“Everything I see returns to you somehow.”

When Kate and Kevin reached out to us earlier this year about their destination wedding in the Botanical Gardens in New Orleans, our hearts leaped for joy. We hit it off with these two when they flew in from San Fransisco back in June for their engagement session, so we knew the wedding day was going to be stellar.

We met up with Kate and Kevin in each of the rooms they were prepping in at the Ponchartrain Hotel in New Orleans, and were greeted with the warmest of hugs and smiles. They were both surrounded by the happiest of close friends and family as they got ready to head over to the Botanical Gardens for their first look. When it came time for their first look, it was by far one of the sweetest moments we had the honor of witnessing. These two are so crazy in love with each other and you can see it so clearly by the way they look at each other and make each other laugh constantly.

After wandering around the gardens for a bit, we made our way over to the ceremony where Kate’s father officiated the wedding (so incredibly sweet) and the couple shared vows to spend the rest of forever together. For the rest of the night, everyone had the time of their lives on the dance floor and danced the night away. What a beautiful evening spent with these two.
