Rebecca and Stef’s New Orleans Spring Wedding

May 26

Conrad and I have a soft spot in our hearts for New Orleans. We went there with my husband Peter and his girlfriend Ami for a long weekend just before Covid shut the world down, it was SO much fun to explore together and indulge there! So we were thrilled when my fun-loving cousin Stef and his beautiful wife Rebecca asked us to photograph their wedding in New Orleans this Spring!

We made it a long weekend with my whole family, Conrad and Christy and arrived in New Orleans on Wednesday night. We spent Thursday exploring the French Quarter and met Stef for a delicious brunch at The Court of Two Sisters. We ate a thousand beignets and drank hurricanes on the street and did touristy things and just had the absolute best time.

When Saturday arrived the weather was absolutely PERFECT for Rebecca and Stef’s wedding at the Ormond Manor. We unloaded our rental car and met Rebecca and her beautiful bridesmaids upstairs at Ormond Manor to start the celebration. Getting ready photos with these girls was SO much fun!! But the mood on the other side of the house was even more celebratory where Stef was getting ready with his groomsmen.

After Rebecca slipped into her gorgeous fitted wedding dress she walked downstairs for an emotional “first look parade.” First she saw her bride-squad at the bottom of the stairs, her bridesmaids were all SO sweetly supportive and excited to see Rebecca as a bride! Then she went out front to see her Dad, a man who typically does not show much emotion but couldn’t hold it back when he saw his baby girl on her wedding day. Rebecca ended up out back where she gave Stef a playful little butt-squeeze for their first look, once they were together they didn’t leave each other’s side for the rest of the day.

The thing is, Rebecca and Stef are perfect for each other. They complement each other in every way, and love one another deeply. What a joy it is when we get to be a part of that kind of love story, whether it’s at home or on vacation!! We had the most amazing time celebrating Rebecca and Stef, hopefully the pictures speak for themselves, this really was the perfect day!
