St. Anne Catholic Church Wedding

St. Anne Catholic Church is where Emma and Michael hosted their winter and my first wedding of 2022. It was a cold and wet day, but nothing could keep these lovebirds down. We started our day off of the beautiful Hotel Zaza in the Museum District for hair and makeup, champagne toasts, and all the laughs. The wedding party then loaded up to head to St. Anne Catholic Church.
Once we arrived to the church, Emma and Michael shared a private moment for their first look. I have many favorite moments of the day, but this was one of the best. Michael was absolutely thrilled to see his bride and you can just see how happy they make each other. I have no doubt that Emma and Michael were created for each other. Wiping back tears, we started their couples portraits. When I say started, I really mean super started in an attempt to beat the rain. We managed to get through the photos and now it was time to send our sweet couple down the aisle to seal the deal. 
Once the ceremony concluded, we again attempted to take outdoor wedding party photos. Unfortunately, for us the rain showed us no grace and opened the skies. Like I said earlier, nothing could rain on Emma & Michael’s parade! The wedding party hung in there and made the best out of a less than ideal situation. After the rain turned from a sprinkle to a downpour, we sought shelter under the church breezeways and finished out the portrait piece of the day.
