Optional professional prints available to purchase through the gallery
What’s Included
Best New Orleans Engagement Photo locations
Choose the vibe that fits your story. I’ll help you narrow it down based on crowds, walking distance, and the look you want.
French Quarter (iconic + lively)
Balconies, courtyards, historic textures, and classic New Orleans character.
Garden District (romantic + refined)
Elegant architecture, oak-lined streets, and cleaner backgrounds—excellent for a timeless look.
City Park (nature + cinematic)
Open shade, dramatic oaks, and a relaxed pace—great for soft, flattering portraits.
Lakefront (sunset + modern)
Wide views and beautiful light near golden hour—ideal for airy, romantic images.
CBD / Downtown (modern + editorial)
Clean lines, urban energy, and skyline-inspired backdrops.
Audubon Park (natural + quiet)
Green, spacious, and calmer—great if you want a more private feel.
For the vibrant, authentic look you described, late afternoon is typically best—especially close to golden hour. Morning can also work well if you want fewer crowds (particularly in the French Quarter). I’ll recommend the ideal start time based on your chosen location and the season.

New Orleans
Outfit guidance (simple and effective)
You don’t need a huge wardrobe—just intentional choices.
With two outfit changes built in, you’ll get strong variety without overcomplicating the session:
-
Look 1: timeless and classic (clean + neutral)
-
Look 2: elevated or formal (dressier, sharper lines)
-
Optional: a playful look that fits New Orleans energy (color, movement)
Avoid heavy logos; coordinate tones instead of matching exactly.
A 3-hour session gives you time to settle in, get comfortable, and create real variety.
Typical flow:
-
Warm-up + easy prompts (5–10 minutes)
-
Location 1: candid movement + hero portraits
-
Outfit change + quick reset
-
Location 2: different vibe + tighter portraits + detail shots
-
A few “save-the-date” style frames to finish
Session flow
(so it feels easy)
If you’re planning a proposal in New Orleans, I can photograph it discreetly and then roll directly into a short engagement-style session right after—so you capture both the surprise moment and the portraits while the excitement is fresh.
