Purvi and Rohit at The Wigwam Resort

I'll get back to the rest of my New Orleans trip next week but I couldn't wait another day to share these images!!! Purvi and Rohit's wedding at The Wigwam Resort was spectacular and so colorful. It was a joy to shoot! :0)

Ok, so here's one shot I took and processed it two different ways. I can't decide which is better! I love color but the black and white is so classic and it really makes the henna on her hands stand out. What do you think?








They were so fun!!











and Purvi had the most wonderful smile :0)

Nola- Day One :0)

I haven't had much time to post lately so you'll be seeing a bunch of images all at once! I hope you enjoy them!!

Working for The Windsor Court was awesome! Tara came up with this incredible itinerary that I never would have been able to put together (believe me- I tried!) Day one was jam packed with things to do- wait all the days were packed!!

Off to Cafe du Monde for a beignet and coffee... (OJ for me thanks!)




Walking around and trying to get used to the humidity was crazy, but it worked out great. Bruce and I would see things inside stores that grabbed our attention and went in like insane camera toting tourists! :0P








These alligators were EVERYWHERE!!! (kinda freaky if you ask me) so of course I had to buy my son one!!! ...He's seven and likes freaky haha


Some of my favorite things to do in New Orleans was to watch the craftsmanship going on! Painters, people making masks and there was a cool cigar shop where they made them right in the store- very fun to see :0)



I can't even tell you how many recommendations I got to go to Pat O'Briens!


Hurricane anyone?








And what a perfect way to end the evening of course- listening to a little jazz!
