Every wedding has its defining moments, and for Gabi and Mike, their day at Abacus in Lafayette, LA, was a beautiful tapestry of such moments woven together.

The modern lines and sleek design of Abacus played a perfect host, especially the upper room, where one of the most memorable scenes of the day unfolded. We had planned a ‘first look’ for the couple, a private moment before the ceremony. There was so much anticipation as we got close! As Gabi entered, Mike’s reaction was both touching and sincere. The sight of her brought a tear to his eye, a genuine reflection of the deep emotions of the day.

With the venue exuding a contemporary charm, the real magic was in the authentic interactions, like Mike’s emotional reaction and their shared laughter throughout the day. Their personal touches, from the chic centerpieces to their varied playlist, were a testament to their combined tastes – a mix of today’s modernity and timeless emotion.

As the festivities continued, the ambiance of Abacus, combined with the joy of friends and family, made it clear that this wasn’t just a union of two people, but a celebration of shared histories and a promising future.
