In honor of today's post, we've made a donation to {The Make it Right Foundation} (started by Brad Pitt). Check it out and show your support today. In December 2006, Brad Pitt convened a group of experts in New Orleans to brainstorm about building green affordable housing on a large scale to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Having spent time with community leaders and displaced residents determined to return home, Pitt realized that an opportunity existed to build houses that were not only stronger and healthier, but that had less impact on the environment. Each house will be built to LEED/Earthcraft/NAHB green residential building standards. You can help make the project a reality by contributing to build the homes. If you go to the website you can click on various elements to "purchase", such as low VOC paint, CFL light bulbs, solar panels, and tankless water heaters.

WOW! What a wedding! And great post about the Make it Right Foundation!
Gorgeous wedding, gorgeous couple, and such a fun looking celebration! I can't wait to see more!
I have family in New Orleans, so I love and understand the feeling of this wedding. The images make me feel as if I am there. The W on Poydras is a beautiful spot for this gorgeous couple. Congratulations, Adele + Chris. Susan Stripling does it again...adore the peacock feather/ring shot. Susan, you truly captured the essence of this vibrant city. ~Leah
Susan Stripling is AMAZING and I am absolutely in love with this blog! I'll have to order a copy of the magazine, because I'd love to actually hold it and read it. I'm glad I stumbled upon this site. Great work!
New Orleans is the perfect back drop for this lovely wedding. I think the feathered parasol is my fave!
