I keep meaning to post this wedding and one special photograph. Here is the story behind it. 

My couple had hired me from a Google search for Annie Leibowitz inspired wedding photographers in New Orleans.

Pretty damn specific huh?!

They flew out to meet me soon after our phone chat. We talked about their ideas and how I would shoot their wedding. We were super excited.

Well as many larger weddings go, plans went awry and it was representing more everyone elses' ideas rather than theirs. Knowing they were doing a less traditional wedding reception that wouldn't require full photographic coverage I grabbed them after the ceremony and suggested we cut an hour off the end and meet up in a couple days to do an Day After Wedding Shoot. Then they could get those images they wanted so much and wouldn't be disappointed with the uncontrollable turn of events. 

Well we had a blast!

At one point she wanted to toss her bouquet from a balcony. As everyone knows balconies are cool in the French Quarter and very hard to get access to. As luck would have it the doorman for Temptations overheard our conversation and brought the floor manager out. They opened the balcony and escorted my couple up. There they were perched, she with bouquet in hand.

Even on a Tuesday evening Bourbon Street doesn't lack in participants.

A small crowd gathered. Unbeknownst to me, a guy was standing nearby talking on his phone while drinking one of those giant plastic Bourbon Street specialties. (In my defense its really dark in this spot). As she tossed her flowers they landed right in his phone hand.

There he was still talking on the phone, holding the bouquet and his cocktail, never spilling a drop. 

But the truly funny part was what I didn't see at the time as I was concentrating on Alex and Carlos. The bouquet recipient had an interesting t-shirt on. If you are offended by profanity, etc. I'd recommend you blowing off this post. But I just love getting moments, especially the ones within a posed portrait, photo bombs.
