I so often get asked questions about the wedding planning industry, how I started my business, what makes New Orleans weddings unique, and more, so when Helen from Borrowed & Blue— the online planning resource that can help you plan a New Orleans wedding—got in touch with me to learn more about my company, I […]

The goal for this shoot was to design a wedding for my ideal client! Something elegant and gorgeous with traditional roots, but a design that pushes the boundaries of tradition.

When I rebranded my business from Tying the Knot to Elyse Jennings Weddings, I wanted to design a shoot that would speak to my ideal clients! While I could have only dreamed that it could also speak to the nation, I about died when the editors said YES! Here’s their take on our ideal wedding!
