New Orleans, LA

I've been shooting weddings for almost 10 years now and love every single one. The love, the joining of 2 people, and the fun of having everyone together. I strive to have every single important moment captured to remember for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew from the start that our wedding would be a small, intimate affair, and we wanted a photographer who could capture the special moments without being intrusive. Sidney was absolutely perfect! Communication was a breeze. Sidney was always responsive, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. He arrived early arrived and with an assistant and both blended seamlessly into the background. They captured candid moments of our family and friends, as well as some beautiful posed portraits. We received the sneek peak very quickly and the only "hard part" is picking from all the many photos to move on to the final gallery!

I’m still in awe when I look at our wedding pictures. They truly managed to capture the emotion of the day, from the nervous smiles before the ceremony to the crazy dance floor at the end of the night. The colors are vivid but still natural, which is exactly what I wanted. The video is so beautifully done that my best friend said it looked like a professional short film. They really understood the flow of the day and positioned themselves so well without being in the way. Communication was always clear, and they were incredibly reliable. I never felt stressed about the photos once they were in charge. They even sent us a few preview shots the next day, which was such a nice touch. Everything about the service exceeded my expectations.

Hi, I’m Natalie, the photographer behind EyeLuster Photography. I’m a New Orleans wedding and portrait photographer focused on natural, polished images with a relaxed and fun experience. With over 10 years of experience photographing weddings, families, and events across the country, I bring a calm, organized approach that helps couples feel comfortable and present on their wedding day.

Working with Natalie at Eye Luster Photography was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure everything felt easy, organized, and genuinely fun instead of stressful. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about capturing the day in a way that felt authentic to us. What impressed me most was how present she was without ever being intrusive. She somehow managed to anticipate moments before they happened and capture them beautifully. Most of my favorite photos from the entire day are candid moments I didn’t even realize she was photographing—quiet laughs with friends, my family reacting during the ceremony, little in-between moments that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Those photos ended up framed in our living room because they feel so real. She also made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Even guests commented on how kind and professional she was throughout the day. It felt like she truly cared about telling the story of our wedding, not just checking off a list of poses. When we received our photos, we were blown away. The gallery perfectly captured the energy, emotion, and joy of the day. Looking through them felt like reliving the whole experience. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and truly invested in her clients, I cannot recommend her enough.

What some of you may or may not know is that I have two superpowers. During the day, I teach middle school English Language Arts. In the evenings, I turn sugar & flour into sensational works of delicious, edible art. I've been teaching for 11+ years and baking for over 40 years. ​ Both are my passions. As much joy as I get out of teaching, baking is the icing on the cake! About 11 years ago, I turned my hobby baking into a "side hustle" that grew into a thriving business. The journey has been filled with many sweet successes. I look forward to meeting with you and becoming a part of your beautiful story.

Brandon Thorn and Adam at Crimson Quarter Weddings went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless! One of the things that I loved right away about Brandon when I first spoke with him was his authenticity, friendliness and sense of humor. I knew immediately that he was a genuine person who really cared about getting to know me and my fiancé. As a result, we became friends pretty quickly and got to know a lot about each other beyond wedding planning-related tasks. I so appreciated this because it meant that I felt like I had an ally to help me navigate the wedding planning process. Brandon will truly support you and go to bat for you if there is a communication issue or conflict of interest with another vendor or venue. I learned as a bride that it is really important to have someone like Brandon who is there 100% looking out for your best interests. I also appreciated that while I hired Brandon as my Day-of-Coordinator, he did way more than just day-of coordinating duties, including attending meetings with my venue several months in advance. He also always answered my texts and emails quickly and communicated with me frequently. This made me feel secure knowing that Brandon really cared about me! On the day of the event, we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain, and Brandon and Adam worked hard to still ensure that the décor and other elements for the ceremony were still set up to look beautiful inside. They also worked with the venue to make some changes to the furniture layout in order to still ensure that the space was set up to make us and our guests have the best experience possible. They also did an outstanding job taking down the décor and cleaning up so that my new husband and I could enjoy our second line and afterparty without having to worry about going back to the venue to clean up. When we returned to our hotel room much later that night, all of our items, including personal items that we had left in the venue space, were all returned to us and neatly stored in our room. We really felt taken care of the entire time. On top of all of this, I really felt like the fee we paid Brandon was an excellent value for the service that we received. I compared Brandon's pricing to other Day-of Coordinators in the New Orleans area, and I can say with certainty that his prices are better that most of the competition, especially for the level of service that you will receive! I would 100% recommend Crimson Quarter Weddings to any bride, groom or individual wishing to host a party/event in the New Orleans or broader Louisiana and Mississippi area!

Photography has always been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's photographs hung in my bathroom as a small child, and I often admired them. When my mom would pull down old boxes of photos, I was struck by awe with every flip. By the time I was in high school, I always had a disposable in my pocket. It was so exciting to snap those brief moments. Although I have decades of experience behind the lens, it was not until 2020 that I officially opened by business as a freelancer. I love getting to know others, and am eager to help tell your story.

We loved their energy and vibe when researching bands and immediately hired them after watching their videos. Rob, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with—professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. Sunny Side even learned and performed our first dance song, which they had never played before, and it was perfect. Our guests raved about the lively New Orleans jazz music, feeling like they were at a private concert.

Hi, I’m Hannah. I’m a lover of art, stories, and spark—the perfect alchemy to creating and capturing all those memory-making, magical moments. Weddings, to me, are about your unique narrative, your origin stories and your threads of connection; the ways in which you’ve woven a love through a tapestry of compassion and inspiration and all that makes you you— both as individuals and as a couple. That’s the fabric of the photo, the material I like to work with; because of this, my photos lean atmospheric and candid.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Hannah was so easy, and the photos from our wedding were exactly what I wanted. I really wanted to maximize the amount of time I spent enjoying my wedding and guests, and Hannah's style was perfect for this – we got our posed portraits done quickly, and the rest of the time she was able to capture what was actually taking place at the wedding. In terms of pre-wedding prep, we met once before I signed the contract and then again about a month before the wedding to nail down details. Hannah was very communicative throughout the whole process, and she turned around 25 beautiful pictures within a week of the wedding for us to share around. I just got 200 more pictures back, and they are stunning. Hannah is such a talent, and I highly recommend her.

Absolutely unforgettable experience. We organized a second line parade in New Orleans to celebrate my 50th birthday, and it was hands-down one of the best celebrations of my life. Huge shoutout to Abby Bostic, who organized everything flawlessly. The band was incredible, the stilt walker and juggler were such fun surprises, and even the police escort felt special — it truly felt like the ultimate New Orleans experience. Every detail was handled perfectly. And the passserbys in town even joined in the parade. My girlfriends were completely surprised (which made it even better), and everyone had an amazing time.

Reverie & Riot is a celebration design and wedding production house for couples who understand that extraordinary experiences are never accidental. Known for immersive environments, disciplined logistics, and an editorial design perspective, our work extends far beyond traditional planning. We shape atmosphere, guide the guest experience, and orchestrate each moving part with clarity and intention. Accepting a limited number of celebrations each year allows us to deliver thoughtful leadership and a deeply personalized approach — because a wedding of consequence deserves nothing less.

We initially tried planning our wedding from out of state and quickly realized how challenging it can be to get real momentum without the right local support. Vendors were slow to respond, communication felt inconsistent, and even getting the planning process started became incredibly frustrating. What we thought would be manageable on our own soon felt overwhelming. Bringing Reverie & Riot on board changed everything. The value alone sets them apart — every detail felt intentional, elevated, and worth far more than what we invested. Brandon and Adam are an exceptional team whose professionalism and clarity immediately put us at ease. Their communication is prompt, their guidance is strategic, and their creativity is unmatched. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly, turning what had been a stressful experience into an exciting one. You can tell they are deeply passionate about their work and committed to creating celebrations that feel authentic rather than formulaic. If you are looking for a team that will advocate for your vision, keep the process organized, and deliver remarkable results, Reverie & Riot is it. Outstanding people, outstanding service, and truly great value. Highly recommend.

Sydney did such a great job and helped make our wedding day as stress-free as possible. We've often heard from friends that they never got to enjoy their big day and chat with guests, eat their food, or dance. From the day we started working with her, Sydney was determined to make sure that was not the case for us. She helped us develop a timeline that maximized our time with guests and on the dance floor, while still allowing us to have time to ourselves. Sydney helped manage all of the big personalities in our family, which was not an easy task, and made sure that our vision for the day was always top priority.

New Aera Wedding Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
New Orleans, LA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500

New Aera is a New Orleans wedding photography studio led by Whit Forrester. We believe wedding photos are heirlooms — archives of the people you love, preserved for generations. With a documentary and editorial eye, we capture the candid, unscripted moments alongside the beautifully composed ones. From intimate French Quarter elopements to grand celebrations, we bring artistry and genuine care to every wedding. Our couples return to their galleries for years, sharing images that go on to other altars, other ceremonies, other lives.

As someone with a photography background, I think the photos are one of the most important parts of a wedding. As someone who is admittedly hard-to-please, I was really nervous that no one would be able to live up to my expectations, but Whit at New Aera did an incredible job! I normally hate the way I look in pictures, but Whit managed to capture the exact moments and angles that made me (and everyone else) look amazing. He has a great sense of composition and lighting, and his style is very editorial/documentary, which I liked. He captured a lot of little moments before and after the wedding - like me putting on the cake-topper or my brother helping take the decorations down after the guests left - and didn't just focus on the "main event." I love that because those moments were kind of a blur at the time, but the pictures help me remember them just as vividly as the moment I said "I do." I can't recommend New Aera highly enough- they are amazing!
