Shoe shot, NOLA-style

Jun 12, 2010


I've always loved the idea of shoe shots. And I loved the one our wedding photographers captured {above} so much that a friend did a painting of it and we have it hanging in our home. It was taken right before our ceremony so we were bubbling with excitement ... everytime I look at it, I smile and remember.

A few weeks ago, J&I went over to New Orleans and I packed up our wedding shoes and tossed them in the trunk ... Everytime we visit NOLA, I marvel at the gorgeous antique water meters along the sidewalk. The moon and shooting stars stole my heart on our first visit and I've long thought how fun it would be to stage a mini-shoe-shoot ... and since we only have about a month and a half left before we depart for Europe, I figured it's now or never ... so we popped on our fancy shoes and I snapped away ...
