For generations, the St. Louis Cathedral Catholic Church in New Orleans has been a cherished venue for weddings among New Orleans families, establishing a deep-rooted tradition within the community.
⚜️
St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic cathedral in the United States. It was completed in 1850 and stands on the site of two earlier churches, the first of which was built in 1727.
The cathedral is located in the historic French Quarter, facing Jackson Square. It’s known for its stunning Gothic Revival architecture, characterized by its three spires, soaring ceilings, and intricate stained glass windows. 💒
It’s one of the most photographed and visited landmarks in New Orleans. Visitors can tour the cathedral and attend mass.
St. Louis Cathedral is a place of worship and a symbol of New Orleans’ rich history, culture, and architectural beauty. ⛪︎
I highly recommend touring (for free) or attending a mass, then walking across Jackson Square to enjoy an order of beignets and a cafe au lait at another historic location, Cafe du Monde. ☕️😋 ⚜️ #architecturedesign #church #neworleansweddings #historicarchitecture #neworleansfrenchquarter

A first look between the bride and groom before their wedding ceremony is a beautiful and meaningful moment. It's a chance for the couple to see each other for the first time on their wedding day without the pressure of the ceremony audience.
♡
There are many benefits to having a first look before your wedding. Here are just a few:
♡
It can help to calm your nerves and reduce stress.
It gives you a chance to see each other for the first time and let your emotions sink in.
It allows for some amazing pre-wedding images from your photographer and videographer.
It can help to create a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere for your ceremony.
It will give you a chance to exchange gifts or private vows.
It gives you a chance to spend some quality time together before the ceremony to take a deep breath and soak in the moment.
