Wedding Photographer in Alexandria, LA

Alexandria and Cenla couples' questions answered directly.

Bayou Haven Weddings and Events on Twin Bridges Road is one of the Alexandria area's most visually distinctive venues — a property that draws on the bayou and waterway character specific to Central Louisiana, with cypress and Spanish-moss surroundings that place it firmly in Louisiana's natural landscape. The Melady House on England Drive is an estate property with the formal residential character typical of Alexandria's more traditional wedding venues.

Magnolia Bend in Pineville on the Red River's north bank brings a magnolia-shaded estate setting with views across the river — the Red River itself provides a photographic context that's distinctive to this part of Louisiana. The Josephine Weddings & Events on LA-28 in Pineville offers a purpose-built wedding venue with the infrastructure to handle the full range of Alexandria-area weddings.

Toupon Lodge in Deville provides a natural outdoor setting further south of the city, while Randolph Riverfront Center on Second Street in downtown Alexandria gives couples a riverside location with convention infrastructure for larger events.

Alexandria is Louisiana's geographic center — equidistant from Baton Rouge and Shreveport, and about three hours from New Orleans. Couples from across Central Louisiana often choose Alexandria venues for their central accessibility. The Red River runs through the city from north to south, and the pine hills of Kisatchie National Forest begin a few miles to the north and east — a distinctly Central Louisiana landscape that differs from the coastal prairies of the south and the Mississippi River bluffs of the east.

We cover Alexandria weddings from getting-ready through late reception, typically eight to ten hours. The October through April window is the most comfortable for outdoor weddings in Central Louisiana — the pine hills show color in November and the spring dogwood bloom from March through April is beautiful in the upland areas north of the city.
