When we began emailing back and forth, I had an idea…..And Laurel allowed me to execute it. I was nervous…scared even, to tell her that I wanted to shoot in a warehouse. I only expected a simple no, that she wouldn’t want to get her dress dirty. And she did give me a simply answer: yes.

I’m not sure why I was so scared because to be quite honest, I have been BLOWN away by the bravery of the women I’ve worked with. They are truly fearless, flawless, and fun all blended together. The women that I am so honored to work with such as Laurel are not only beautiful they are also carefree.

Even on the drive to the venue, I just kept thinking she would change her mind or that she would pull up and want to shoot somewhere else. We were meeting downtown and with the traffic being so heavy due to Mardi Gras I didn’t know what to expect.

Again…..I was blown away. When I saw Laurel she was STUNNING and more than excited to shoot! Her hair and makeup done by Courtney Davis of Kiki’s Consulting left her looking as a bride should. 🙂

Laurel got married this past weekend in the gorgeous state of Hawaii. Finally, I am able to post the images I have been dieing to release!

I believe the image above ranks among my all-time favorite bridal shots.

And I absolutely LOVED her shoes.

Personally, I wish I could introduce her adorable little pup to Chaos. I think they’d make a pretty cute match.

I never would have thought the lighting inside a warehouse could be this beautiful.

Laurel has the most beautiful eyes and smile…

Do you see what I mean? Fearless.

And yet, there’s still a subtle sweetness there. 🙂

Laurel,

I hope you are off enjoying the Maui breeze and the joys of marriage. You are going to make a wonderful wife and I am so blessed to have been a part of such a wonderful time in your life. Although I wish that I was there soaking up the smell of the water with you I look forward to seeing images of your wedding when you return. Thank you so much for choosing me to be your photographer here in Louisiana.

Live Simply, Love Freely,

Catherine
