Paige and Justin’s Opelousas wedding was a heartfelt celebration that beautifully honored the couple’s family and the moments that were most meaningful to them. Set against the backdrop of a gorgeous autumn day, this couple chose sentimental locations and classic details to highlight their story in a way that felt intimate and personal. With a vibrant ceremony at St. Landry Catholic Church and a fun-filled reception at Wolff Banquet & Event Hall, Paige and Justin’s day was truly stunning from start to finish.
Wedding Morning at a Historic Family Home
While Justin and his groomsmen got ready at home, Paige and her family spent the morning at the historic Opelousas home that has been in her family for generations. Under the same roof that has held meaningful memories for years, she cherished some sweet time with the most important women in her life—her mother, her sister-in-law, her mother-in-law, Justin’s grandmother, and Justin’s daughter, Madison. Paige’s son, Rhett, was also with them, making the morning even more special.
The atmosphere during this getting ready time was calm, sentimental, and deeply personal. Paige told me that she really wanted her wedding day to flow at a natural pace—she didn’t want to feel rushed or bound by traditional photo poses or timing. I was happy to follow her lead and I kept my focus on the candid moments of the couple with their family on this joy-filled day.
Every photo captured was authentic, fully focused on family connections and thoughtful details. Paige’s father had recently passed, and she found many ways to keep his memory close during her big day—carrying his handkerchief and attaching a locket with a photo of them together onto her bridal bouquet. Paige and her mother shared several heartfelt moments that brought everyone present to tears.
Sentimental Ceremony at St. Landry Catholic Church
After everyone was dressed and ready, a classic Rolls Royce limo arrived at the family home to pick Paige up and carry her to St. Landry Catholic Church. This gorgeous white vintage car brought such an elegant, classic vibe to the day! During their heartfelt wedding ceremony, Paige and Justin shared their first look as Paige’s brother walked her down the aisle—a moment brimming with emotion and love.
Lively Reception at Wolff Banquet Hall
As soon as the Rolls Royce transported the newlyweds to their wedding reception at Wolff Banquet Hall, the celebration began! With live music from Three Thirty Seven and elegant decor including blush pink and white details, this lively wedding reception emphasized family connections and genuine moments. Everyone danced the night away!
An Opelousas Wedding Rooted in Family
Paige and Justin’s Opelousas wedding was a true example of how heartfelt traditions, sentimental details, and timeless elegance can come together to create a day you’ll remember forever.
