Some love stories begin quietly — with a moment of courage, a leap of faith, or a message sent with hope. For Sommer + Michael, it started with a risk he wasn’t sure would work… his final play, his Hail Mary. And it changed everything.
Their January New Orleans wedding felt like the natural continuation of that story — tender, emotional, and beautifully narrated by the love letters they wrote to each other. Their words became the heartbeat of the day, guiding every moment with honesty, gratitude, and a deep sense of devotion.
A Ceremony Steeped in History & Heart
Set at the historic Old Ursuline Convent, their ceremony carried a quiet reverence. The soft winter light, the centuries‑old architecture, and the presence of their closest people created a setting that felt sacred and deeply meaningful.
As their letters echoed through the film, you could feel the weight of their promises — two people choosing each other with full hearts and full clarity.
Love Letters That Told Their Story
The narration of their love letters brought a rare intimacy to the day. Their words revealed the journey that led them here — the courage it took to reach out, the connection that grew, and the gratitude they feel for the life they’re building together.
It was tender. It was vulnerable. It was unmistakably them.
A New Orleans Celebration Done Right
And because this is New Orleans, the emotion of the ceremony was only the beginning. As the sun set, the celebration shifted into the kind of joyful, spirited party the city is known for. Music, laughter, and the warmth of their people filled the night — a true New Orleans celebration done right.
A Day Rooted in Courage, Connection & Celebration
Sommer + Michael’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of heartfelt storytelling and classic New Orleans charm. Their love letters gave voice to their journey, their ceremony honored their commitment, and their celebration brought the joy that only this city can deliver.
Their teaser captures it all — the emotion, the courage, the beauty, and the unforgettable start to their forever.
