Annick & Matthew // Hotel Monteleone Wedding Video

We spent the entire weekend with Annick and Matthew starting at their amazing Rehearsal Party (because it was more than a Rehearsal Dinner) at the Court of Two Sisters in the French Quarter.  We loved how they opted to end the night with a second line through the French Quarter.  This was a wild first second line for most, since a lot of their guests were from out of town!  The Hotel Monteleone was the perfect setting for the entire wedding day...from the intimate moments while they were getting ready, to the never ending dance party that carried on into the wee hours of the night, Annick and Matthew celebrated in true New Orleans fashion!

The Hotel Monteleone is one of our favorite hotels in the city!

We loved Annick's two unique dresses!

Matt surprised me and proposed at the house. I came home from work and the whole house was candlelit...there was a pathway with a million arrows on the floor that directed me through a path of strings of photos that depicted ‘our journey.’ At the end, he was waiting with our two dogs dressed up in ties and popped the question! We called all of our family and friends, and then went on to the next surprise. I thought we were going on a scavenger hunt, and our first stop was the bar, Bellocq, and instead of meeting what I thought was going to be just my best friend there, it was a party of 30-40 of my closest friends! It was perfection. He even flew my maid of honor and another bridesmaid in for the celebration.
