Grace & Joey + a New Orleans wedding + 2.01.20

James Shaw March 20, 2020

Needless to say, it’s been a crazy couple of months. But with the world in the middle of a global pandemic and a little more time on my hands these days, I decided that this thing needs to get updated.

Stacy & Clayton | A New Orleans Wedding | 11.09.19

James Shaw December 3, 2019

Stacy is one of three sisters and the last one to go. Having previously shot both of her sister’s weddings (some of my very first), it was only natural that I finished off the trifecta.

Joe & Nicole + Benachi House + 10.19.19

James Shaw October 29, 2019

This was a special one. Both Joe and Nicole are two of the coolest, most genuine people I know. But what makes this one so special was that it never should’ve happened. I didn’t know if I should share all of this at first, but after a quick google search I figured it would be ok.

It’s a truly beautiful thing when love wins. Sam and Al and their entire crew were just a joy to be around, and it really makes my job that much easier when the couple is genuinely in love and happy as hell.
