Elizabeth Jayne in her Bespoke Wedding Dress

A Timeless New Orleans Wedding: Elizabeth Jayne & Mark

New Orleans is a city that exudes charm, history, and an unmistakable vibrancy. Recently, we had the honor of capturing the wedding of Elizabeth Jayne and Mark, a couple whose love story is as enchanting as the city itself. This wedding was a celebration of heritage, love, and exquisite artistry, encapsulated perfectly in Elizabeth Jayne’s unique wedding gown.

A Dress Steeped in History

Elizabeth Jayne’s wedding dress was a labor of love and a tribute to her family’s legacy. She designed it herself, incorporating elements from her grandmother’s 1950s gown. The result was a stunning, bespoke creation that beautifully blended vintage charm with modern elegance. The delicate lace and intricate detailing told a story of timeless romance, making Elizabeth Jayne’s walk down the aisle a moment to remember.

Capturing the Magic of Film Photography

As always, capturing this wedding on film was an absolute joy. Film photography has a unique ability to convey the depth and emotion of a moment, bringing out the natural beauty and genuine connection between people. Elizabeth Jayne and Mark’s wedding was filled with these precious moments, from their heartfelt vows to the joyous celebration with family and friends. Every frame was a testament to their love story and the artistic beauty of film photography. For their wedding day, I shot medium format film on various types of film cameras including a TLR yashica mat. There’s just something about film.

An Elegant Celebration

The wedding and reception were both held at historic venues in New Orleans, adorned with lush florals and elegant decor. The atmosphere was one of sophisticated charm, perfectly reflecting the couple’s refined taste. Elizabeth Jayne and Mark’s attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the celebration, from the personalized wedding favors to the meticulously arranged tablescapes. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Immaculate Conception Catholic Church off Baronne St. in New Orleans, and the reception was at Felicity Church. Both are staples of New Orleans and New Orleans history.

A Love Story to Remember

Elizabeth Jayne and Mark are a couple who truly value the finer things in life, and their wedding was a beautiful reflection of this. Their love for each other, their families, and the traditions they hold dear were evident in every detail. It was an honor to capture their special day and to create images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you, Elizabeth Jayne and Mark, for allowing us to be a part of your incredible journey. Your wedding was a beautiful reminder of why we love what we do – capturing love stories through the lens of film photography.
