Matt & Brooke - New Orleans Louisiana Wedding Photographer - Southern Illinois Photography
I'm pretty sure all of Southern Illinois could hear me squealing all the way from New Orleans. This wedding....there are just really no words to describe just how excited I was (and still am) to have been a part of this wedding!! Thank you so much to Brooke and Matt and their (spectacularly) wonderful families for having Jay and I as part of it. It was a dream come true.
It was very evident that making sure their guests had a GREAT time was Brooke and Matt's top priority...and they accomplished that well!! The entire day was so laid back and fun...and filled with all of the best New Orleans traditions
.....and now the good stuff.....
Y'all know I love a good first look....and this was the first look with her pops and he did not disappoint!! :)
A street car....an essential must-have in New Orleans!
Jackson Square.
I didn't realize it at the time, mainly because I was so wrapped up in doing my job, but my mom asked "how did you get those shots with no one else in the background?" I had to stop when she asked that, because the entire time we were there people were just respectful. They mostly cleared out of the way when they saw us coming (we were a bit of a large group so we kind of commanded the area LOL). But that's New Orleans. There were some people in the backgrounds...but all we had to do was ask nicely and people were so accommodating with moving for a few shots. Another reason why I love that place!!
We have no idea who these girls were?? LOL They just wanted to get in the shot. I am going to try to track them down, mostly just to see if I can, but also to get them this image :) :)

LOVE this one....
The band. The Funky Monkeys. I cannot say enough great things about them. OH....and they can play the Nae Nae....twice if the bride asks!!! LOL
The second line. I think my favorite part of the whole day!!!! :) :) Such an awesome experience to be a part of. I'm pretty sure the guests loved this part as well!!!
