James Shaw February 28, 2019

Springtime in New Orleans is special. Lauren Bowman is special. I’ve met few people with a heart as big as hers.

James Shaw February 25, 2019

Well, that’s a wrap on the Palombo’s. I’m sad to report that they’re all out of daughters.

Elisabeth & Grant + Latrobe's in the Quarter + 12.15.18

James Shaw January 16, 2019

It was a beautiful evening in the Quarter right before Christmas, and as you would expect, the place was decked out. Latrobe’s was the perfect host, and while I’ve attended weddings there before, this was my first time shooting there. The place is as cool and historic as they come.

There is nothing like seeing a New Orleans wedding through the eyes of a bunch of out-of-towners.

Neil & Nicole + A Hampton's Wedding + 8.18.18

James Shaw August 30, 2018

I don't really know what to say about this one.  Just your average, fairly typical, smallish backyard wedding.  Just kidding.  This 'wedding' was more like a marathon.

Gracie & Sam + A New Orleans Wedding + 5.26.18

James Shaw June 14, 2018

Listening to all the rehearsal dinner speeches from the night before, I thought people were going a little overboard for Gracie.  Friends raved about her pezaz and zest for life, her ability to make anyone feel like family, her infectious energy.  I had met her more than once already, and instantly liked her, but at the same time I thought...this all can't be true.

Two down, one to go!  This Thomas Krewe is so much fun to be around.  The Thomas and Shaw clans go way back...all of us kids have known each other since we were born.  So, we're pretty much family.

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
