Randi and Kirks Proposal Story

Our roots were planted early in a beautiful place- Holy Rosary Catholic Church.  A place that has been special to Kirk and me our entire lives.  And just when I thought Holy Rosary couldn’t possibly mean more to me, December 23, 2016 happened.

For weeks, we had made plans with our good friends, Jacob and Savannah, to go see the Christmas lights at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.  We would drive to New Orleans together, see the lights, and eat at a fancy restaurant.  I had strict orders from Savannah that I needed to be nicely dressed for the restaurant.

On the morning of December 23rd, I received a text from Kirk saying he would be helping his paw around the house and then eventually at the church.  This was normal because Kirk and Paw are always getting into projects.  Throughout the day Kirk kept in touch but as it got closer to the time for us to leave for New Orleans, I became anxious.  Everyone was supposed to meet at my house before our adventure.  Instead, Kirk became “tied up” and asked if we could pick him up from the church.  As we drove into the front of the church, it was beautifully decorated for Jesus’ upcoming birthday.  Savannah exclaimed, “The church is so pretty, we should take pictures in front of the cross”.  Again, this was normal because Savannah and I are always ready to take pictures at any given moment.  We pulled in and started walking towards the cross.  Kirk jetted out the side of the church yelling, “C’mon y’all! We have to go.  We have reservations to make.” Typical!

As were taking a picture, Kirk turned and pulled a box from the foot of the cross.  And right there, at the foot of Holy Rosary’s cross, and the feet of Jesus, he asked me to plant our roots together, and continue our faith as one.  Of course, I said YES.  I am GRATEFUL!!!!!

THE GIRL WITH THE CAMERA

MEET TASHA

laidback vibes meets super-profesh resume

With or without my camera, I’ve built a life that lives at the intersection of chill and reliable. Which basically means for my couples that I make their photography fun without ever being pushy. You tell me what you need and I’m there with a smile.

If I wasn’t a photographer, I’d be a walking tour guide. Nothing inspires me quite like the gorgeous mansions, grand old oaks, and colorful culture that makes New Orleans vibrant. Instead of going on a tour, though, I get to explore all these amazing places when I’m there to photograph you and your wedding. How lucky am I!?!

THE GUY WITH THE CAMERa

MEET
JACOB

self-taught meets self-motivated

Eight years ago, I fell hard for documenting weddings when Tasha started bringing me in to assist. It combines everything I love—getting to meet new people (if you can’t find me ever, it’s because I’m becoming best friends with your dad), experiencing new things, and creating something lasting while I’m at it.

Outside of videography, you can find me literally outside. I love to kayak, rock climb, and get out and explore with my family.

We love to capture your wedding day across all media, from the textural film photos to the crazy beautiful candids, from the modern highlight reel to the warm + retro Super8 montage. No matter the media, the goal is the same—tell the story of what today means to you.
