we got to check out the st. patty's day parade, catch some cabbages, and score some beads while in new orleans for anna and christian's wedding....and no we did not have to "do anything" to get beads!

some more shots from nola.

things have been pretty busy around whitebox these days!   last month we went to new Orleans for anna and Christian's fabulous wedding.   then we traveled to d.c. and Maryland for a couple of shoots (we will be posting them soon!).  melanie bought the house across the street from me, so we had to relocate her home office and residence.  then, one day we spent 6 hours in ikea buying furniture for our new studio space that is in the works (more news on that later).  we also hired an new photoshop guru and album designer (she is awesome!  we will introduce her soon.  she is going to make our turnaround time so much faster, yipee!).  we did all of this plus the 20 sessions and 3 weddings that we have had in the past 30 days!  whew. 

next week we are taking a little tour of the south east.  we are leaving bright and early monday morning to go to asheville, cullowhee, nashville, greenville, charleston, and charlotte.  we will be blogging from the road, so keep checking back!  we have 5 loveshoots and one wedding that we are going to be shooting on this "tour"!

 as we head out the door, we leave you with some fun shots from anna and christian's wedding.

they started their wedding day with a brunch of new orleans delectables at galatoire's in the french quarter.

mel and i found these little guys at a voo doo shop in the quarter.  we gave them to anna and christian as a little wedding present.  : )  don't worry they are good voo doo!

we had to do a shot with this cool mask! 

this is rosie's jazz hall where the wedding and reception were held. 

anna and christian had awesome music, the soul rebels brass band, and a grand exit.  they danced the second line out the door, complete with umbrellas and guest waving white hankies.  it was so cool! 

anna + christian live in durham now but they are louisiana natives- we'll be shooting their wedding in new orleans in march!  yea!

i love the shot in the window 

more b+w, I must be feeling moody today :) 

thanks guys!  have a great christmas and we'll see you soon!
