Wedding at Sunset

On Sunday I met this young couple from Canada at the Park. They told me they were in New Orleans to be married on a famous stone bridge and would I help them find it. Of course, I knew the bridge (of PBase Mardi Gras fame).
The only people at their wedding were the minister and her husband, the hired photographer and Joshua and me. After the ceremony they went for a gondola ride then were having dinner at Antoine's in the Vieux Carre.
The sun was setting but I did not think it harsh enough to worry about. Joshua got some great pictures because I saw some of them. I plan to do a gallery on this "bridge wedding."






It was only 93 degrees.

They could hardly have chosen a better place or better time of day. I hope they live happily ever after.

What a wonderful story....they certainly asked the right person for help. I also like the second photo just a bit better.....the lighting in the first is extra special.

Touching scenes. The light is especially nice CPL
Susanne04-Aug-2005 02:35
I also like the lighting on her dress. I think though I like that second picture, because lately I pay mind to your curves in your pictures for some reason and there it is again the curve of the bridge. Very nice place to get married at.

Leo Charette04-Aug-2005 02:20
