Noam & Elise... the day after!

Elise & Noam... New Orleans

Meeting Elise and Noam was even better than the fact that I got to travel to New Orleans to do so:) 

The day started at the salon. Max got to hang with the girls... but nothing could tear him away from the 

iPod Touch. This kid is more technically savy than most people I know.





The hotel was less than a block away from the wedding location which took place at Broussards.


When in New Orleans... there must be lots of bead thowing, even at weddings.

There is no question that this was the best music EVER at any wedding I've photographed.

Noam's son, and his girlfriend, performed the first song for the newly wed couple.

Bonerama is a New Orleans brass funk rock band that doesn't play for many weddings, but they did for

Noam and Elise... and man did they bring it!!! There is nothing these guys can't play. If you ever get a 

chance to see them... DO IT. Seriously an experience that I will never forget.


The amazingly talented Leroy Jones, a jazz trumpeter, played at a pre-party the night before the wedding. 

He also made a guest appearance and played with Bonerama at the reception. I can't say enough how much 

fun it was to see these talented forces collide. 

Work...? or Play...?

Ed asked if I would be free to help him 'work' on Friday... being the good friend I am I put my work aside for

the day to help him:) It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

Because of her grand size, it was a bit of a squeeze. Supervision is a must... glad I wasn't driving that rig!



Just before the splash...

Log Book: Dough is the first signature of the season... he was also the last signature of the previous season...

No one can question his dedication to the job!

Three and a half hours later we made it home... to Burnham Harbor. Patika Paradise is the first one on the

dock... isn't she pretty:) 

Love this view because I'll never see it this way again all season! 

New Orleans...

There are so many cool things about this city...

Riggs Part III...

Riggs is now 5 months old:) Love this little guy!




Riggs is learning how to play with other dogs...

he can also 'roll over'...

...and give 'high fives'.

Keri & Rick... Newberry Library

In conversations before the wedding Keri let me know how important her grandparents are to her. She really
wanted to make sure I got a lot of pictures of them. As soon as I met them it was easy to see why... and I was
more than happy to oblige.




Keri did a great job of making sure the ambiance was spectacular!


There are plenty of great dancing pictures but I really wanted to end on this note... I loved that Keri and Rick
took some time, after the ceremony, to connect.
