Virginia & Bret - June 7th 2008




Virginia and Bret had their ceremony and reception at The Balcony in Metairie. Virginia got ready at a nearby hotel and we photographed some bridal images at Lafreniere Park before heading over to the wedding. 

Overcast skies gave off beautiful lighting for Virginia's bridal portraits. Credit to her mom for thinking the tree looked like a great area. The area reminded me of what the early 1920's color postcards resembled so I attempted to recreate that look on a few portraits. 

Ceremony and reception went great! With the indoor lighting I was able to capture allot of available light images which I'm trying to do more and more now. 

Virginia is from Bulgaria so they had a breaking bread tradition during the reception. Whoever pulls the biggest piece is in charge, of course Virginia won out on that contest!
