Bridal portrait sessions that take place after weddings have many names- Trash the Dress, Treasure the Dress, Rock the Dress, etc. etc. etc.  No matter what you call them, these sessions are great idea!  Brides and grooms that have one scheduled get to spend more time with their guests and at the party on their wedding days.  We have all of New Orleans available for locations, and can schedule the session to take advantage of perfect natural light.  We were blessed with perfect everything for Mary Grace and Perry’s session- perfect weather, perfect light, perfect locations.  We began the session in City Park about two hours before sunset and created some lovely photos featuring the lush gorgeousness of our native Louisiana plants.  Then it was on to the Bywater for a funky, urban look.  Once night fell, we headed to the J.W. Marriott hotel and their awesome bar.  If you are looking for a place to stay in New Orleans and you want the modern chic vibe, stay here.  Finally, to end the session, we frolicked in St. Joseph’s fountain in the glow of its fabulous neon lights.  Mary Grace and Perry were so fun to photograph- their boundless energy and enthusiasm was an inspiration!  Here are some of my favorite photos from their Bride and Groom portrait session.
