Abigail + Joseph Married

Abby & Joe's wedding was a New Orleans fest of love, big smiles, and lots of fun. They started the day with a first look in the park followed by some portraits which were halted by some uninvited rain. The groom Joe saved the day by insisting that the rain would pass and their outdoor ceremony would go on as planned. The rain Gods listened and Abby and Joe were able to have the park wedding they had planned. As the ceremony recessed, the party began to the tune of a second-line band. Guests paraded through the streets on to the party at the World War II Museum where they were treated by not one, but two fabulous bands back to back.

"We met through mutual friends at Tulane. My roommate/sorority sister was dating one of his best friends/fraternity brothers. The two rightfully believed we'd be a perfect match, and set us up on our first date."
