New Orleans Wedding at Pat O’s on the River ~ Libby & Mark

Bride and groom in french quarter during first look on wedding day

Libby and Mark’s wedding in New Orleans was just perfect and fun. What a sweet couple to know and be a part of their wedding. To be welcomed into a couple’s private moments on a memorable day is just the best feeling. I get to see intimate, personal moments with pure emotion.Libby and her girls started their day getting ready in the Hotel Monteleone, with Mark and his guys in the Bienville House down the street in the French Quarter. The weather was a little windy, and the French Quarter had a parade going on, but wedding mode was in full swing. Libby was surrounded by her best friends and family as she prepared to marry the love of her life. She was a little anxious and excited to see Mark for their first look in Exchange Alley. Mark and his guys were just hanging out and getting ready. Guys get ready and then chill on wedding days – they have it a little easier in the getting ready department! They had a loving private moment to share on their wedding day – time to see your future wife and husband and cherish those few minutes alone on their wedding. A wedding day you are never alone – this is your chance to have those moments and share your feelings and emotions on marrying your best friend. Libby’s smile smiled brighter as she was near Mark and her expression was pure joy.

Their ceremony was held at St. Agnes Church and once the vows and rings were exchanged, it was time to celebrate! Their reception was held at Pat O’s on the River, which is always a great place for a wedding reception. The started the party off right with the first dance being to the Wobble with the entire wedding party, and Mardi Gras masks. Way to go Libby and Mark for doing it your way and having fun with it. They had Band Camp as their band, who plays all kinds of genres of music to keep the party going. Their guests were having a good time as they celebrated with Libby and Mark and their families. Both sides of the family could not be any sweeter. I love being so welcomed into the families at each wedding. I love the connections I feel with them and watch them experience so much emotion at so many times during the wedding day. And I love the families coming together and enjoying themselves – what a great thing to experience each weekend.

Libby and Mark, thank you for welcoming me into your wedding day and your private moments. What an honor it has been. Congratulations and I know you truly enjoyed your wedding. The expressions say it all in the photos!
