As many of you know I am a New Orleans transplant having come from Arizona. So, when William and Maria called me from Winslow, Arizona I was so excited to photograph their wedding and portraits while showing them my New Orleans. The funny part and a great compliment as well was when we finished on the second day after their Second-Line Parade through the French Quarter, Maria pulled me aside and blew my mind.
See, Bill had originally called and booked me.
I only spoke with Maria a couple of times.
Bill liked the artistic way I photograph elopements. But what he didn't tell me is what Maria revealed later.
Paraphrasing her, 'I was dreading being photographed. But now I can't believe I was worried at all. I had such a great time and you made me feel so comfortable.'
So, here are a handful of my favorites from their portrait session and Second-Line. Oh, and if you are curious - they booked for 3 hours. I forgot to tell you that Maria is a huge fan of the artist Frida so we definitely did some tribute shots.
