This past weekend, the gorgeous Brooks Nader and her handsome hub tied the knot in a stunning winter wedding filled with traditional elegance and New Orleans southern charm! From her chic strapless gown, to their towering 6-tier cake, to the living reception lush with greenery and white blooms from Billy Heromans… there’s just so much to fall in love with. Their lovely planner, Leslie Campbell, truly left no detail unturned. SO, without any further ado, we couldn’t be more excited to share the full gallery of exclusive images – all taken by Jenn Ocken Photography.
Before you dive in, you NEED to see this beautiful film of their wedding day, captured perfectly by Nathan Willis Wedding Films!

From the Bride, Brooks… We exchanged vows at an elegant, gorgeous winter wedding in the heart of New Orleans’ French quarter!
The ceremony was very traditional as it was in a stunning Catholic Church. The bride walked down the aisle to the same hymn Kate Middleton did, it was very regal and fitting of the venue.
The 320 guests were later escorted through the gardens at Ursuline convent with a 10 person brass band welcoming them on the balcony. The reception was filled with good southern food and cocktails and ice sculptures, Hermes blankets, and TONS of flowers.
The couples custom crest can be found throughout the entire evening, from the photo booth to the cocktail cups and koozies for the beers.
