Caroline and Mitch packed up and moved from Houston to New Orleans after they hired me to shoot their wedding, and every photo shared on Caroline’s Instagram made me want to stroll down the streets of the Big Easy sipping drinks and soaking up the sun. We met for the first time on their wedding day at the amazing and modern 5226 Elm in Houston, but it was like we were friends already. The two invited so many of their friends and family that the venue was packed with well-wishers, along with the delicious smell of Tex-Mex, and the sounds of their live band.
I can’t get over the beautiful small touches — Caroline chose her turquoise earrings from a shop on Portabello Road in London specifically for her wedding, for example — that made this wedding so special. And who could forget the funfetti cake!!!, Caroline and Mitch’s dog “hosting” cocktail hour, and the Shinyribs rocking out the reception?

So many colors! I love the frame following the ceremony where they’re embracing and her veil is blowing in the wind, you can see how happy they are, like “we did it!.” but in a peaceful way. :) <3
