FAQ
1. How much does a wedding photographer cost in New Orleans, LA?
My wedding photography packages in New Orleans depend on the type of wedding you are having and how many hours of coverage you would want. Packages range from $400 for a one hour elopement, to $3,500 for an eight hour wedding day. However, since I am based in Baton Rouge, a travel fee will be applied to all New Orleans wedding packages.
2. How far in advance should we book a wedding photographer in New Orleans?
It's best to book my wedding 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 wedding photography packages?
What’s included depends on the wedding package you choose. Coverage ranges from shorter options, like one-hour sessions, up to full-day coverage of 8–10 hours to ensure your entire day is documented. All packages—except for one-hour sessions—include an unlimited number of professionally edited images, so you don’t have to worry about missing any important moments. My Gold Package includes both a bridal session and an engagement session, while the Silver Package includes your choice of either a bridal or engagement session, giving you flexibility based on your needs. 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.
4. What is your wedding photography style?
I would describe my wedding photography style as primarily traditional, focusing on beautifully composed portraits of the couple, bridal party, and family. This approach ensures we capture all the key moments in a timeless, clean, and true-to-life way. Alongside those classic portraits, I naturally incorporate candid moments throughout the day—often capturing genuine emotions and interactions you may not even realize are happening. 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 wedding day. If you have a specific aesthetic in mind, I’m always happy to tailor my approach to match your vision.
5. Do you photograph weddings outside of New Orleans?
Certainly! While I am based in Baton Rouge, I offer my wedding photography services to the surrounding areas, including Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, and beyond!
