What’s Included
What an Engagement Session Should Feel Like
Engagement photos are a great way for you and your photographer to get comfortable working together before the wedding day. You’ll also have polished images for save-the-dates, announcements, your wedding website, guest book, prints, and personal keepsakes.
My approach blends natural movement with clean, flattering direction so your gallery feels relaxed, polished, and connected to New Orleans without looking overly staged.

Testimonials
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.
For a vibrant, natural look, late afternoon is usually best, especially close to golden hour. Morning can also work well if you want fewer crowds, especially in the French Quarter.
I’ll recommend the best start time based on your location, the season, lighting, and how busy the area is likely to be.

Best New Orleans Engagement Photo Locations
Choosing the right location makes the session feel more personal and easier to plan. I’ll help you narrow the options based on light, crowds, walking distance, privacy, and the kind of background 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.


A 3-hour engagement session gives you time to settle in, get comfortable, and create real variety without feeling rushed.
