The moment I walked into the bridal suite at The Moore and heard Lillian and her bridesmaids singing along to Taylor Swift, I knew right away it was going to be an incredible day. That feeling only grew stronger as the hours passed. The laughter, the music, and the excitement filled every corner of the space and made documenting these moments feel so special.

Lillian was radiant in her gown from The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe, and the bridesmaids looked stunning in the most lovely shade of purple.

Everywhere I turned, there were beautiful details to capture at The Moore. One of the things I must mention is how incredible the flowers smelled. I know…what a strange detail to add, but they did!

Their ceremony was heartfelt and personal, led by Michelle with Just Married Y’all. Watching Ryan see Lillian walk down the aisle was one of those moments that never loses its magic, no matter how many weddings I photograph. You could see the excitement all over them.

When it came time to celebrate, everyone understood the assignment. The Kinfolk Brass Band brought that unmistakable New Orleans energy for a second line to welcome everyone to the reception, while the DJ kept everyone dancing late into the night. Ryan himself kept the dance floor hot, even breaking out an air saxophone solo that had everyone cheering! (Myself included after I snapped the photo!)

These are the weddings that remind me why I love what I do: the genuine love, the laughter, and the memories that will last a lifetime.

Lilly and Ryan, thank you for letting me be part of your story.
