New Orleans Wedding Video and Super 8 Wedding Film, 10 of 10

July 30, 2008/ jones

Just as we began, we end with Ian's toast. Ian had a way of finding the right words for the right time, and you can see in the wedding video how engaged the guests were in the love that poured from his heart

This New Orleans wedding has made me high.

In the future - final thoughts and some photos from Stephen Karlisch.

Jenny and Travis, the first 2 minutes

July 29, 2008/ jones

Kourtney and I had ourselves a good time with Jenny and Travis on Saturday. Despite the 101 degree heat, everybody was cool as a cucumber. We are blessed to be able to continue to work with such amazing couples.

Jordan Payne and her team did a magnificent job of designing the event,from floral to linens to keeping the trains running on time. If you love the look of what you see in the video above, you love the creative vision of Jordan Payne Events. Kudos to her and to her staff!

The Emerald City Band outdid themselves once again, and when they attempted to lead the guests outside on the "love train" to prepare for the couple's departure, the guests turned right back around, wanting to pound the dance floor for much much longer.

It's been a long time since we have worked alongside our 'roommate' photographer Gary Donihoo of f8 Studio. Expect to see some fantastic photos surfacing from this event in the coming weeks.

Jenny and Travis, thanks for having us along!

New Orleans Super 8 Wedding Mother Son Dance

July 24, 2008/ jones

Trevor's heartfelt tribute to his mother at the rehearsal dinner was only matched in emotional intensity by their celebratory dancing at their New Orleans wedding reception.

The Jimmy Church Revue laid it down, taking no prisoners for a number of sets as the guests danced non-stop until 2 a.m. The energy was likely to blow the roof off the tent had it continued much longer. At first, I thought the neighbors might object to such a late night celebration, but then I remembered...

...this is New Orleans!

Apart from dancing, guests could choose to go outside the tent and have a fresh cigar rolled by the Cigar Factory of New Orleans or enjoy some handmade taffy from The Roman Candy Man, a New Orleans fixture for as long as most can remember.

Next Tuesday's New Orleans wedding video clip - the finale!

CeCe and Trevor danced to Michael Buble's tune "Everything," performed by the Charlie Kohlmeyer band at their New Orleans wedding reception.

But the slow dancing didn't last long - this is New Orleans, mind you, and folks come out to party!

New Orleans Wedding Video - 2nd Line Parade

July 22, 2008/ jones

Oh When the Saints...

If you've every been to New Orleans, even if you didn't leave the hotel room, you were inundated with the purest jazz on the planet.

It's no surprise that this legacy makes its way into life's celebrations. The tradition of having a 2nd line band that leads guests to the reception is one of the most exciting experiences of a New Orleans wedding.

The Storyville Stompers guided the guests from CeCe's mother's house into the tent across the way to reveal the jaw-dropping decor by event designers Van Wyck & Van Wyck and mouth-watering catering by Joel.

Tomorrow's wedding video segment - The first dance.
