Lana Del Rey posts haunting wedding photo nearly a year after tying the knot; take a look

Lana Del Rey recently shared with fans a rare insight into one of the most intimate and artistic moments of her life — her marriage. Almost a year after their secret wedding, the singer has now revealed a behind-the-scenes image from the day she wed boat captain Jeremy Dufrene.

On Wednesday, July 30, the Summertime Sadness artist shared a dimly lit, moody photo of herself at the altar inside a quaint church in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, on Instagram. Together with Dufrene, the couple exchanged glances in a moment reminiscent of one of Del Rey’s wistful love ballads .

“May 12 angels guard you while you preach tonight,” Del Rey, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, captioned the photo. The only other figure in the frame was Churchome pastor Judah Smith, who officiated the ceremony. His wife, Chelsea Smith, was also tagged in the post. In the comments, Del Rey added, “Thank you Judah for always uplifting me.”

While Del Rey’s one-year anniversary isn’t until next month, the post marks the first time she has publicly acknowledged the September 26, 2024, wedding. The pair obtained a marriage license just three days before the ceremony, which was held in the very bayou where Dufrene operates his swamp boat tours. It’s also the same place they first met.

According to a source who spoke to People at the time, the ceremony was deeply personal: “The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boat tours. It’s a special place for them. It was a beautiful, relaxed and family-focused wedding. The focus was just on their love story.”

The timeline of Del Rey and Dufrene’s relationship has consistently remained somewhat enigmatic. In 2019, she initially shared a post about him, highlighting his connections to Louisiana. However, it was not until August 2024, when a Reddit user captured an image of the couple dining in London, that the romance speculation truly began
