Some wedding days feel like the fulfillment of something long hoped for — a quiet promise finally blooming into reality. For Sommer + Michael, their January New Orleans wedding was exactly that. A day that felt like an answer to prayers on both sides, wrapped in heartfelt words, deep emotion, and the unmistakable charm of the historic Old Ursuline Convent.
Their story has always been one of courage and connection. What began with him working up the nerve to reach out — his final play, his Hail Mary — grew into a love that is steady, intentional, and beautifully balanced. Again and again, the people who love them most echoed the same sentiment: she balances him out — a beautiful compliment in every way.
A Ceremony Filled With Meaning & Quiet Magic
The Old Ursuline Convent provided the perfect backdrop for a ceremony rooted in reverence and history. Soft winter light, centuries‑old walls, and the presence of their closest people created a setting that felt sacred and deeply personal.
Thoughtful words from loved ones were woven throughout the day, adding layers of meaning to every moment. Their highlight film carries these voices like threads — stories, blessings, and reflections that paint a fuller picture of who Sommer + Michael are together.
Love That Feels Easy
One of the most touching themes of their day was the simplicity of their connection. Over and over, you hear it in the letters, the toasts, the quiet moments between them: Loving you is easy.
Their relationship carries a gentleness, a steadiness, and a sense of rightness that made the entire day feel peaceful and deeply grounded.
A Celebration Only New Orleans Can Deliver
And because this is New Orleans, the emotion of the ceremony was only the beginning. As the sun set, the celebration shifted into a joyful, spirited party — the kind of night the city is known for. Music, laughter, and the warmth of their people filled the air, creating a reception that was vibrant, heartfelt, and full of life.
It was a New Orleans celebration done right.

Sommer + Michael’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of heartfelt storytelling, sacred tradition, and joyful celebration. Their loved ones’ words brought depth. Their vows brought emotion. Their celebration brought joy. And together, it all told the story of a love that is intentional, balanced, and beautifully answered.
