VANESSA & DAVID GET MARRIED: In the tradition of a quintessential New Orleans art form referred to as “second lining,” the wedding party and its guests follow a jazz band from the church in Chelsea to the event space, 91, in the West Village. Vanessa and David once lived in NOLA. Dan Fehlig (Founder & Director of The Upper Crust Catering Company that oversees the event space, 91) and his team outdid themselves with ingenious design of the venue space, manipulating the lighting and incorporating fabulous hues that connect to the colorful parasols and handkerchiefs that are frequently part of “second lines.”RECEPTION VENUE: 91 CATERERS & PLANNERS: The Upper CrustFLOWERS: Gerald Palumbo for Seasons a Floral StudioCAKE: Nine CakesBAND: Red Hook Ramblers

On my way home from a photography conference in New Orleans. Although sequestered inside, I did sneak out to experience the color and whimsy of one of my favorite cities. I captured these images using Leica M9.
