What’s Included
What an Engagement Session Should Feel Like
Engagement photos are the best way for you and your photographer to get comfortable together before the wedding day—plus you’ll have polished images for save-the-dates, announcements, and your wedding portfolio. My approach blends natural movement with clean, flattering direction so your gallery feels real, romantic, and unmistakably New Orleans.

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 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.

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 session gives you time to settle in, get comfortable, and create real variety.
