Engagement Photos!

As you can see, we had a blast taking our engagement pictures! My photographer (who is a good friend of mine) is amazing! I'm so glad that I chose to go with someone that knows me personally - she knows what I like (and don't like for that matter) and used that knowledge to create some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever taken. I can't wait to see the finished prints and to see what she comes up with for my bridals!

Our Ceremony Venue!

We have booked our ceremony venue, yay! 

I'm super excited about the location - it is so beautiful 

and the atmosphere is perfect for our intimate, southern

style ceremony and family dinner. Our dream 

wedding is actually becoming a reality! 

Here are the details:

Wedding Ceremony

Date:  Saturday, November 10, 2012

Time:  6pm
Location:  Degas House Courtyard, Esplanade Avenue, New Orleans

Before we made any decisions pertaining to our marriage, Mitchell and I had a heart-to-heart discussion about our dream wedding. We talked about the things that we wanted and what would make us happy and decided that a big, traditional wedding just isn't our style.

Although many people may disagree, having a huge ceremony in a beautiful church is not all that important to the two of us - we want our ceremony to be special, unique, and most importantly, shared with the individuals closest to our hearts. So we finally decided that an intimate ceremony in a New Orleans courtyard would be the perfect fit, and after seeing the venue, I know that we made the right decision. I couldn't be happier and more importantly, I am sure that the two of us and our guests will forever remember this special day.

Here are a few pictures of the ceremony venue!
