Vintage-loving brides, this one is for you. “Paige knew she wanted guests to feel almost as if they had been transported back in time to an era of glamour. She incorporated many early 20th century period details, like her cap veil and the big band style music played at the reception. The color scheme was moody but bold, with a smattering of gold details to make the entire event sparkle.” Go see that vision brought to life with photos from Lauren Kinsey and a stunning film by Nathan Willis.

Paige Bennett and Thorben Primke were married on April 11th. They met in Austin, Texas and moved to San Francisco when Thorben, who was born and raised in Germany, began working for Facebook. When they were thinking about places to get married, they considered destinations all over America, but they decided on New Orleans because of Paige’s south Mississippi roots and love for New Orleans. The two were married at the Marigny Opera House, an almost 200 year old church which had been converted into a performing arts center in the Marigny neighborhood of downtown New Orleans, adjacent to the French Quarter.
Since Paige and Thorben have both lived all over the world, they had guests who traveled from places like Oman, Germany, and all four corners of the United States. When thinking about what she wanted the wedding to look and feel like, Paige knew she wanted guests to feel almost as if they had been transported back in time to an era of glamour. She incorporated many early 20th century period details, like her cap veil and the big band style music played at the reception. The color scheme was moody but bold, with a smattering of gold details to make the entire event sparkle. After a lot of Creole and German inspired food, the reception came to an end with a bang: a traditional New Orleans second line, in which a New Orleans jazz band led a parade of the wedding party and guests through the streets of downtown.
