Leigh Ann and Richard may just be two of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. Their passion and excitement for life is truly refreshing and inspiring. I enjoyed getting to know them both even if it was only for a short moment in life. I just loved being around them and felt so honored to be a part of their lives. They are both doctors living in Brooklyn, New York and traveled down to Louisiana for the celebration which is where Leigh Ann is originally from. Her Southern charm was obviously hard to resist when Rich met her in medical school. ; ) Their personalities blend so well and it’s obvious these two were meant to be together forever. I LOVE when people find their soulmate. I still pinch myself all the time with disbelief that I get to be a part of so many people’s love stories. It’s such a dream come true.
Leigh Ann and Rich: Thank you SOOOOO much… no really, SO much… for everything. You have both been such a blessing in my life and I am so grateful for your kindness. Words could never express how much I heart you both! XO
Their ceremony took place at St. Joseph’s Cathedral and their reception was held at the Country Club of Louisiana. The day went off without a hitch and everything was absolutely perfect! Enjoy a few of my favorites from their big day below.
The couple decided they wanted to do a First Look and because of that we were able to capture the following beautiful and intimate moments:
Michael shot this angle…
…and I just LOVE the expressions he captured from Leigh Ann. I adore her scrunched nose!!
Seriously, this expression completely describes Leigh Ann in every way.
Such a beautiful couple!
I LOVE LOVE the next two shots Michael captured of Leigh Ann with her father right before they walked down the aisle to Richard. Wiping a few tears of excitement as her father comforts her…
These two were seriously smiling at each other almost the entire ceremony.
You two better stop it with all that cuteness!!!
Married!
We headed over to the Country Club for the reception and some more shots:
Love this:
And this:
First Dance:
Michael got this adorable closeup of them. Love it.
I really don’t think they stopped smiling at each other all day. SIIIGHHH.
So as if Rich wasn’t already an amazing groom in my book, get this… He comes to me after the first dances were over and asks me if I can take more pictures of he and Leigh Ann. I was like, “is the sky blue!?!?!” I could not believe a groom was asking me to take more photos. I was in HEAVEN. My favorite thing about shooting a wedding is obviously the couple so the more pictures I can take of them, the happier I am! The sun was setting too so it was absolutely perfect. We spent about 10 minutes shooting a few more photos outside.
Doing a little more dancing on the golf course:
Then back inside for even more dancing.
The End!
