Lindsey + Juan Carlos - An Intimate New Orleans Micro Wedding

February 28, 2018 • 2 Comments

I first met Lindsey and Juan Carlos at one of my weddings and I fell in love with them without them even knowing it. Creepy? Maybe. BUT, they had the most killer latin dance moves and I couldn't stop watching them! They were having fun and you could see the love radiating from their loud laughs and contagious smiles. I am pretty sure I told them about my admiration that night while they were dancing too. Fast forward a few months to when Lindsey emailed me about photographing her intimate wedding in New Orleans...I was OVER THE MOON!

They had a micro wedding with just their family in attendance and it was full of goosebumps and happy tears. She got ready at the always incredible International House Hotel in New Orleans and all of her details were well thought out. Her dress Pronovias Dress from Town and Country fit her like a freaking glove. I could not imagine her in a more perfect dress. Her cathedral veil was so creamy and completely showed off for in the wind. Juan's daughter Brianna could not stop smiling at Lindsey while she was getting ready. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen!

The ceremony at St. Theresa of Avila in New Orleans and it was insanely gorgeous. It is on the smaller side but does not lack dramatic feels. Seeing Juan watch Lindsey walk down the aisle had me tearing up ... he was so overjoyed and you couldn't help but be present in their marriage service. My favorite moment from their ceremony was when Brianna started crying the biggest, happiest tears that they were finally married and Lindsey was officially her step mom. Her daddy hugged her tight and I lost it. She was so aware and present to what was going on. She paid attention to the vows they promised each other and was smiling the whole time.

After their ceremony, we popped a little champagne outside of church before they headed to their private dinner space at Calcasieu on Tchoupitoulas. The space was intimate and cozy with brick walls, ambient lighting and it was dripping in candles and roses. Lindsey surprised Juan with a Cello player and they danced while their closest tribe watched in endearment.

I hope you all enjoy the highlights of their wedding day and I look forward to photographing more micro weddings in the future. It was seriously the best day ever.
