Hi y'all! The Zola Profile is new, but I've shot over 1400 weddings. Well over one hundred reviews on other platforms if you need testemonials! I live in New Orleans, so the bulk of my work is in South Louisiana, but I travel all over the world for weddings and leisure. You'll see that my editing style is very timeless. I do not go super dark, or super light and airy. You will also notice a lot of genuinely organic looks from my couples! I like to keep it fun!

We love Eye Wander! Aaron has done an amazing job capturing all of the major milestones of our life including our wedding. He and his team are professional and are also really fun to be around.

My 2023 wedding almost didn’t happen because California experienced the “storm of the century,” which closed down highways and caused major flooding and mudslides throughout the state. Despite being caught in the storm and stuck on the 5 Freeway for hours, Crist and his assistant made it to the venue on time and ready to roll. Crist ensured that everyone was in good spirits and made the most of the day. He was like a personal hype man! We loved his positivity and professionalism. We absolutely love our wedding photos and look back on our day with fond memories!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I’ve been doing photography since 2012. There has definitely been a lot of growth and sold cameras through out the years. I’m 100% self taught and I believe that shows in my work. I’m a learn by doing type person. I’m an introvert and somewhat reserved, but I can guarantee I will make some stupid joke that will make you laugh. I enjoy natural light and playing with the sun. I’m a big fan of the unconventional photos that most photographers say no to. I love love. It doesn’t matter who you are, who you love, I want to tell your love story.

Ringuette Photo Co. was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, CeCe and her team were friendly, always available, and incredibly engaging to work with. They had a personal touch that made us feel comfortable and excited about capturing our special day. The quality of their work was outstanding - reliable, with great attention to detail, and they were flexible in bringing our high-quality vision to life. CeCe made sure to capture all the small, meaningful moments, from our getting ready process to the rings and other personal touches. She beautifully documented the love and connection between my husband and I through her candid photos. We are so grateful to have worked with Ringuette Photo Co. and will definitely be recommending them to anyone getting married soon. We look forward to using them for future photography needs as well.

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama & Michigan, servicing multiple regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

***LONG REVIEW! Not Sorry! The photos I have of our day are far better than I could have imagined and Shelby was the best to work with. It is not just the amount or the quality of the photos you get with Shelby, but her customer service is above and beyond. She met with me in person 3 times to help settle my nerves and I couldn't have been more grateful. Shelby was so understanding and no vision I had was too outlandish or too much trouble. She communicated in a transparent, deliberate way, but was never pushy or disrespectful. I interviewed multiple photographers and truly, we just meshed well together. Shelby is unique and her sparkle really shines during the chaos, handling it like a BOSS! We had a military wedding and let me tell you, she handled it. I learned that she also only takes 3-4 weddings a month to really prioritize her clients and let me tell you, it shows so much! She got us sneak peaks within a week and the full gallery was delivered in 4 weeks. Look, I could have easily been classified as an "intense" bride and Shelby reassured me all day and reminded me that I was allowed to enjoy my day. Truly, I didn't just hire a photographer that day, I hired a trusted friend and we have already planned our 5 year anniversary photos in Italy with her. I know this review is a lot, but if you are looking for a photographer (that essentially has the 2nd MOST IMPORTANT role on your wedding day), that will give you more than a camera click and congratulations email, then SHELBY IS YOUR GIRL!!! Just talk to her! She shoots you straight and can help so much! Also, last thing, she respected our privacy. Our gallery was delivered via USB because we can't have personal photos of my husband on the internet. You will also not see them anywhere on her socials or website and they were not shared with other vendors, per our request. Yes, military family here. We trust her and you can too.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

We're Juliana & Brandon Polkey, full time digital and film wedding photographers based out of New Orleans, Louisiana! We have two kids, Eleanor and Colin. We've been photographing weddings for 10+ years and love every minute of it! When we're not working, we love traveling to any place that includes hiking, wine, and carbs!

We truly cannot say enough great things about Peony Photography!! I had met them through a bridal event and instantly fell in love with the style and quality of the pictures they had on display. We wanted pictures that captured our personalities and were filled with moments we could treasure for a lifetime. They took both our engagement photos (which involved climbing onto the roof of a building) and wedding photos (both my husband and I are terrible at posing for pictures) and could not be happier with what they were able to capture. They are easy to work with, very thorough, and willing to work with you to really make your vision come true! After the wedding ends, the pictures are really all you have to document the special moments of the night. And we could not be more thrilled that we chose Peony Photography to capture those memories for us.
