{Louisiana} A New Orleans Wedding at Hotel Monteleone

New Orleans bride and groom with mardi gras beads“The Lovely Find is an exclusive wedding blog.”  I love saying that.  I’ve been known to say it to people who have no idea what a blog is, and — shame on me — I knew they didn’t have a clue what I was talking about!  For all of us who have worked on The Lovely Find since the first day, it’s a dream come true to be comfortable enough with where we are to be brave enough to ask for exclusive content only.

And, truth be told, I was terrified to make the switch.  So many of the people I’ve met have been awesome.  The thought of not working with them anymore because I added more “rules” to The Lovely Find made me feel less than awesome.  I worried, “what if this is wrong for us?  What if we’re not big enough or fancy enough?  What if we do this and never see another wedding?”

So far, everyone has been beyond fantastic, and for that I want to personally thank you with all my heart.  Stevie Ramos Photography, who sent us this Louisiana e-session a while back, found out that we are now requesting exclusive content.  She sent us the couple’s absolutely gorgeous New Orleans wedding to share with y’all.  Be sure to look for Stevie Ramos Photography in our new Southern Vendor Guides soon!
