Rachel and Jack started out with a first look on the iconic blue Magnolia Bridge across Bayou St. John, and I was so happy that the couple set aside a good amount of time for portraits. This enabled us to shoot on and around the bridge, as well as take a quick golf cart ride to nearby Jack Bartlett Park, named in honor of the groom’s late father.
After some family and wedding party group shots, we then headed to Southern Oaks, where we were able do some addition portraits of the couple before the ceremony (saving them from having to sneak out during the reception for these shots!).
