On Saturday, December 29th, Hollie and Jake helped us close out the year by throwing an amazing New Orleans style wedding! We've shot approximately 50 weddings in 2007, and can I say what a fabulous way to end the year. The night before the wedding, I had a dream that I was at the wrong reception site and missed part of the wedding (yes, I too dream about your wedding day!!). Needless to say, I doublechecked, triplechecked all the addresses to make sure we were at where we needed to be! I shouldn't have worried. The entire day was either on time or early! We had a ton of time to shoot pictures of the girls (separately) and the boys (separately.). Hollie wore a beautiful gown (it's from the same designer as my wedding gown). Yes, great minds think alike! So onto the notables! Teeth! Hollie is a teacher (as is Jake) and she says she always makes her kids show teeth in pictures and she wanted teeth in her wedding pics. Of course, I relayed it to Jake that his bride wanted teeth - and he was more than happy to comply! The 2nd Line! This was our first time capturing the 2nd Line - how fun are the feather trimmed umbrellas?!! Bouquet and Garter toss - the recipients of both are actually getting married two days after Hollie and Jake. Yes, it does work. Maybe not as quickly as two days, but it does work! Yummy 9 hours pralines and a hundred year old sixpence! Hollie and Jake - congratulations. What a great way to end the year and begin a new year than with each other. Thanks for letting us share it with you guys :) (~Mariae & Vince.)
