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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our 100 person wedding at Paradigm Gardens in April of 2024 was perfect. For starters, their Private Events Director Karen is unparalleled. Communication was clear and consistent from the very beginning, and we never felt like they were trying to upsell us. As two more laid-back brides, she made sure we didn't overlook any important details. If your food is the most important aspect of your wedding, stop reading this and call Paradigm Gardens to book now. Our budget was fairly limited, but Chef Pat over at Karibu Kitchen (Paradigm Gardens' Catering) made the most of every dollar we spent. The food and bar packages were, hands down, the best we encountered at any venue in New Orleans. We had so much fun designing our custom menu with Chef Pat, and the tasting at Tchoup yard was one of our favorite parts of the planning process. Our family and friends still tell us it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding. The team even went out of their way to make sure our bar included our favorite brand of pickle vodka shots which turned out to be one of the highlights of the night. The location in Central City was perfect. It allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner downtown, and also take our pre-ceremony pictures at Audubon Park without requiring much driving time to and from the venue. The lush garden was more than we could have asked for as a backdrop. We said our vows in a short ceremony then watched the sunset over cocktails and dinner. The jasmine was in full bloom which made for awesome photos. The goats were a big hit with our wedding guests and the outdoor kitchen acted as a sort of fiery centerpiece to the whole evening. We had a local DJ playing New Orleans bounce and spent the majority of the night on the dance floor under the string lights. Without a massive budget, we anticipated having to compromise on a lot of aspects to be able to afford a wedding in New Orleans, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. We will forever be grateful to the folks at Paradigm Gardens for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

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.

Natalie from Eyeluster Photography was incredibly professional, highly organized, and still flexible when it mattered most. With eight children in our wedding party, she remained patient and kind with each one, skillfully keeping them together for important photos while also capturing spontaneous moments of fun and silliness. She handled a number of unexpected challenges—like shifting timelines, a delayed bride, a longer-than-planned ceremony, and family members with limited mobility—with grace and patience. What truly stood out was her calm, friendly demeanor. Many of our guests noticed and commented on her professionalism and easygoing attitude.

I cannot say enough good things about Adam and his team. Not only was the food absolutely delicious (with multiple guests days later still saying how much they loved everything but especially the blue corn grits which are a must have in my opinion), but the team handled a little rain delay with no stress and it made the evening so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Adam was amazing about dietary restrictions, and provided delicious options for them as well that were not just an after thought. Any future NOLA events we will be running to this amazing team again!

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.

Working with Sensational Sugah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her communication style was easy, quick, and detailed, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work and value was exceptional, going above and beyond our expectations. Sensational Sugah took the time to get to know us, ensuring that the details were perfect for our special day. We opted into a tasting in advance, and the care she took in the preparation and presentation was truly remarkable. For our nearly 100 guests Sensational Sugah created our main cake (two cake flavors with a buttercream icing), a suprise carrot groom's cake, and two smaller dessert options that truly wowed our guests!

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!

Behind the camera, I am witnessing every detail that presents itself to me. I am a freelance photojournalist, second generation florist + floral preservationist and seasoned wedding photographer based in New Orleans.

Stephanie was a calming presence during such a busy day. She made time in her schedule to meet with us ahead of time so that she could get the best idea of what we were looking for and how to capture our love through her photos. She was so accommodating, knowledgeable, professional, and loving. I would recommend her to anyone getting married or anyone simply wanting to capture special moments.

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.

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.

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.

Brandon and Adam of Reverie & Riot are, without a doubt, the reason our wedding on April 4, 2026 was absolutely perfect. From start to finish, they created an experience that our guests are still talking about. SO many people told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I truly believe that’s a testament to their talent and execution. We had over 200 guests, what felt like a million vendors, and a full weekend of events and moving pieces. Somehow, Brandon and Adam handled it all with complete ease and professionalism. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, I didn’t have to think about anything other than getting down the aisle. One of the things we were most anxious about was the weather, especially with our second line. Not only did they have a thoughtful plan in place, but they also brought in beautiful vintage umbrellas that looked absolutely phenomenal in photos, even with the perfect weather we got lucky with. Every detail felt intentional and elevated. Brandon, Adam, and the entire Reverie & Riot team exceeded every expectation with their creativity, organization, and calm, confident presence throughout the entire process. I truly hope this is my only wedding but if I ever needed to do it again, I would hire Reverie & Riot in a heartbeat. They are simply the best.

New Orleans, LA
  • Beauty professional

Faces of Virtue Beauty Studio was founded by DeQuindra "Dee" Rouzan in 2006. Dee is a licensed cosmetologist who specializes in multi-cultural hair and makeup. Dee's passion for the beauty industry began long before her career. At the tender age of 12, Dee fell in love with the “beauty” of hair and makeup. From the intoxicating aroma of her favorite lipstick brand to the placement of the last hairpin, Dee is extremely passionate and an expert in the industry. Dee and her team specialize in delivering and executing luxury beauty enhancement experiences for you and your bridal party.

Dee from Faces of Virtue was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding. I specifically needed a hair and makeup artist experienced with curly hair and women of color, and my planner recommended Dee. From our very first conversation, she was warm, responsive, professional, calm, and genuinely hilarious - the perfect energy during the wedding planning process. My HMU trial blew me away. We wrapped at 1pm CT, I flew home to Los Angeles, and my makeup had not moved when 10pm PT rolled around. That’s when I knew I was in the best hands. On the wedding day, Dee brought two additional artists to take care of my mom and matron of honor. Dee focused on me while Maitee (and another lovely artist whose name we sadly didn’t catch) took incredible care of them. We had so much fun getting ready together, and by the end, we all looked, and felt, absolutely beautiful. For those who don’t know, Dee does the Saints’ cheerleaders makeup and travels the country teaching airbrush techniques. She has a deep well of experience and an incredible eye. I felt confident, radiant, and completely myself. I cannot recommend Dee and the Faces of Virtue team enough. If you want artistry, professionalism, and a genuinely joyful presence on your wedding day, book them!

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!

We had such a great experience working with Chapalaweddings! They were easy to communicate with, super professional, and really paid attention to all the little details that matter. We also got our photos and videos back pretty quickly, which we really appreciated. Everything turned out so natural and beautiful- exactly what we were hoping for. Definitely recommend!
