Longue Vue House & Audubon Tea Room Wedding: Maia and Jared

Wedding couple outdoors at historic mansion with lush garden backdrop.

A ROMANTIC DAY IN THE GARDEN

Maia and Jared’s day began with the sweetest first look in the lush gardens of Longue Vue House. Everywhere you turned, flowers were blooming and the whole place felt wrapped in romance. They shared that moment with their parents watching nearby, which made it all the more tender. From there, we headed to the magnificent St. Joseph’s Church for their ceremony, a space that couldn’t have been a more stunning backdrop for their vows. The celebration continued at the Audubon Tea Room, where the energy shifted from elegant to electric. An incredible dance floor, a second line, and so many joyful moments—it was the perfect way to end a beautiful day.

Quiet Beginnings

Maia got ready at Longue Vue with her mother and her best friends. Gentle moments shared with friends before getting to see Jared for the first time that day.
