photography and blog post by john michael cooper

Jennifer and Ricky.  I knew right away that once I started shooting that Dalisa, who was unable to shoot this wedding with me, was going to be jealous.  First, I had a beautiful bride with gorgeous eyes.  If that alone didn’t make Jennifer and Ricky’s wedding a pleasure to shoot, they had Dalisa’s favorite breed of dog – a pomeranian.  Jennifer also had celebrity make up artist, Mo Lewit (formerly on reality show, Blush) as her makeup stylist.  And to top all of that off, the reception was so much fun because half of the party was from New Orleans.   And yes, that means a 2nd line..  If you ask me,  a 2nd line should be adopted as a tradition for all wedding receptions, it just makes for a great ending to the party.
