Trent and Allie’s wedding day was proof that when plans change, sometimes they change for the better. Originally envisioning a larger celebration in the city, they made the decision to pare things back when the scale began to overshadow the sentiment. What unfolded instead was an intimate, heartfelt day that felt entirely their own.

The day began at the Intercontinental Hotel in New Orleans, where Allie got ready surrounded by her best friend and maid of honor. Trent was just a few floors away getting into his suit with his parents, their family dog and the best man. The weather that day was incredibly windy and overcast, but the diffused sunshine poured into the room as she slipped into her gown, which was both elegant and understated, much like the day itself. There was a quiet excitement in the air, the kind that only comes when you know you’re about to do something truly meaningful.

With only their closest family and friends present, the ceremony took place at the Jesuit High School in their chapel on campus. The chapel is an intimate space with high ceilings, rich with color and reverence.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at Desi Vega’s on St. Charles, where guests were welcomed into an intimate dinner reception. Candles flickered across linen-covered tables, the sound of clinking glasses mingling with laughter and soft music. Every detail from the classic New Orleans setting to the understated elegance of the décor reflected Trent and Allie’s desire to slow down and savor the moment.

Their wedding was a beautiful reminder that scale doesn’t define significance. In stepping away from the elaborate and leaning into the personal, Trent and Allie crafted a day that felt deeply authentic and endlessly elegant.
