I've been trying to get this wedding posted for the past couple of days but it's been pretty crazy around here with weddings and other photography work. So FINALLY.......
Jonathan and Princess's wedding was just an awesome,non-stop party, with an extremely emotional ceremony in-between. Now I can see why they decided not to have the wedding portraits together before hand!
Both bride and groom were getting ready at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the French Quarter. One of the top 3 hotels IMHO anyway. More than enough areas for photographs, and the daytime wedding allowed for great light through the hotel windows. Carlos Pasos photographed the guys while I stayed with Princess and her bridemaids. Princess went over and left a gift for Jonathan at his hotel door. Funny shirt there Jonathan! Check out the guys socks as well. I had hoped for some more time with Princess' bridal photos but this is a wedding and time can be short, and try getting a dozen guys to leave a bar so the bride's not seen takes some time.
The ceremony was held at St Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square. Princess got a photo shoot with a street performer on the walk to the Cathedral, he's probably still looking for that tip!
I've been told already be a few who have seen the slideshow that a few ceremony images bring tears so I'll warn you ahead of time. :)
After the ceremony and some quick wedding party/family photos it was time for the 2nd Line Parade (just type it in on YouTube if you've never seen one before). This one was for sure in the top 5 of 2nd line wedding parades I've photographed! Lots of fun!
Back to the Omni Royal for the reception which felt like it went by in a flash. Plenty of non-stop dancing from everyone. We finished the night with some shots of Jonathan and Princess on the Omni rooftop which offers a panoramic view of New Orleans. You can just make out the St Louis Cathedral behind them in the last photo.
Big thanks to Jonathan and Princess, it was allot of fun capturing their wedding and I hope I delivered what they were looking for!
