Featured New Orleans Weddings
Real weddings, real timelines, real moments
This page highlights a curated collection of real New Orleans weddings I’ve photographed—each one different in style, pace, and personality, but all documented with the same focus on natural skin tones, thoughtful lighting, and honest storytelling.
Rather than styled shoots or highlight-only galleries, these weddings reflect how a full day actually unfolds: preparation, ceremony, portraits, celebration, and the moments in between.
What You’ll See Here
-
Weddings across New Orleans neighborhoods and venues
-
A range of lighting conditions, from outdoor courtyards to evening receptions
-
Cultural traditions like second lines, live brass bands, and sparkler exits
-
Portraits that feel natural, not forced
Each gallery links to a full blog post with planning notes, venue context, and a complete visual story.
Available for Publication (Online + Print)
Real weddings are available for editorial consideration for online and print features. All imagery and details for publication are available directly on this page for review.
