Mr. & Mrs. Costales

Southern Oaks Plantation | New Orleans, LA

Married: September 7, 2019

 

I met Chad & Beth through our sons playing baseball together. After their baseball season was over, Beth called to tell me that Chad had proposed!! I was so honored that they picked me to be their wedding photographer. Chad & Beth have so much style and I knew this wedding was going to be top notch.

 

Early September weddings in South Louisiana are known to be a little warm but that didn’t mess up this gorgeous wedding. It was such a beautiful day for a New Orleans plantation wedding. I don’t know what it is about Southern Oaks Plantation, but on warm, summer evenings, the light is just magical.

 

Chad & Beth, Congratulations!! We couldn’t be more excited for you two!! Enjoy your wedding day from our perspective!
