Another week, another wedding here in NEW ORLEANS with the beautiful, wonderful, ever so talented business partner of mine (miss )! Before Jasmine and Matt’s big day tomorrow, we thought we’d throw it back to our very first special NOLA package ceremony featuring Lia & Shane.
Kim and I partnered up a couple years ago to curate the perfect package for any and all small wedding and/or elopement plans hosted right here in New Orleans - including, but not limited to, wedding planning and coordination, photography, videography and officiants all wrapped up in one fee for your happily ever afters.
The two of us are incredibly talented individuals with a passion not just for this industry, but this city itself. Making the entire experience something of epic proportions.
Gather more information on how to book by visiting my website (jacquetrades.com) or sliding in my DMs with any questions or concerns! We look forward to your forever 🤍

Here’s to Lia and Shane in the past - Jasmine and Matt in the present! And here’s to Louisiana! The state of love!

The photos from John and Amber’s 10 year vow renewal/re-wedding are IN!
What an absolute dream this entire process was. I’ve worked with a lot of first time couples over the past five years in the wedding industry - but this was my first bride and groom to do it all again ten years later and I can’t TELL YOU how incredibly special this was for everyone involved.
Yall…the way these two spoke about one another when the other wasn’t present was pure poetry. I’ll never forget those tears I tried with all my might to hide the night of the rehearsal when my associate and I asked John all about his love for Amber. WHEW. His answers to every question will forever go unmatched. As for Amber - her admiration and mutual love for John was just absolutely obvious.

I try not to ramble in these captions but today I’ll make that exception as a friendly reminder that every love story is so unique and special. Two attributes to my profession that make every pair so much more than just a job for me. I really love love. And I really REALLY love having the privilege of making a career out of it. Once again, THANK YOU GUYS for trusting me to help take you to the next level of your lives together. I am eternally grateful 🤍
Here’s to John and Amber!

Another collab with the beautiful, incredible, talented as hell 🥂 As always, I enjoyed working side by side with her but I especially enjoyed photographing this beautiful couple in good ol’ Luckenbach, Texas! Officially crossed that off the bucket list - so enjoy some of these sneak peeks from the day 🤍

Wouldn’t normally be posting this here but after all the drama and countless hours I spent on my headpiece for yesterday’s costume I just physically need the photo evidence to live on 😂
I hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

Hi all!
I wanted to tap in for a moment and inform everyone following that I have been locked out of my Facebook for several months now...all posts or promotions seen here were either originated by instagram or another secondary sharing site. This is the first day in MONTHS that I have personally been able to log in to my account and boy...did I miss a few messages :(

My heart is broken for those who reached out to me regarding business inquiries with no answer on my end...for that, I genuinely cannot apologize enough. Had I known you were here and waiting for a response from me, I would have definitely found a way to get in touch. It is not within my working ethic or business morale to leave any client left in silence and I am so apologetic for my absence on this platform. I simply had no way of logging in and thus had no idea people were reaching out to get in touch. For those of you who can relate to this sentiment, I hope you found vendors that were happy to work with you and made whatever event you were reaching out for everything you imagined it to be. Again, I apologize profusely.

I do want to avoid this problem in the future by reminding my followers that, should an instance relatable to this one happen again (hopefully not), I am always available VIA email, text, my website, and (so far) I have had no issues with instagram. If you contact me for any reasoning here and I go without response for 24 hours or more, PLEASE reach out to me in almost any other format and I promise I will get back to you ASAP. Thank you for your understanding and patience and I am so so so sorry again.

Best,
Jacque (of all trades)

Restoring balance in my life and in business. What better way to remind me of the joys that both bring than by standing next to a bestie as her bridesmaid in the literal paradise that is St. Martin 🤍 congratulations to both and on their brand new happily ever after!!! Watching you walk down the aisle and into your new world was EVERYTHING. I love you both, I love this life, and I love my job (as a friend, as family, and as a business boss 😘).

No one talks about how hard it is to go from one beautiful country beach to another for absolutely stunning weddings back to back and then having to return to your own home 😭😂
