The event was awesome. It was Gatsby-themed, which at first I wasn't sure about...but once I saw all the details and work they had put into it...it was actually pretty awesome.
Their first look was THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I was pretty proud of the way I got them to pull it off. If you want to see a mini-GIF of it, it's on my instagram (@denniskwanphoto) and it was retweeted by The Knot (@theknot) and actually made it to the front page of Instagram.
The bridesmaids all looked gorgeous in Monique Lhullier bridesmaid dresses.
There were so many groomsmen!
Loved taking pictures right in the French Quarter!
The ceremony was beautiful.
At one point, after Sam read his vows, which were sooo sweet, Aliisa instinctively leaned in to kiss him but then stopped herself just in time, realizing she wasn't allowed to just yet, and jumped back in the cutest way ever and the room erupted in hysterical laughter...
After their first kiss...
We did a second-line down Bourbon St. which was EPIC. The entire wedding followed a marching band and people screamed and cheered and threw beads from the sidewalks and balconies. It was so cool.
Since Sam and Aliisa both went to Brown, lots of my friends were on hand.
Charlie and Caroline were there...
Oh, and Allan, my newest BFF, came down to shoot the wedding with me as well.
(We were all INCREDIBLY lucky Allan was available. He normally charges like 12K for a wedding, but I was having drinks with him last Monday and he had never been to New Orleans before, and thought it'd be fun to come along and take some pics, so I convinced Sam & Aliisa to fly him down.)
I also promised him that I would have lots of friends there to introduce him to and that it would be SUPER fun. Which it was!
I love when my job involves hanging with my favorite people from around the world. Even Teebags came over from Thailand for it!
Farshid and Semmesey had a little bromance brewing...
As these little ones were cute as always...
Such fun!
