FAQ
1. How much does an engagement/proposal photographer cost in New Orleans?
My engagement and proposal sessions start at $400. Since I am based in Baton Rouge, a travel fee will be applied to sessions in New Orleans to cover travel time and expenses.
2. How far in advance should we book an engagement/proposal photographer in New Orleans?
It's best to book my engagement/proposal photography services about six months to a year in advance. If delayed, it is not guaranteed that your date will be available.
3. What is included in your enagagement/proposal photography packages?
Both packages include a one-hour session, 20 edited images with an option to purchase more, travel time and expenses to and from your location, and editing time. All final images are carefully edited and delivered through an online gallery, making it easy to download, share, and enjoy your photos for years to come. Proposal packages also include help with planning and logistics to keep the surprise, and then a mini engagement shoot after the proposal moment!
4. What is your engagement/proposal photography style?
I would describe my engagement/proposal photography style as primarily traditional, focusing on beautifully composed portraits of the couple. Alongside those classic portraits, I naturally incorporate candid moments throughout the session. This balance allows your gallery to feel both polished and authentic. My editing style stays true to color, with a light and airy touch in certain images depending on the overall vibe of your session. If you have a specific aesthetic in mind, I’m always happy to tailor my approach to match your vision.
5. Do you photograph engagements/proposals outside of Denham Springs?
Of course! While I am based in Baton Rouge, I offer my enagement/proposal photography services to the surrounding areas, including Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, and beyond!
