Jacob & Stella-Marie stein
Jacob & Stella-Marie were married on August 2, 2025 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.
They celebrated their Nuptial Mass surrounded by lots of friends and family.
After a sleepover at the historic Remington Suite Hotel in Downtown Shreveport, getting ready began.
Stella-Marie had her cousin, sister, and college roommate as her bridesmaids. They surprised Stella with a scrapbook filled with pictures, letters, and memories.
Her mom grew up doing her makeup for different events, so it was only fitting that she did her wedding day makeup.
Jacob and his group of friends/groomsmen got ready in a different suite at the Remington as well.
A generational photo
Stella had a photo of her Grandma on her
Wedding Day doing this exact same pose.
Stella loved it so much that she wanted to replicate it.
a private moment
After getting ready, it was time to head to the church. Stella's mom and bridesmaids helped with last minute touches at the church before she talked to her groom.
Jacob & Stella-Marie opted to read letters to each other in private before the ceremony.
They stood back to back, so they couldn't see each other, increasing the anticipation.
Ceremony
Jacob & Stella-Marie's Wedding Mass was as beautiful as it was sacred. You could just tell Jacob & Stella were so giddy to see each other and finally be husband and wife.
Picture time!
After Jacob & Stella-Marie were named husband and wife, it was time to celebrate with some pictures!
Their families, bridesmaids, and groomsmen gathered around for photos, and we finished with
sunset portraits for the Bride & Groom.
Reception
The Stein's reception was held at East Ridge Country Club in their ballroom.
The evening started with Jacob & Stella's first dance followed by Stella and her dad, James, and Jacob and his mom, Pamela.
Everyone enjoyed a buffet dinner as well as 2 different kinds of cake. Jacob had a LSU cake for his groom's cake.
Stella surprised everyone with an outfit change. Her dress was perfect for dancing!
EVERYONE was on the dance floor, even grandparents!
The night ended with a sparkler send-off!
Jacob & Stella-Marie,
