A New Orleans Love Story: Jai & RJ’s Unforgettable Wedding Celebration

Wedding

29 Jun

When Jai and RJ decided to tie the knot in their hometown of New Orleans, they knew they wanted a celebration that would capture the city’s legendary spirit. What they created was nothing short of magical—a wedding that melted hearts and had us dancing all night long.

Standing Room Only for the Saints

The venue was wall-to-wall PACKED. The overwhelming turnout was a testament to Jai and RJ’s impact on their community—people showed up in a big way to show their support.

From “I Do” to “Let’s Dance”

After sealing their vows with a kiss, the newlyweds kicked off their married life with another round of shots, and the energy never came down from there. Their first dance to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “Part II (On the Run)” was both intimate and powerful, setting the stage for a night of non-stop celebration.

A True New Orleans Send-Off

In perfect New Orleans fashion, the couple closed out their celebration with a second line band, bringing their wedding full circle with the traditions that make their city so special. It was the ideal ending to a day that perfectly captured both their love story and their Louisiana roots.

I did a little something different this holiday se I did a little something different this holiday season…

100% of the proceeds from my mini sessions went to the @jackandjill_foundation  who’s mission is to address systemic barriers affecting underserved children and families by investing in programs and services that build strong foundations for long-term success.

Thank you to everyone who participated!  Not only did you get some adorable family photos, you helped a great cause at the same time! 

Happy holidays!
This engagement session is a full circle moment fo This engagement session is a full circle moment for me.  When Melanie and I first met, she was just a toddler and over the years, it's been a pleasure to watch her grow into the beautiful young woman she is today. 

She carries her parents' kind and selfless nature in everything she does. It's a beautiful reminder that our greatest blessings often come from the people who shape us, and the privilege of witnessing someone's journey from childhood to this moment—standing beside the love of their life—is a gift I'll never take for granted.

Melanie, watching you step into this next chapter fills my heart.

Mela kept a little secret… In preparation for her Mela kept a little secret…

In preparation for her engagement shoot, she secretly had her mother wedding gown shipped all the way from Mexico - a dress that hadn’t been worn in 20 years.

The perfect tribute to family, love, and new beginnings.
Nola, so nice to finally meet you! Nola, so nice to finally meet you!
