I'm finally done with April WEDDINGS (not edits, hold onto your horses...... *sigh*)
Jennifer and I had known each other previously from the old days when both of our fathers worked together at Texaco/Star Enterprise. I had not seen her for years until she contacted me to get my info for engagement/wedding stuff - and I'm so glad she did! I love her & Stephen's taste!
We had a ball doing their engagement session last fall - so when it was their actual wedding day - I just knew they'd be a bundle of creative fun.
Another cool personal tidbit was they got married at the Houmas House - one of my childhood grounds. I grew up going there (one of my best friends, Lilli Black lived on the grounds because her father works there) and they are some of my best memories. Lilli always got me, and to this day remains one of my most favorite people.
The Houmas House grounds have changed drastically over the years and yet remains one of the most gorgeous plantation homes in the state of Louisiana in my opinion. I may be biased but really! They have added so much to what they can offer for a visitor! (If this sounds familiar - it's because we did my birthday lunch their in Jan of '09!).
Anyway - let me get back to the point of this blog - Jennifer and Stephen are obviously two really sweet people, and you can tell they're just best friends - and I always say, your best friend is who you should marry if you even bother with it!
Here are some of my absolute favorites from their day - in the album, there are so many more... but these stand out to me for different reasons. and YES, I was obsessed with Jennifer's tattoos. I mean, come on! They're gorgeous!!!!!!!
Thank you J & S - for choosing me to do such a special moment in your lives. I am forever grateful for those who entrust me with that responsibility!
Above is one of the best makeup artists I've seen in my entire career of photography (I make it sound like I'm so old, don't I?) - a surefire recommendation from TTP! Her name is Lauren Kattan of LKMAKEUPYOURMIND.
Peekaboo ;-)
