Visit Lamps and Lighting by Design in Baton Rouge

Congratulations and many thanks to my great friends Reily and Mitsy Murphy, new owners of Lamps and Lighting by Design on Highland Road. I wish them all the best with this new adventure and also appreciate them choosing Ocken Photography to photograph their entire inventory! We can tell you firsthand that they have gorgeous lamps, grand chandeliers, and unique decorative art pieces. You can see them in the store now — Lamps and Lighting will be having an end of the summer sale with 10%-75% off storewide from August 14 to 16, 2008 — and they’re also coming soon online. 

And, special thanks to the OP staff for their meticulous work with these images. You did a great job!

Definitely “A Stem Above” –
Erin and Tony’s Wedding!

Erin Foster (owner of A Stem Above) and Tony Olszewski tied the knot in Chicago in May 2008, and it was an awesome celebration from the beginning to end. The priest was a life-long friend and made the ceremony something to remember. The speeches brought tears to everyone’s eyes—especially the bride and groom! The cake was beautiful, and Erin and her team from A Stem Above rocked the house on the reception decor. It felt like there were 10,000 candles at the reception, and the flowers gave such life to the space, which was part of the old Marshall Field’s building downtown.

Working with Erin on weddings for the past few years has been a treat, and to be a part of her day was a special honor. Erin and Tony, we wish you all the best in all your adventures together as husband and wife!
