Two families gather in the swamp to create a magical southern wedding full of heart, soul... and gumbo.

In 2005 Hurricane Katrina ravaged much of the 9th ward leaving most of the upper east side destroyed. Many families had to rebuild their entire lives. For us this wedding was proof that love can heal even the biggest geological catastrophies a community can experience. This was a relatively simple home wedding, in a backyard with a tent... however an incredibly powerful display of southern realness. If you are a photographer you will know that truth reigns above all. The blood, sweat, and tears within the beautiful decay makes for the most profound photo experience. To date this is our favorite wedding.
