Vintage Wedding by Three Nails Photography
This Louisiana wedding sent to us by Three Nails Photography is about as vintage and gorgeous as they come. So gorgeous, in fact, that upon first glance we thought it was a photo shoot. But no, it’s just a really amazing, totally stylish and eclectic real wedding and the even better part? The extremely talented Groom also happens to be the photographer behind most of these beautiful images. How awesome is that? Sit back and revel in a little Louisiana beauty and definitely click over to the gallery for more of this perfect day.

From the Bride… Our wedding was very unique in that all the decorations were antiques. We got a lot of the pieces from our grandparents and family members. All of the old pictures are of our family. Some of them who arn’t with us anymore and it meant a lot that we could have them there, even if it was just in a picture. We both believe we should have been born in the 40′s so we tried to take that vintage/indie feel and express that in the most meaningful day of our life. The necklace I wore was my great grandmothers who past away when I was one. She is who I was named after and I loved being able to have a piece of her with me that day.
What was really special is having my fiance take my bridals. It took me a while to agree to it but in the end I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Who can say that they’re future husband took their bridal portraits? It also took away a lot of nerves on the day of the wedding knowing that he’d seen me in my dress already. What I love the most is that my now husband, photographed the entire day. We did have help by an assistant for the ceremony and other pictures he was in. He came in and took some pictures of me before the ceremony and it was really fun being able to see him before. We loved that Hunter was able to capture our wedding exactly how we saw it.
The most memorable part of the day for me was probably dancing with my dad, and glacing over and seeing my new husband with his camera capturing the moment. We wanted our wedding to totally express who we are and what we love. We wanted it to be different, like us. I walked down the isle to Dream by Priscilla Ahn. It couldn’t have been more perfect. And as husband and wife we walked back down the isle to Temper Traps Sweet Disposition. The music at the reception was just a playlist of all of our favorite songs. Our first dance was to I’ll Be Seeing You by Billie Holiday. When we first heard this song we fell in love.

ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!
Wow....I am stunned, what a fantastically put together wedding! And the photographer did a great job melding contemporary shots with antique styles! I'm speechless!
Well MY day just got turned around for the better! I was being whine-y so I decided to escape on SMP for a few minutes....did the trick, just like always! What a sweet, detailed, PERSONAL wedding. I love it. I love that he took her bridal portraits, I love the bridesmaids dresses, and I especially love that last photo! Many happy congratulations to the (beautiful!) bride and groom.

I absolutely love the bride's dress! She is just beautiful. And the bridesmaid dresses are super cute! Anyone know where they are from? Love the flowers too :)

I can't believe that dress is from David's Bridal. Just goes to show you don't have to spend a lot to look like a million bucks! :)
I'll never tire of wedding dresses with pockets - so cute!! And those shoes!! Those shoes!!!
Wow. What a cool chandelier. How could I get my hands on one of those?
love, love, love...The photography is amazing and vintage chic was perfect!
HOLY MOLY! Love this wedding and all of the portraits in the field of the bride and groom! :)
The epitomy of lovely - the dustbowl '40s feel and diffused sepia tones of the decorations in particular.

the bridesmaid dresses are ASOS...but tried to look for it, cant find it. anyone know exactly where to find the bridesmaid dresses? have the brand, but can't find the exact dress.

What awesome Photos.....Looks like the wedding was a blast.....great job Hunter
Loved the photos!! Please tell me where you got your flower, the one in your hair. Beautiful Bride! I am looking for a flower like that.
OH WOW! I listened to Dream by Priscilla Ahn while I viewed your gallery and I have to say it was as if I could feel every single emotion captured in your beautiful pictures. I am Amazed!! So much love captured in these breathtaking photos. You and your husband are truly blessed with a special kind of love and magic I rarely see in people. Now I'm even more excited for my own wedding day :)
I love the beautiful flower in your hair! Can you tell me who on Etsy you got it from? It's perfection! Thanks :)
ridiculously beautiful. so much detail and thought into everything. photography is stunning!
The pictures are simply just gorgeous!! The sense of of warmth and loving form these "rustic" shots made me feel all "gooey" inside. Some of the best wedding shots I have seen! :)
Her gown is just.... WOW!
This wedding is absolutely gorgeous! Makes me want to get married all over again!
Gorgeous wedding! please can you let us know where you got the flower for your hair? I love it!
This is simply gorgeous. I only wish I had taken all my own wedding pictures to remember it exactly the way I saw it and be able to capture the things that truly meant something to me.
I so love these pictures. Three Nails Photography add such a unique touch to their photos. Just beautiful!!
I cannot get over how much I love this. After seeing only one photo, I was in love. When I came across this yesterday I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. The photos are beautiful, I adore the dress, I love the bridal party outfits, the flowers are pretty, the candy bar is adorable, the location is adorable, and once again I LOVE the photos.
I was even more excited to see that the bride actually wrote the post! I’m so tired of viewing beautiful pictures and not knowing the meaning behind all of the little touches. I love the song selections that you chose. It is easy to tell that much thought went into this but it does not look at all over done.
I have not been able to get this off my mind. I have been sharing this post with all of my friends. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am officially in love with the best wedding that has been featured on the site! Every detail is stunning and I cannot get over how a teenager with no photography training can create such beautiful art. Hunter is a visionary and am sure this wont be the last we see of his photography...
Wow Incredible, the themes expressed here are fantastic... ONE question... the Shoes who makes them?, I'm getting married in May and need shoes that are vintage to go with my claire pettibone dress! I almost recognize the trade mark in the shoes but cant quite remember it. please someone help?
LOVE this wedding. Absolute perfection.
Also, where are the bridesmaid's hairpieces from?
....love ALL of it!
This is AMAZING!!!! BY FAR the best wedding EVER published on SML!
I imagine that Noah and Allie from The Notebook's wedding was similar to this! :)
This is simply GORGEAOUS! Beautiful couple...photos are amazing, lighting is perfect...love everything about it...so inspiring and unique..I'm recently engaged and recently started lookint at SMP so I'm pretty new to all of this but this wedding is just IT for me; it's PERFECT!...so perfect I already contacted Three Nails Photography to see if maybe they can do my wedding as well (ok so my wedding is not til 2012 but it's good to plan ahead:)!
Wow!!! This is simply perfect! What a couple and what a photographer... I wish that this kind of wedding was more common here in Brazil...
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I've fallen in love with the work that Three Nails does. The photographs are works of art and the styling and details are pitch perfect. Can't wait for Hunter to shoot my NYC wedding in August!!
OMG!!!!! My friend told me to look on SMP to see the most beautiful wedding ever by a a photographer in Louisiana. It took me a while to find it but it was worth the search!! I was transformed to another place and time just looking at these photos. The bride was stunning, her dress, those shoes, the lighting in her pics, you could actually tell that the her photos were taken by someone who loves her. wow, wow, wow!! The groom being the photographer (who takes the most stunning photos I have ever seen, visited the website "WOW") just adds to the "aaaawe". Thank you SMP for sharing the most awesome wedding I have seen on this blog! I am getting married in the spring of 2013 and I am ceritan I found my photographer!!!!
Love Love Love this wedding! I love everything about it! The bride is beautiful! These pictures are top notch!
