What an awesome wedding with Caroline and Sabri. I had such a good time with them and enjoyed their wedding day. They were so full of life, happy, energetic and easy going. That makes me happy
They had a fun, spirited, good time wedding in New Orleans and they enjoyed every minute of it.
Caroline and Sabri started their day getting dressed at the Omni Hotel in the French Quarter on Royal. I got the chance to hang out with Caroline, her sister and her parents as she was getting ready. The mood was happy but calm. Her dress …. wow. Her dress was unique and stunning. Unique is always good!! When it was time, Caroline and Sabri had their first meeting. I truly love love love when my couples see each other before the ceremony. You just don’t realize how much more you get out of these meetings instead of limiting your time for photography. They had a sweet, cute, funny and silly first meeting. We let the rain pass and then decided to go to Royal Street for some more pics. Yes, it was still drizzling, but it did not phase Caroline or Sabri at all. We were running, jumping, laughing, smiling and having a good time – rain or not. Once we had a little fun, we then did all of their family group shots. Done, out of the way so they can go straight to enjoying their reception after the ceremony.
The ceremony and reception was held at my all time favorite place – Latrobe’s on Royal. The atmosphere, the food, the service, the attention to detail is always phenomenal. Out of town guests are always amazed at the beautiful architecture and history in Latrobe’s and it makes for a great wedding location. Caroline and Sabri had the privilege to work with Michelle and Brittani of Unique Weddings in New Orleans. Michelle and Brittani make sure every detail is taken care of for their couples and families so that they can just enjoy every moment of their wedding day. Unique Weddings did a fabulous job for Caroline and Sabri and everything went perfectly. The ceremony was set up with everyone circling Sabri and Caroline and they said their vows with guests and family from all over the country and a few that came from out of the country. They were surrounded by love in their circle.
Once the vows were said and the rings were exchanged, it was out the door to enjoy a traditional New Orleans second line throughout the streets of the French Quarter with a brass band in front. I have seen my couples really enjoy the second line, but Caroline and Sabri rocked it the whole time. Again, so full of energy and happiness and it showed every second of their wedding day. After the second line, it was time to return to Latrobe’s for the reception, good music and good food. The guests were treated to Groovy 7 – a band that I love. Groovy 7 has so much talent in their band and it shows. They are really awesome and keep the party rocking all night. I actually think Caroline stayed on the dance floor the entire time and just didn’t stop. I heard so many compliments from guests on every vendor they chose for their wedding day and saw so many guests dancing and enjoying every second of the night. It was an awesome wedding and full of energy the entire time. Makes my job so easy when the energy is on such an incredible level.
Caroline and Sabri your wedding was amazing and I truly had a great time with you both. Your families were amazing and I can see you are surrounded by great family and friends for your journey in your life. Congratulations and hope to see you again!
