Wedding Inspo - Fall Weddings

As the temperatures begin to drop and the world around us turns to soft shades of orange, we know that fall wedding season is just around the corner. Besides being the busiest time of the year for us, autumn holds so much promise and beauty for our team as we journey out to capture all of the nuptials taking place amid the gently changing season.

From the moody and romantic fêtes to the more subtle and easy-spirited days, weddings in the fall always bring something extra special to the mix. Whether its florals in all hues of yellow and brown or the mystical light of an autumn sunset at the end of a stunning wedding day, weddings at this time of year always bring us full circle in a perfect mix of nostalgia and inspiration.

We’re so thrilled for all of the love stories to be captured at this incredibly special time, we know that we’re going to lean into this fall in the best way possible.

Even though this incredible New Orleans day was only a few months ago, we still feel completely transported to another time period surrounded by some of the most quintessential Nola details. We’re forever imagining our next getaway to The Big Easy and with just one glance at this shoot, its not hard to see why we’re so obsessed with this magically iconic city.

This gorgeous, show-stopping day was created by none other than design queen, Traveling Weddings with Taylor, who brought together that modern elegance we know and adore with some truly otherworldly details. From that UNREAL bridal gown by Barbara Kovchok to the incredibly talented Kinfolk Brass Band to the sheer brilliance of the historic Seraphim House right off of The French Quarter, this Nola day has us daydreaming time and time again.

Wedding Inspo - a Gorgeous New Orleans Wedding at Race and Religious

The past few seasons we’ve been lucky enough to travel to some pretty stunning locations, but in late 2021 we got to go to a city that might just take the cake, New Orleans. We traveled down south for a couple of the dreamiest days we’ve ever witnessed and dang are we smitten with it all.

The Big Easy is legendary for its history, its beauty, and (of course) its parties. We spent a day at the iconic Garden District venue, Race and Religious, with some of the most divine people and details. The unreal Clem and Jamie graced the front of our cameras and never have we ever had so much fun with such hotties. We loved capturing these two grooving in the second line parade, sneaking away to the all little romantic corners, and taking a literal plunge into the pool at the end of the day.

Amid all of this excitement, there were also so many gorgeous little details sprinkled into this vision of a day. The lush, ethereal florals by Violetta’s, angelic bridal gown by Gossamer, and dainty headpiece by The Lucky Sixpence were truly only the beginning of this Nola fairytale.

We’ll forever be head-over-heels for this stunning November day, here’s the manifesting even more incredible New Orleans weddings in the years to come!!

Wedding Inspo - Winter Weddings + Elopements

The temperature might be getting more and more chilly, but we know that winter weddings and elopements always bring the heat. Even though we don’t capture a ton of cold weather celebrations, the ones that we get to be a part of are so incredibly divine.

Winter nuptials are not only insanely beautiful, they’re also deeply serene. From the cozy, romantic little moments to the way this time of year just ushers in those quiet, intimate gatherings, weddings in the coldest part of the year are beyond enchanting.

Keeping our fingers crossed for even more of these magical days in the future, we’re forever in love with celebrations of love in the middle of winter.

Michael + Anna, a Moody Winter Elopement at The Seraphim House New Orleans

This November would took a quick trip down south to New Orleans for a few days of absolute HEAVEN. We were treated to the most divine winter styled elopement at The Seraphim House and dang was it everything we could’ve wish for and more.

On this insanely pretty day in The Big Easy, we were treated to a true feast for the eyes at the beautiful, historic Seraphim House. This tiny gem of a venue was first built in the 1860’s and after being restored from 2012 to 2015, Seraphim House is now more stunning than ever. For this incredible day, our sweet friend Taylor of Traveling Weddings with Taylor put together a styled elopement beyond our wildest dreams. Stunning bride Anna wore the most gorgeous Rita Vinieris gown while her groom Michael complemented her angelic look perfectly with a red, velvet tux from Don Morphy. For the the most divine florals, Louisiana florist Violetta’s created not only the perfect moody bouquet, but also a beyond epic indoor floral arch. To top it off, Papier Handmade came through with a romantic hand-lettering adorned invitation suite.

This dreamy afternoon in Nola sparked our imaginations for all the moody, fairytale inspired nuptials. We’re here for all those stunning fantasy celebrations!!!
