Not only did the guests wear wigs, but the dos were updated throughout the weekend, making the event a never
ending swirl of changing colorful characters. I have photographed weddings in the south, and a costumed wedding
here and there, but never both at the same time. New Orleans was a perfect setting for this, matching the
attendee’s sauciness with the city’s inherent love of individuality. The wedding extended over a few festive days,
and friends and family alike had smiles from ear to ear, day after day. As a side note, the grooms uncle made
the best meal I have ever had the honor to savor in my 18 years of photographing weddings. It was that good.
Another “best of all time” award goes to the bride for pulling off the most fantastic prank on the groom. To provide
a bit of background for the prank, the groom is a professional actor specializing in physical humor. Read “clown”.
Everything was normal before he kissed the bride, but when he began to look around after the kiss….
There were numerous evenings where the friends would saunter out into the night, hitting different
establishments. One particular stop had a lounge singer and the group gathered around the piano man
as the groom sang a lyric altered Julio Iglesias tune.
