The court did move their original marriage date from Friday to Wednesday, but it ended up being perfect for enjoying the French Quarter with less of a crowd. Fortunately, Theresa and Nathaniel had a relatively smooth experience. A judge can grant a waiver for out-of-state couples. The marriage license process is cumbersome and requires a 24-hour waiting period before actually receiving the license. Theresa and Nathaniel knew they wanted to elope, but a New Orleans courthouse wedding can come with some hiccups. The next day, full of joy, Theresa and Nathaniel explored the French Quarter, and I photographed them as they revelled in their newly wed feels. I documented the mid-week New Orleans courthouse wedding with a mix of film and digital photos. When Nathaniel reached out to me, we decided to make it a two-day experience.
Theresa and Nathaniel wanted a true runaway elopement in New Orleans.
