Spring has sprung

It’s May already- the year is flying by, it seems. It’s Spring in Louisiana, the weather has been great for the most part, and lending itself to comfortable afternoons/evenings spent outside. We better enjoy it while it lasts, before the hot and humid weather rolls in and decides to stay for a while.

Some of my favorite things about Spring are the nice weather, crawfish boils/barbeques, get togethers, and of course, all that’s in bloom this time of year.

Recently we visited our local park, sat in the shade, enjoying the warm afternoon breeze.

My family got together a couple of weekends ago to celebrate the engagement of my little brother and his fiance with a get together and BBQ.

 

Here are some ‘”we’re all here together, and we have a camera, so let’s take some pictures” pictures that we shot of them that day:

Hope you’ve been enjoying this Spring so far! Have a Happy Mother’s Day weekend!

 

{Weddings} Catherine and Yani

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Catherine and Yani. It was an honor to be a part of their day, and we had a lot of fun documenting it for them. The ceremony and reception were held at Catherine’s parents house, whose backyard was turned into a wedding day oasis.

Catherine is a girl after my own heart. She chose purple as her accent/theme color. When she brought me into her room to show me her dress the day before the wedding, she pointed to the painted purple walls around her and said, “See, I told you I had a thing for purple.” I happen to have a thing for purple too, and my room back at my parents’ house is painted almost the exact same shade of purple as her room.

A little Vera Wang for the wedding day:

Catherine, you were a beautiful bride!

We snuck a couple minutes after the ceremony to snap a few of the newly minted Mr. and Mrs.:

A perfect ending to a beautiful day, a fireworks display:
