Named one of the 'Best Photographers in New Orleans'

wedding photographer for black weddings near me

Greetings! I'm Chad, a South Louisiana Wedding photographer and New Orleans videographer who also captures boudoir photo shoots, professional headshotsand real estate pictures. I'm a married father of two wonderful sons. I'm a lifelong New Orleanian now residing not far away in Gretna. I'm a Saints, Pelicans and LSU sports fan and enjoy spending time and laughing with my close friends.

 

Creating images has always been my hobby, from comic drawings and graffiti as a youth to graphics and web design as a young adult. Through those experiences, I became "technically proficient" at image and video editing and manipulating my equipment. It wasn't until 2016, after being repeatedly requested to capture events, that I seriously had the idea to pursue this as a career.  My hobby has now become my passion and a viable profession. Armed with a variety of high-quality gear, years of technical experience, my personal philosophy of creative simplicity, and a thirst for perfection paired with the guidance of my client's vision, I'm certain that we can find a direction that produces beautiful images.

​​

I am passionate about capturing the moments that matter most with a unique blend of photojournalistic and traditional shooting styles. This approach allows me to create images that are rich in authenticity and emotion. With extensive training across a variety of niches and styles, I integrate diverse techniques into every shoot, ensuring that each set of photographs has a broader, more dynamic appeal.

​​

I am dedicated to making sure each photo I take feels organic and genuine, conveying the real emotions of the moment. While posed and staged shots have their place and can be beautifully executed, I believe that the best images emerge naturally and spontaneously, capturing the true essence of the occasion. Whether it's the glimmer of excitement in a bride's eye, the spontaneous laughter at a family gathering, or the candid interactions during a corporate event, I strive to immortalize these fleeting moments in a way that feels both timeless and true.

​​

My goal is to tell your story through my lens, providing you with a collection of photos that resonates with the authenticity of your experiences. Let’s create something truly memorable together with images that speak from the heart and celebrate the beauty of genuine moments!

Photographs and videos capture the memories you will look back on and treasure your entire life. At Chad Populis Photography, I am proud to offer my clients a quality and affordable experience to tell their stories through images. I take pride in my commitment to personal service and attention to detail. Visit my PHOTOGRAPHY BOOKING page for various package rates.

I want you to have the photograph that defines a moment in time, the one that hangs on the wall forever – that’s the image I strive for. The beautiful details are the heartbeat of photography: I want your heart to skip a beat for decades to come. When I work with someone, I want to know them, learn about who they are. I want to know your love, what made you the person you are.

Working together, we’ll craft a vision that’s unique, and tells your story. Instead of just snapping some photos, we create something together that’s timeless, romantic, and captures the emotions as they happen. I’m striving to become one of the top photographers in New Orleans, and as a client, you'll have an integral part in that mission.

I shoot SONY! I exclusively shoot on Sony Full Frame E-mount mirrorless camera bodies. I feel this system has the most versatility with its ability to capture great video and stills in low light situations. Quality will never be an issue with system. Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Fujifilm all make great cameras and you cant go wrong choosing any system, but IMO, the Sony Cameras give me the most options.
