Wedding Photographer in New Orleans, LA

Questions New Orleans couples ask most often — answered directly.

Southern Oaks on Lincoln Beach Boulevard is one of New Orleans's most distinctive large-scale wedding venues — a sprawling property with multiple ceremony and reception sites, live oak landscape, and the natural character of the New Orleans East lakeshore area. Paradigm Gardens on South Rampart Street in the Warehouse District brings a garden venue into the urban heart of the city — courtyard plantings and the Rampart Street setting create an unusually layered setting.

The Elms Mansion on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District is one of New Orleans's most formally magnificent wedding properties — a Neoclassical mansion on the streetcar line with interior rooms of exceptional architectural beauty and garden grounds that photograph with immediate elegance. House of Broel on St. Charles Avenue provides a similar formal mansion setting with a distinctive dollhouse collection and period character.

The Jaxson on the River on Decatur Street in the French Quarter puts the Mississippi River and the city skyline into the ceremony and portrait frame simultaneously. Margaret Place on Margaret Place in Uptown and The Chicory on South Peters Street in the Warehouse District round out the range of settings from intimate residential to converted industrial.

New Orleans weddings often run longer than weddings in other cities — the cultural tradition of multi-hour receptions, second-line processions, and the general understanding that a New Orleans event doesn't end on time means that ten to twelve hours of coverage is common. We build our full-day rate around that expectation rather than treating extra hours as an unexpected add-on.

New Orleans's heat and humidity are real factors for outdoor ceremony planning — spring (March to May) and fall (October to November) are the most comfortable seasons, while summer outdoor events require late-evening scheduling. The city's parade and festival calendar, the Jazz Fest and French Quarter Festival in spring, and the Mardi Gras season from Twelfth Night through Fat Tuesday all create periods of intense city activity that affect venue availability and hotel booking.
