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!!

2021, a Year with ALP

After the truly life changing year the was 2020, we knew that this year was going to be incredibly special as the world finally opened back up for big weddings and celebrations of all kinds. Our 2021 couples filled our cups to the brim with the must stunning days that we’ll cherish for seasons to come.

If going back to a full wedding season wasn’t exciting enough for us, we were also beyond lucky to travel to so many gorgeous new locations this year. From the vast wine country of Austin to the dreamy mountains of Taos to the ever mystic Ghost Ranch to all the new little spaces in Santa Fe, our scenery was far from the ordinary. On top of this, so many of our couples were finally able to celebrate with all of their friends and family, an experience that we will never take for granted ever again.

Cheers to all the new adventures with the best couples in the most stellar of places, we can’t wait for all that 2022 is sure to bring our way.

Wedding Inspo - a Quiet New Orleans Elopement

Even though its been a few months since we were down in New Orleans for the dreamiest week, we’re still reveling in all the unbelievable beauty. Truth be told, we will never ever be over the energy and incredible spirit of The Big Easy.

On the most serene November day we journeyed over to Race and Religious, a stunningly historic venue in the heart of New Orlean’s beautiful Garden District and let’s just say it was a day out of our dreams. From the divine wedding gown by Barbara Kavchok to the the moodiest bouquet by Violetta’s to the most beautiful lovers around, the Nola day has us longing for more.

We’re truly enamored with everything and anything New Orleans and are manifesting our next big adventure to this mystic Southern destination. Long live Nola and all of its beauty and vibrancy!!
