'd love to do my renewals like that!).

Check out how gorgeous this place is and with the addition of Betsy and Bob - it's even more beautiful. Thanks guys for having me do such a special moment in your lives.

The Tureaus

11.16.09

I had the honor of photographing the Tureau family at the end of September. Caress is one of my oldest friends I grew up with and it's amazing for me to see her married, and as a mother now! Time just flies way too fast. Since this session - she gave birth to her and Nick's second son, Cruz. Caymen is one proud big brother!

Thanks to y'all for having me do a session!

Gerard & Jody Hitched!!

11.10.09

The Saturday morning after Jason & Natlie's wedding in Baton Rouge, I zoomed off to the New Orleans airport to hop on a flight to Portland, Oregon! Jody Barrong and Gerard Williams were the engaged couple that flew me in to photograph their fantastic wedding day that following Sunday! We had a ball all day just mingling around Edgefield (the location of everything) up to the end of the reception! Thank you guys SO much for having me come out west to photograph your gorgeous day - the photos are evident of how much a ball it was for me to photograph. The black and white wedding dress was just too much fun!

The full album of the day's event is at this link!

Jason & Natalie Hitched!

11.07.09

Mid September, Jason and Natalie got married at the St. Aloysius Church in Baton Rouge. It was a gorgeous time for all of us. Their reception followed by at Boudreaux's off Government. I had never been inside (even though family owns it) so it was great to finally see what it was. What a beautiful place! It all looks "Old Baton Rouge" and I LOVE that. It's like they're becoming part of history. Sarah's cousin, Nikkie, and her husband Ben had their reception there as well so Sarah had told me about it.

Check out their photos. Again, what a gorgeous wedding and I loved shooting their day for them.

Thank you Jason & Natalie! The full album is over at my smugmug site!

Gorgeous!
The church was stunning!
Do you make your couples audition for you Tate, because I swear-I have only seen beautiful people in your pics!?!

(11.07.09)

tate:

Haha - no auditions needed! It's all about making the clients feel their best (or at least I try my best to!) and it shows through the photos!

Corin & Cara

11.04.09

Here's some shots from my session in September with Corin & Cara (Philip and Jacey's kids! They're our neighbors at Maison Looziana). Corin is a bundle of fun to be around with her personality and Cara was born this past summer - it's amazing to see how fast she's grown already!
