New Orleans Wedding Photographer | Saint Louis Cathedral & Fillmore: Brooke & Collin
Some weddings are beautiful. Some weddings are unforgettable. And then there are weddings like Brooke and Collin’s—moments so unique, they feel like magic.
The day began with a breathtaking ceremony at the historic Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, one of the most iconic and sought-after wedding venues in the city. With its soaring ceilings and timeless architecture, it set the perfect stage for a love story like Brooke and Collin’s. Afterward, the celebration continued at The Fillmore New Orleans, a modern and stylish venue that gave guests the perfect space for an evening of joy, laughter, and dancing. But nothing could have prepared anyone for what happened next.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Surprise
Two weeks before the wedding, I learned a little secret that would become one of the greatest surprises I’ve ever witnessed at a wedding. The bride’s mom had arranged something truly unforgettable for the Father/Daughter dance—a live performance of “Butterfly Kisses” by the original artist himself, Bob Carlisle.
When Mr. Carlisle stepped onto the stage, the room went still in anticipation. And then came the shocker—before singing, he said:
“Ironically, I wrote this song for my daughter, and her name is also Brooke!”
The room erupted with gasps, applause, and pure emotion. It was one of those spine-tingling, goosebump-inducing moments that no one present will ever forget.
Why I Love Being a New Orleans Wedding Photographer
As a wedding photographer in New Orleans, I live for moments like these—the ones you can’t plan, the ones that take your breath away, the ones that become family stories for generations. My career has given me countless memories like this, and I never take them for granted.
Every wedding is a new opportunity to capture joy, love, and surprise. Whether it’s the grandeur of a Saint Louis Cathedral wedding, the energy of a Fillmore wedding reception, or an intimate celebration anywhere in the city, I bring the same passion and dedication to every couple’s story. With a camera in hand, I’m always ready when the magic happens.
Congratulations again to Brooke and Collin on a wedding that was truly one for the ages!
