A couple of months ago my favorite youth pastor’s wife of all times contacted Heather and I about shooting a wedding for a couple in their church. Of course we couldn’t turn Ms. Shontel down so we worked through emails for a while getting everything set up.
Fast forward a few weeks and Heather and I headed down to Des Allemands to meet Patrick and Kim for their engagement session! And boy are we glad we did! We had an amazing time with the two of them! They are so much fun and you can just tell that they are so much so much in love!
Heather and I have never had the opportunity to do a shoot in New Orleans. Top that off with an amazing couple and an absolute fabulous shoot!

New Orleans + Amazing Couple = Extremely Hard Time Choosing Only a Few For Blog.

So….sit back and enjoy because this is going to be a long post!

We started out in an open area by their church with some beautiful lighting and beautiful trees:

I love this tree! This tree is very unique and is such a good representation of unity! If you look at the picture carefully you will notice that it is actually two different trees that have grown together and now rooted together. It symbolizes the joining of Patrick and Kim becoming one!

Anybody that shows up in LSU gear for their shoot is number one in our book:

There is a story behind this picture although I want go in to it! It has something to do with Heather’s directions or lack there of! HAHA!

Next we headed to walk around New Orleans for some beautiful architecture and more great light:

It would be wrong to visit New Orleans and not get beignets so we headed over to Cafe du Monde for some great food and faboulous pictures:

I think that this next one from Cafe du Monde is my favorite from my day. I just love the lighting!

And I love this next one too. After promising that the last picture was the last picture, I turned around and decided that I just wanted one more. (I think I said just one more picture at least 5 times before we finally wrapped up the shoot.)

Patrick and Kim, You are both so amazing and so much fun! We had a great time with the two of you! We can’t wait till your wedding and catch up with you two again. You two are wonderful people! You made our shoot rock!
