Abby and I just got in from a whirlwind visit to New Orleans, where we were privileged to attend my sister’s wedding. She and Tracey Hammill tied the knot at the New Orleans Athletic Club Saturday night in what could only be described as a perfect ceremony.

Assisting Abby and me with photographic duties were Michael and Thea. In attendance were a phalanx of Nicole’s friends and coworkers, many of whom I have know by proxy for many years. Most significantly for me, however, was the presence of my aunt Margie and her daughters, my cousins Leslie, Stacy, and Valerie. I hadn’t actually laid eyes on my California cousins since 1974, and it meant a lot to me to see them after so many years.

Despite the brevity of the event, we all had an amazing time. See the complete trip report now on The Traveller.
