Kimberly & Tim | A French Quarter Wedding | 3.25.17

James Shaw April 13, 2017

The rain was blowing sideways on my way to the Hotel Monteleone.  I had only met the couple once, so I didn't know exactly how the bride would handle this weather.  We had a first look scheduled on the roof of the hotel, and while we had a backup plan, it wasn't exactly on Kimberly's agenda.  "We're doing it."  She lifted up her dress (no easy feat) and with umbrella in hand, made her way out in the rain to meet her future husband.  This is my kind of client.  Rain or shine, she didn't blink an eye.

I'll say it again...I get the coolest couples.  These two were so laid back, no matter what mother nature threw at them, and they were rewarded in the end.  The weather cleared and we were treated to an absolutely perfect night.  The Pharmacy Museum and Napoleon House (perhaps my favorite bar in the city) provided the perfect backdrop, and the results speak for themselves.  Here's a quick little preview of an amazing wedding.  Cheers!

Man, I LOVE this city.  I love the culture of this place.  It's the most unique city in all of America, and it's not even close.  It's been a melting pot for centuries.  It's real.  It's authentic.  There's nothing pretentious or fake about it.  We h
I pray for all the black children of this country and all of the families that have lost loved ones unjustly.  My heart truly breaks for them.  I've had numerous interactions with police and less than desirable people over the years, and never once h

Finally getting around to publishing some very old blog posts. These are some very somber photos of what remains in Paradise.  It was the deadliest wildfire in California history.  PG&E just pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter
