Annie + Antonio | Chef’s Table Wedding

Annie and Antonio’s wedding at The Chef’s Table was beautiful, intimate, and oh so lovely.

We did their first look a few blocks away at the Iron Horse Hotel. The first look is always one of my favorite parts of a wedding day. I absolutely love when there’s an epic reaction, whether huge smiles or tears of joy, and Antonio definitely disappoint in his reaction. His smile was priceless! I don’t blame him – Annie was on fire!

After their first look, we walked to the venue while taking photos along the way. The area surrounding the venue had so many amazing areas to take advantage of – the 5th Ward area is great! So many gorgeous photo opps.

We arrived at the venue just as their family and friends were arriving for the ceremony. Judge Mosely officiated their ceremony. I love working with him, as he always keeps ceremonies fun and interactive. At one point the couple’s rings were passed around, allowing everyone to send some warm wishes to the couple and infuse their rings with love. He also did a hand ceremony, where he asked Annie, Antonio, and all of their guests to put their hands together in a certain way, signifying all the relationships in their life and how difficult it should be to part from each other. These special touches really made the ceremony so unique.

Their reception was everything I’d hoped for – beautifully decorated, food centric, and a damn good time. Champagne and cocktails flowed after their ceremony, leading into a beautiful and delicious dinner. Annie’s dad and Antonio’s grandfather both gave heartfelt speeches, highlighting Annie and Antonio individually and as a couple. It was just perfect, and as I said earlier, oh so lovely.
