It was raining all week leading up to this New Orleans inspiration session by Erika Parker Photography, but the rain clouds cleared just long enough for her to capture these images – and we’re so glad they did! With exquisite bridesmaids in Jenny Yoo and Nouvelle Amsale and calligraphy by Pigment and Parchment that makes our hearts skip a beat, this wedding inspo is worth getting lost in.
From Erika Parker Photography… This shoot had been on my mind for over a year before I actually started working on putting the pieces together. New Orleans has some really incredible buildings and architecture, and I always look for locations that have a timeless feel to them. We had some amazing vendors collaborate with us. Pigment and Parchment made the most incredible calligraphy suite that blew me away when it arrived in the mail. I couldn’t wait to shoot it! On the day of, it had been pouring for days. In New Orleans, it usually only rains for a short while at a time, but this particular week, it rained all week. I was so worried we would have to cancel. Somehow, for about two hours in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and the sun came out. It was just enough time to make the shoot happen. About five minutes after we got back in the car, the rain started again. Despite the mud and overcast weather, the images turned out beautiful!
