Tradition, Music & a New Orleans Second Line


La'Toya and Chazz celebrated their Halloween wedding at NOPSI Hotel in downtown New Orleans, combining elegant fall colors, meaningful traditions, and the unmistakable energy of a New Orleans second line.


Their wedding day included a first touch, an emotional first look, romantic portraits at City Park Botanical Gardens, and a ceremony and reception at NOPSI Hotel.


From jumping the broom to their choreographed first dance and a downtown second line led by Kinfolk Brass Band, the celebration reflected their personalities and cultural traditions.


As their New Orleans wedding photographer, I documented the intimate moments, guided portraits, family celebrations, and energetic reception. I also provided wedding videography to preserve the movement, music, and emotion of their special day.




First Touch, First Look & City Park Portraits


La’Toy­a and Chazz embraced the energy of New Orleans with a Halloween-day wedding full of fall tones, movement, and music.


Their day included a first touch, followed by a first look and portrait session at City Park Botanical Gardens. Fall colors added warmth to the images while shaded areas kept skin tones natural and consistent.




Wedding Ceremony & Reception at NOPSI Hotel


The ceremony and reception took place at NOPSI Hotel, a polished CBD wedding venue with courtyard space, textured brick interiors, and multiple options for indoor and outdoor portraits.




Jumping the Broom & a New Orleans Second Line


After the ceremony, guests joined a second line parade led by Kinfolk Brass Band, filling the streets with sound and celebration. Coverage focused on candid storytelling—wide frames for atmosphere and tight shots for emotion—without interrupting the flow.


This wedding balanced tradition, culture, and elegance in a way that felt unmistakably New Orleans.

Planning Tip: City Park Portraits & Second-Line Timing


For New Orleans weddings that include off-site portraits at City Park Botanical Gardens and a downtown second line, timing is especially important. Schedule portraits around available daylight and allow enough travel and transition time between locations so photography doesn't interfere with the ceremony, reception, or second-line celebration.
