Joy and Scott’s wedding was just amazing at White Oaks Plantation. Check out how we can capture the details of the day, even as your story unfolds. The flowers and decor in these photos was designed by Fleur Du Jour in Baton Rouge, LA.

Outside Pictures Are More FUN!
“Jenn! It was such a lovely day and Lucas told me again that he likes you and
never wants to do his pictures ‘on the inside’ again. : ) I’ve never been
more excited to see the pictures — but I’m having fun imagining them in the
meantime.”
– Lani Laugar
Traveling and Family Time
Through all her travels this past month Jenn found some time to catch up with family and friends. Meet the ever-growing Evan Robert, Chris and Jessica’s son! You met him a few months ago as a newborn, and here he is with my Great Aunt Monie, who lives in Des Plaines, IL. She is kickin’ it at 93 years old — the oldest member of our family, and Evan is the youngest. “It was refreshing to share some time with family while hanging out in Chicago to shoot a wedding,” says Jenn.

Bob in LA
Bob took a trip to Baton Rouge, LA (get it?) to photograph Rachel Robert and Chase Menard’s wedding at an amazing church. The St. Joseph Cathedral was originally constructed in 1789, and it was a pleasure to document a wedding in such a glorious structure. Their reception was held at the equally beautiful Old Governor’s Mansion, and Rachel made a stunningly beautiful bride.
