When I say this was the most ‘them’ elopement, I mean it! Holy moly, Lisa and Jordan, you absolutely nailed this! 🎉

A truly intimate, joy-filled day starting in the French Quarter to chase that incredible New Orleans light—it was all about genuine smiles, spontaneous moments and pure, unadulterated FUN.

Then...beneath the magical, sprawling branches of the Tree of Life for the most sacred vows. The energy was electric, but so peaceful.

And because these two brilliant souls are teachers? You know we had to make a pit stop at a classic NOLA bookstore . The perfect, quiet moment!

This is what eloping is all about: ditching the noise and building a day that is uniquely, beautifully yours. I’m honored I got to capture this chapter! Swipe to see the magic. ✨
