Second Line Photography

New Orleans, LA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,300

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!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200

My dream for Nola Darlings Photography is to create a safe and inclusive space for all people. No matter who you love, how you love, or what you look like you deserve to have amazing photos. Let’s face it, a lot of what we see out there just isn’t relatable. The vibe might seem very relaxed but I’ve been behind the camera (professionally) for over 10 years and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography. I was being published in magazines in Orlando before I graduated from college. I just like to use everything I’ve learned over those many years to make it feel incredibly easy and even fun, yes fun, for my clients.

“Nola Darlings Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Ash was always friendly, relaxed, and completely professional. She made me feel comfortable in front of a camera, which isn’t easy! On the day of the wedding, Ash seamlessly guided us through all the photo moments, providing just the right amount of direction to ensure we looked our best without ever feeling overly posed or staged. The final photos were absolutely stunning - high quality, vibrant, and captured all the special moments of our day. We couldn't be happier with the value and speed of her work. Nola Darlings Photography truly helped make our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team!”

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.”

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I would give Linka 20 stars if I could. She is incredibly talented and the entire process was so smooth. I originally saw some of her photos while researching elopement locations on Reddit. New Orleans had been on our list and the photos sealed the deal! She responded to me right away and scheduled a phone call to see if we were a good fit. She also sent us questions to answer about us as a couple, what we were comfortable with, and what exactly we wanted out of our day. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Linka and Eyoel had us walk around the neighborhood after our ceremony and got so many cool shots that we never would have thought of. We couldn’t have asked for better pictures of our elopement! Also, she’s really, really cool.”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Stephen Lomonaco Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Stephen was fast to respond, easy to understand, and offered very affordable rates. He had a super chill vibe that instantly put us at ease. The quality of his work was beyond exceptional and the photos he delivered captured all the special moments and memories of our big day, and he even went above and beyond our shot list to deliver amazing shots we didn't even know we wanted. Stephen was so wonderful that our whole family and all our guests absolutely fell in love with him. He handled everything with such grace and professionalism, which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the photos and the experience of working with Stephen Lomonaco Photography!”

Matthew Foster is a passionate, creative wedding photographer based in New Orleans, Louisiana. His documentary style photography distills the joy, emotion, and unique flavor of your most important moments.

“Newlywed here! If you’re looking for editorial-style wedding photography filled with candid moments, glamorous portraits, and raw, genuine emotion, Matthew Foster Photography is truly UNMATCHED. I honestly don’t know how to put into words how grateful and blown away we are by Matt and Liz. Having them as our wedding photographers was one of the very best decisions we made. They are not just photographers — they are true artists, with an incredible level of experience, an unmatched eye for detail, and the ability to capture moments in a way that feels cinematic, emotional, and deeply authentic. My husband, Jon, and I first discovered Matt through Instagram, and the moment we saw his work, our jaws dropped. From our very first phone call, Matt was a breath of fresh air — confident in his work without ever feeling arrogant or off-putting. He was genuinely excited to learn about us and our vision, listened carefully, and made us feel completely at ease. Both of us knew immediately that he was the right photographer for us. We met Matt in person for our engagement session about eight months before the wedding, and he was just as amazing in person as we had hoped. He was warm, calm, and reassuring, guiding us effortlessly through photos while making everything feel natural and unforced. That session built a level of trust that carried all the way through our wedding day — we fully trusted every location, movement, and moment he directed. On the wedding day, we finally met Liz — and wow. She is so incredibly sweet and brought her absolute A-game. Together, Matt and Liz are the definition of a dream team – and so much fun to work with!! They captured so many tender, emotional moments throughout the entire day with such intention and artistry. Every detail mattered. They were always present, even when you didn’t notice them, and everything felt organic and effortless — even the posed portraits. When Matt posted our wedding teasers on Instagram, I couldn’t contain my excitement and almost peed my pants LOL j/k! I knew our photos would be beautiful, but they completely blew us away. The images are striking, moody, emotional, and energetic — with an undeniable glam factor — perfectly capturing the atmosphere and heart of our day. Our wedding photos tell a story so vividly that we are instantly transported back every time we look at them. We can relive the emotions, the moments, and the magic all over again. We are endlessly thankful for what Matt and Liz created for us and for the role they played in our wedding story — and somewhere along the way, Matt and Liz became more than just our photographers; they became friends. If you want photographs that don’t just document your day but move you, stop your heart, and last a lifetime, Matt and Liz are truly unparalleled.”

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. I have this superpower that helps everyone feel comfortable getting photographed, and I capture things just as they are. Years in the service industry carved a work ethic out of easy connections; I love to meet and work with new people. Planners, lovers, dreamers, welcome to the fold.

“Stephanie Tarrant Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the very first interaction, Steph's friendly, understanding, and patient demeanor put a smile on our faces. Her gregarious nature helped bring everyone together, even those who didn't know each other well. She has a fun, open personality that made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and in general. Steph's work is truly captivating - her cinematic style captured all the beautiful, special moments of our day in a way that far exceeded our expectations and keeps us coming back to her. Steph was there from start to finish, seamlessly blending in to join in on the fun. She was amazing with our 5-year-old nephew, getting him to smile and engage with the process. Both for our elopement and our larger religious ceremony, we were ecstatic to have Steph as our photographer. We couldn't be happier with the memories Stephanie Tarrant Photo has provided us with and I will never call anyone else for our special moments.”

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.”

New Aera Wedding Photography

New Orleans, LA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500

New Aera is a New Orleans wedding photography studio led by me, Whit Forrester. I believe we are buds on a branch that's been growing for billions of years. Wedding photos are documents of the moment that two branches on the tree of life decided to grow together. With a documentary and editorial eye, I capture the candid, unscripted moments alongside the beautifully composed ones. From intimate French Quarter elopements to grand celebrations, in New Orleans or abroad, I bring artistry and genuine care to every wedding.

“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!”

What you see is what you get. No fancy job titles, no big company, no outsourcing editing. My approach is always to capture the authenticity of the story unfolding before me. From the brief glimpse of a tear in a groom's eye as his bride walks down the aisle, the split-second stillness of a toddler, or the tender moments between a new husband and wife. I strive to create images that tell stories. Images that age like fine wine and make you feel exactly how you felt on your wedding day. It's about the little moments, the ones that happen in-between, it's about the connection, the laughs, the tears….it’s what makes your story…yours.

“I would choose Marquez photos again and again! We absolutely loved both our engagement photo session and our wedding day photos which were included in one single package (he has different options to suit your preferences). He is down to earth, and full of talent. HIGHLYYYY recommend!”

Hi, I'm Kayla, a Louisiana Photographer that will travel anywhere! I introduced myself to photography by taking a trip to Israel in college I was selected to attend. I purchased a cheap camera for the trip, came home and was suggested to start taking photos. Well, after telling myself no, here I am! I love meeting new people and getting creative with a camera in my hands. Photography just so happened to fall into my lap God. I am also a college graduate from University of Louisiana at Lafayette with bachelors degree in finance. I know, way off from Photography, lol! I’ve now been photographing for 7 years. I love, LOVE on camera!

“Kayla Lazard Photography is an incredible wedding photographer that I would highly recommend to any couple. From the moment we first spoke, Kayla's open communication style and ability to really listen and guide us made us feel so at ease. She has an incredible talent for bringing visions to life, and the quality of her work is truly top-tier. In fact, her photography is so amazing that I think she should be shooting with celebrities and at all the red carpet events! After seeing my engagement photos, my bridesmaids underestimated her work by believing she was a white girl…they were even waiting in anticipation to see Kayla's work from my wedding day. And she did not disappoint - Kayla kept me calm and composed throughout the day, never forcing me to pose in any way just to get the job done. You can tell she puts so much love, thought, and artistry into every image. Kayla also has great rapport with the other vendors, ensuring we were all working together seamlessly as one team. I would highly recommend booking Kayla Lazard Photography as soon as possible - she is in very high demand, so be sure to reserve her for your wedding day, engagement session, and any other photography needs all at once to ensure you don't miss out. She is truly the dopest!”

My name's Traven and I'm a New Orleans wedding photographer. I've been shooting photos ever since I was old enough to grab my mother's old film camera, one I still shoot with today. While we all love a beautiful portrait to memorialize our friends and family being together, I find the real beauty in a wedding is the sense of celebration. Capturing you and your loved ones having a great time drinking, laughing, and twerking are my favorite things to capture. I have, much like my mom's old pictures, always had a very documentary style to all of my work, professional and personal.

“We had an incredible experience with Gris Gris and are so happy with how our pictures turned out. He was timely, communicative, and organized and understood our style and vision perfectly. We found Gris Gris through the knot (rather than friend recommendations), so we asked a trusted photographer friend to look through his portfolio. She responded that we should book him right away, and we are so glad that we did! They have a variety of packages to choose from, so their structure works for any type of event. Ahead of the wedding, Gris Gris helped us establish the best timeline for our ceremony based on sunset, and had an excellent set of planning templates to make sure everything went smoothly the day of. We did a quick round of portraits before the ceremony and asked for lots of documentary-style photos during the ceremony and reception. The lighting and exposure were just what we wanted for the finished look. Gris Gris was super accommodating of the shots we wanted, flexible with our atypical ceremony, and were just all-around pleasant to work and spend the evening with. We got preview images within a couple of days and a clear timeline for the full batch of edited images. We could go on forever, but in summary, we would wholeheartedly recommend Gris Gris for a wedding or any other event. Thank you so much!”

My job is to do the exact same thing for your photos.

“I had a very small elopement ceremony in City Park and by small, I mean six people in total including the officiant and photographer. None of which had much experience in weddings, save for Willow, who became the impromptu director, patiently explaining to us the set ups for each of the photos and walked us through the majority of the ceremony. She’s incredibly sweet, kind, and funny and made the whole experience very fun and easy! She knew the best places to get great shots and my photos turned out so incredibly beautiful. Her editing style is impeccable and she goes above and bring to make sure you’re happy with every aspect of your photos!

Not only was he punctual and extremely professional, he was so much fun to work with and has a great eye that allows him to orchestrate and capture magical moments. The final photos were high-quality and delivered in a reasonable time-frame. I have zero complaints and highly recommend!”

I love weddings because they are rich with life. I view photography as a form of story telling, and my photos document the narrative of your day. I think being present in life is extremely important for fulfillment. I want my clients to be completely in the moment, not taken out of it to focus on a pose. Your job is to enjoy your wedding, my job is to capture ALL of it.

“From our first conversation, we knew Katie Figura Photography was the right choice for us. Katie's direct and thoughtful approach made planning easy, and she stayed responsive throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she had a gift for capturing genuine moments, the photos feel natural and perfectly reflect how our day actually unfolded. She was incredibly patient with our family and friends, which meant everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera. We got sneak peeks back quickly, and the final images exceeded what we imagined. Katie's attention to detail and collaborative style made our wedding day feel special from start to finish.”

Hey, I’m Audie! No not like the car lol but pronounced like Audience…just drop the '“nce” If you are wondering who is behind the camera, you came to the right place. Obviously the “About Me” section is nearly impossible for me to sum up who I am, but here are a few things you should know. I love traveling! I have had a travel bug that needed an itch for quite some time now. Traveling has always been a passion of mine. My parents think I ought to slow it down a bit, but hey You Only Live Once right? I recently traveled to Bali this past January. I can tell you all about it at our next session ;)

“Audie as absolutely Perfect! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease on such a overwhelming day. The photos are stunning. We highly recommend Audie J to anyone looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer who is both talented and professional."”

I love to have a camera in my hands and I think it shows in my work. I love everything about my city and picking this profession I get to be engulfed in it every weekend. The best part of having this business is starting a wedding with a client and by the time the process is over I gained another friend. I am very easygoing and laid back since the beginning I have always rolled with the punches. And every wedding without fault I make a friend either in the bridal party or a guest at the wedding.
