Ok so we started our day in one of New Orleans oldest cemetery for a couple of alternative bridal portraits.

After hanging out in the cemetery for a while we were all cold and a bit hungry so we headed out to find a place to warm up, get a cup of coffee and bite to eat.

On the way to Jackson Square we came across a couple of old guys who play chess for a living. Emily just couldn’t pass this up; she had to play at least one game.

After Emily was done getting beaten at a game of chess we continued our walk to the square, along the way we saw this outside one of the local shops and just wanted to play with it. Funny huh?

Notice those awesome hand panted shoes – I painted those. The great thing is she wears them out and about quite often. Maybe I should think of starting my own line.

So before we totally trashed her dress she wanted one picture in front of the cathedral showing off her fun shoes.

And now what you have all been waiting for. Lets trash that dress !!!!

Naturally we had to take one posed shot in from of the cathedral before we got poor Emily all cleaned up and into the nice warm truck.

What a great day, and it wouldn’t have been possible with out everyone I mentioned in part one.

I also have to give thanks to my three assistants: Mike Liuzza – a great friend who also happens to be an amazing vocalist and musician from New Orleans; Jarod Normad – a fellow photographer who is doing some pretty cool experimental art photography; and JP Schilling – Mike’s sound man and travel support. With out these guys the shoot would not have gone as smoothly as it did.

And finally I want to give a big thank you to Rick, a street painter in Jackson Square, who painted my human canvas.
