Getting to shoot Alyssa’s pre-bridal portraits at Race & Religious in New Orleans was a dream come true for me!
I actually stumbled upon Race + Religious before I was a full – time wedding photographer by chance. It was about 3 months after we moved to Louisiana and I was doing a couple’s session – we had met up at Urban South first for drinks and were going to drive around until a spot caught our eye. We drove by this super cute building/spot (which turned out to be Race & Religious) and stopped off to take photos in the area. When I got home, I googled the place and realized not only was Race & Religious a wedding venue, but like… a super cool wedding venue!
Since moving to the New Orleans area I’ve yet to shoot a full wedding at Race and Religious (though I am DYING to!), so I totally geeked out on getting to shoot Alyssa’s pre-bridals here!
Alyssa also had some of her immediate family join her bridal session for photos too! Her grandpa’s reaction to seeing her in her dress was priceless 
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to hold an intimate ceremony or wedding celebration while things are still a bit weird, check out Race & Religious for their micro wedding options!
