Abbie and Kenny live in New Orleans but are getting married here in Philadelphia next year.  When trying to plan a time to come up north for their engagement session they were having some difficulty coordinating their schedules so Abbie threw out the idea of me going to them.  What a fantastic idea! I jumped at the chance to do their engagement session in such an interesting city!  While I have photographed destination weddings several times in the past I had never had the opportunity to shoot a destination engagement session – what fun!

The first week of October I flew down to New Orleans for the shoot.  Since I had never been to the city before I left Abbie in charge of choosing the locations – and she did a fantastic job! We began the shoot at City Park which is full of old, beautiful live oak trees. It really was a magical location – and so different from anything up here!

After we finished at City Park we headed to the historic French Quarter for more images.  What a fantastic location for portraits! So many interesting doors, colors, textures – a photographers dream!

I’m crazy for this orange wall!

All the streets have their names in tiles on the corner, love that!

Of course we had to take a few on the infamous Bourbon Street!

Abbie and Kenny – Thank you SO much for having me! I can’t wait until your wedding in the spring!  Join me on Facebook for all the latest!
