How to Use These Wedding Galleries
These galleries can help you see how different New Orleans wedding days photograph in real conditions.
Use them to compare venue light, portrait locations, reception flow, second line coverage, and how much time certain parts of the day may need. If you are deciding between a first look, multiple portrait locations, or a tighter timeline, these examples can help make the planning process clearer.
If you see a venue, lighting setup, or timeline that feels close to your own wedding, send it over. I can walk you through what worked and how we can build a photo plan around your day.
