Jessica and Mason
St. Peter’s and The Greystone Wedding

Jessica and Mason had an insanely fun wedding on Halloween night! Their wedding was originally scheduled to take place at Holy Name of Jesus and the Audubon Tea Room in New Orleans, but they decided to move the event to the northshore due to COVID-19 guest count restrictions in the city. They chose The Greystone in Mandeville for their reception. Though The Greystone can also accommodate ceremonies with multiple spacious outdoor spaces (or inside), this couple’s ceremony took place at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in downtown Covington.

The couple got ready at the lovely Southern Hotel in Covington, where we did some portraits of the bride in front of the spot where the groom had proposed.

After the ceremony, we headed to The Greystone for the reception. Before the party really ramped up, we were able to sneak out to the venue’s garden area for some portraits of the couple, and the dramatically-lit shot of the couple dancing was one of my favorites from that portion of the wedding day coverage. This particular portion of the property has since been covered by a beautiful pavilion structure that provides the venue with an even more flexible space that can accommodate an outdoor ceremony on-site even in inclement weather.

The Mixed Nuts provided the reception entertainment, and kept the dance floor packed all night long! In lieu of a groom’s cake, the couple had a table set up with cups of Bop’s Frozen Custard (the groom’s favorite) that guests could add their own toppings to. At the end of the night, the couple was given a fabulous flower petal send-off by their guests!
