Full Circle Love Story

This couple’s wedding at the Napoleon House was nothing short of magical, with a love story that spanned decades. They were high school sweethearts who stayed together through college, but life eventually took them in different directions. Both went on to marry other people and start families, but after those marriages ended in divorce, they reconnected years later. Now, they were marrying their first loves, bringing their story full circle.

The wedding day at Napoleon House kicked off with a few intimate portraits and candid shots before heading straight into the ceremony. The upstairs room was filled with love, laughter, and the emotion of their beautiful reunion. As a New Orleans wedding photographer, it’s always a privilege to capture the unique stories that couples bring to their wedding day, and this one was particularly heartwarming.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests hit the streets for a lively second line led by the Kinfolk Brass Band, filling the French Quarter with music and celebration. The energy and joy were palpable as everyone danced through the streets—a true French Quarter wedding experience

We then took some stunning family portraits and couple shots, including a special trip to the top floor of the Napoleon House, which offered a unique perspective and an intimate backdrop for their photos. This historic venue, with its old-world charm, is always a favorite for wedding photographers in New Orleans because it perfectly blends the elegance of the past with the vibrant spirit of the city.

The night continued with first dances, heartfelt speeches, and a cake cutting, followed by an evening of dancing and laughter as the James Martin Big Easy Band kept the party going. This wedding was a beautiful example of how love, even after many years apart, can find its way back and create something truly special.
