When two art lovers come together to plan their wedding day, you know that it’s going to be full of creative details and special touches. Heather and Brett’s intimate and artistic Race & Religious wedding was just that—and more.

And what would a celebration be in the vibrant city of New Orleans without beignets, smoked cocktails, and cigars" Don’t tell us. We don’t want to know. Thankfully Junebug member Sophie Berard was there to capture every detail, so get that smooth jazz music playing and get to scrolling!
