Mike and Regina’s wedding was built around celebration—layered, expressive, and unmistakably New Orleans.
Their ceremony took place in the outdoor courtyard at Algiers Auditorium, where lush greenery and privacy fencing created a calm, intimate space despite the larger venue footprint. Natural light filled the courtyard evenly, keeping portraits and ceremony moments soft and consistent.
The reception moved indoors, where the space transformed into a high-energy party. Guests enjoyed both a 360 photo booth and an iPad photo booth, capturing candid moments throughout the night while adding a modern, interactive layer to the celebration.
The evening culminated in an elaborate New Orleans–style exit, featuring a second line band, stilt walkers, and dancing Zulu Tramps, with Tidal Wave Brass Band leading the charge. Coverage focused on storytelling—wide frames to capture scale and tight shots for emotion—allowing the exit to feel immersive rather than staged.
This wedding perfectly balanced structure and spontaneity, showing how thoughtful planning allows celebration to unfold naturally.
