Tree of Life Elopement, New Orleans, LA
Monique and Justin chose to forgo the traditional wedding route and eloped in one of their favorite cities—New Orleans. Instead of a large celebration, they opted for a more personal and meaningful experience, tying the knot under the Tree of Life in Audubon Park, surrounded by a few close family members. The ceremony was intimate and full of emotion, reflecting the couple’s desire to celebrate their love in a unique way. Afterward, we set out to capture stunning portraits in some of New Orleans' most iconic spots, including the picturesque Garden District, the historic French Quarter, and of course, lively Bourbon Street. From the vibrant architecture to the charming streets, New Orleans offers the perfect backdrop for couples seeking a unique elopement or a small wedding with an urban twist. One of the things I love about this city is how it beautifully blends urban energy with natural beauty. Even in the heart of the city, there are serene locations where you can feel connected to nature. Whether you're looking for an urban wedding, an outdoor ceremony, or a mix of both, New Orleans provides endless possibilities for creating an unforgettable, intimate celebration.
