Time to share another wedding slideshow. This one is from Jordan and Jodain’s amazing Lebanese wedding in Jackson, Mississippi. I’ve always loved documenting ethnic weddings, and this proved no exception. It seems like every wedding I’ve shot lately has been a new favorite, but this one really was amazing on so many counts. Besides the hookah pipes, I think the most unique thing about this wedding was the music. Not only did they have a huge band come and play live music at the reception, but they brought in a second band when that one was finished to play middle eastern music! It was awesome listening to it and even more awesome photographing all the excellent dancing that took place.
I’d like to thank Gwen Aucoin for shooting the wedding with me. She’s based in Louisiana, so if you know anyone getting married down there tell them to check her out. Her website is here. One other person I’d like to mention is Julie Crosland, who was Jordan and Jodain’s wedding coordinator, and a heck of a good one at that. Julie helped make one of the largest weddings (400+ guests) I’ve been to also one of the smoothest. I’m not sure how often she works as a coordinator, but if you’re looking for one in Jackson let me know and I will get you her contact info.
To watch the small version of the slideshow, just click the play button below to start it. Alternatively, you can watch a larger version of the slideshow here. Either way I recommend letting the slideshow finish loading before playing it (this might require pressing play and then pause to get it started loading) to avoid jerky playback. When you’re done watching the slideshow you can see the rest of the photos here. Enjoy!
Finally, I’m a referral based business, so if you like what you see and know someone getting married don’t forget to tell them about me! I have a website specifically for weddings here.
