As a second shooter for Laura Powers Photo, I had the incredible honor of documenting this sophisticated New Orleans celebration. There’s something truly magical about a wedding that perfectly balances modern elements with timeless, elevated elegance.
Allie’s Jimmy Choo bridal shoes featured that perfect twist of modern yet classic. The stationery suite, with its deep charcoal invitation and embossed lettering, set the tone for their elevated celebration.
The couple chose an intimate setting that reflected their style perfectly. The venue’s cream walls and elegant drapery created the most beautiful backdrop. Allie’s gown was a vision of modern bridal beauty – structured and sophisticated with clean lines. David’s classic black tuxedo with a crisp bow tie complemented the day’s refined aesthetic perfectly.
What made this celebration truly special was how personal every detail felt. Instead of following trends, they chose elements that truly represented them – from the carefully curated wedding stationery to the thoughtful touches here and there throughout the day. I personally am still obsessed with their “Til Death” wedding cake, complete with sparkling cherries which perfectly matched Allie’s red reception party dress!
Their reception created an atmosphere that felt both elevated and warmly inviting. The way they designed their day allowed for those natural, candid moments to unfold, and it was truly a pleasure having the opportunity to capture their love as a second photographer for Laura—a photographer I have admired for years! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer for your New Orleans wedding, reach out! I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
