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

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.

New Orleans Wedding Video at Holy Name of Jesus

July 17, 2008/ jones

In keeping with family's (Scottish) heritage, Trevor and some of his relatives wore kilts and a bagpiper played outside the church as guests arrived and departed their New Orleans wedding.

The kilted guards opened the large doors at the back of the church for CeCe's grand entrance and all of the 600 guests felt they were witnessing a moment of greatness. Trevor's expression says it all.

Father Taggert kept the service short, and Pat Denechaud from Crescent City Consultants kept the trains running on time from the beginning to the end.

After having a few photos taken, the newly wedded couple hopped into a horse-drawn carriage to wheel over to the cocktail hour back at the family home.

Next Tuesday's wedding video segment - the 2nd line band leads the guests into the reception tent.

Trevor and the fellas were camped out at the Ritz Carlton most of the morning before his New Orleans wedding. When they jumped on the bus to take them to the church, they had a police escort to help them make it in record time.

While they were in transit, CeCe and family were finishing up her photo shoot with the fabulous Stephen Karlisch. Don't you just love the super 8 wedding footage of her in her dress?

Tomorrow's wedding video segment - the ceremony - CeCe's grand entrance, and Trevor's expression!

New Orleans 16mm Wedding Bridal Prep

When CeCe stepped into her dress before her New Orleans wedding, the air was practically charged with the emotions of her family and friends (and from the sheer fact that she wore it like a goddess).

Mimi's Boutique provide the Vera Wang dresses for the bride and the bridesmaids (whom you can also see in this film clip).

To capture all the emotion of the moment, I pulled out my 16mm camera, the look of which perfectly paints the heightened mood - if you've been there, you know - when the bride puts on her dress, suddenly, it all becomes real! And shooting 16mm wedding footage of the moment captures the radiance, and the super 8 wedding coverage in black and white creates a shift between what was and what is to come.

Tomorrow's wedding video clip - The anticipation builds as CeCe and Trevor head to the ceremony.
