Meet Jessica and Lain : September 5, 2009 : Married at Southern Oaks.
They planned a swank late evening wedding with several New Orleans touches like fleur des lis favors and a Gumbo cake.
Their ceremony was dreamy. I loved the dark outdoor setting lit by the glow of the plantation. One of my favorite pictures is when they were exiting going to the horse drawn carriage and when I used the flash it lit up all the dust in the air. It fills my heart with photo love for photos that happen when you don’t mean for it happen that way. A second line led them back to the front of the house…. Imagine getting married and the plantation bursting into confetti and fireworks with jazz music playing around you….
On to the photoroom… Southern Oaks has a room for photography so throughout the night a little bit of photo magic happened in here. I like the range of beauty to insanity.

In the middle of the reception Jessica grabbed the microphone and sang a song to Lain. Everyone gathered in a circle around them to listen and their eyes were just glued on each other. I love the picture of Lain listening to her sing and the smirk on her face. *love*
And this is something I wanted to add on here.. The Bridesmaid Photobooth! Right before the ceremony – we had a brief amount of time in the photo room with just the girls so we did 4 pics each with each bridesmaid. They were funny coming up with 4 quick poses each. I thought these came out great and I edited them into vintage photobooth strips.
