Love has a wonderful way of taking its own sweet time, and this week, on a gorgeous Tuesday morning at 10:00 AM, we had the absolute honor of bringing Ash and Joey’s 20-year love story to its next beautiful chapter.
Traveling all the way from California to the heart of Louisiana, Ash and Joey decided that after two decades together, there was no better place to say “I do” than the historic, romantic streets of New Orleans. With its historic cobblestone paths, romantic wrought-iron balconies, and timeless French Quarter charm, NOLA provided the ultimate backdrop for their long-awaited destination elopement.
Intimate Vows in Historic Pirate’s Alley
Under the soft morning light, surrounded by centuries of Crescent City history, Ash and Joey exchanged their vows in iconic Pirate’s Alley. Tucked right alongside St. Louis Cathedral near Jackson Square Park, this legendary passageway gave them an intimate, secluded feel right in the middle of the city.
As they spoke their heartfelt promises to one another, 20 years of shared memories, joy, and devotion culminated in one magical moment.
Iconic French Quarter Wedding Photoshoot
Following their ceremony, we took full advantage of the morning sunlight for a post-wedding photoshoot around Jackson Square. From the dramatic architecture of St. Louis Cathedral to the lush park greenery and historic iron gates, every shot captured the effortless romance of Ash and Joey’s New Orleans elopement.
