Despite having been asked to do weddings in the past, I never got into wedding photography until I decided to do small and destination weddings only. I want to keep complete creative control over my work in order to provide my clients with keepsakes that represent my vision—and your vision— in each shot. Hiring second shooters and editors wouldn’t allow me to do that. I also wanted to stay small equipment-wise. With a Nikon and two or three lenses, keeping light allows me to move around and get all the shots I need. I realized there’s a market for specializing in smaller shoots, especially in New Orleans — a mecca for destination weddings. After shooting my first small wedding in 2017, I fell in love with providing couples with quality photographs of the most special day in their lives.
I work with couples looking to have a small wedding party (under 100 guests) and/or a small, destination wedding anywhere in the New Orleans area. I’m also available to travel outside the GNO area for an additional fee. Quotes start at $950 for a small ceremony and reception that includes around 250 edited photos in an online/downloadable gallery, copyright release to print, travel time in the New Orleans area, etc. However, I try to work with each couple individually to determine how many photos they want edited, photo formats, prints or no prints, how many total hours I’ll be working, locations, etc. Due to these factors, the cost for each wedding is different and calculated using an hourly rate. A much smaller wedding with less shooting time may be less than the standard $975, or a package with an extended bridal session and long reception may be more. I'll do everything I can to cater to your vision and work within your budget. I’d love to chat with you to get started on a personalized quote!
