Lauren and Jared’s wedding can be explained with these words … elegant, sophisticated, relaxed, fun, gorgeous, rocking. From start to finish that explains it.
Lauren and Jared both started their wedding day by getting dressed at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter. Lauren surrounded by her bridesmaids and friends and Jared was surrounded by his groomsmen and friends as they both prepared for their big day … and their first look
Yep … love those words “first look”. I can say that Lauren was so sweet and just giddy while getting dressed. The best part of my “job” (I giggle every time I call it a “job”) is that I never feel like a “vendor” on a wedding day – I always feel part of the family and welcomed with open arms. I don’t want to be a stranger on your wedding day and my clients are awesome for that. They become friends and I am there for their moments shared.
Lauren and Jared had an amazing first look on the balcony of the hotel overlooking the French Quarter streets. I mean amazing by wow they have a connection and I thought she was going to run to him. The moment they connected it was powerful. Powerful I say. The first black and white image below is just breathtaking – can you feel the sexiness of that moment?? Brides, take note – see your man before the ceremony and give him TIME to love on your sexy self!!! Moments … between the two of you and no one else around.
After doing some fun group shots around the French Quarter it was time to for the ketubah signing and the bedekken ceremony. I love being a part of so many different religious customs at weddings! None of them are better than the other – it’s the way you respect it and cherish it. From the signing and the bedekken, it was time for the Jewish wedding ceremony under the huppah. Wow their huppah was gorgeous. Let me say it again … gorgeous Candles hanging above their head, adorned by purple flowers and custom made by Urban Earth. It had a romantic feel to it. And it also helped by the looks Lauren and Jared were giving each other during the ceremony. That pure excitement and love for marrying their love under this beautiful huppah. Okay, I could go on and on but will stop.
It’s party time! Mazel Tov! They treated their guests to a night to remember. A second line parade through the streets of the French Quarter, amazing food by Latrobe’s on Royal AND the best band in the city … Groovy 7. They danced the night away and the dance floor stayed packed and rocking. Groovy 7 definitely always delivers the best music for the best time. I think everyone enjoyed every second of the night to celebrate their love and their marriage. Their wedding was a destination wedding in New Orleans, so to see the love and support from friends and family who came long distances to share this night with them was just pure awesome.
And a major shout out to Aimee with Plan B Productions – her team and crew had every detail handled and flawlessly scheduled. Plan B what a great job! I know you worked with the families for a long time to perfect their day.
Lauren and Jared, congratulations! It was wonderful to be a part of the family and share those moments on your wedding day. mq
