​Hey y'all! My name is Natalie and photography is one of my greatest passions. I love candids, framing, natural light, and nature. I strive to capture your love, joy, and journeys as artistically and uncomplicated as possible. I provide guidance and encouragement when necessary, but also direct you into authentic moments.

Natalie made us feel at ease from the second we met her with her positivity and energy. We were so nervous we weren't going to get the photos we wanted at our location, but Natalie led the way and made it happen! She was a complete joy to work with and have by our side on our day. The finished photos are everything we could have hoped for—she captured our special day and our vibe perfectly, and we will treasure the photos forever.

Sidney Donaldson Photography

New Orleans, LA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $500

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!

Stephen Lomonaco Photography 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hi! I didn't realize it at first, but photography has always been a meaningful part of my life. I often admired my dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in the house, and when my mom would share boxes of photos, I couldn't help but feel wonder while turning each page. 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 to be remembered and retold in the future. 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 working with others, and eager to help tell your story.

Stephen was so lovely and accommodating, helping us make our short-notice elopement extra special and romantic. We were instantly so comfortable with him, and his ease and familiarity with the city made him the perfect scout for great images. We love the pictures -- they totally captured our vibe -- and spending time with Stephen felt like hanging with a fun friend. Everything you could want!

XO Quinntographer

New Orleans, LA
  • Photojournalistic style

Hey there! My name is Quinn, and I am Fine Art Wedding Photographer. I am an artist, a mother, a friend, a world traveler, and by divine law, genetics or fate, a photographer. Coming from a family of photographers (4 generations and counting), I've learned that documentation is a necessity in life. Without it, how else would we remember those fleeting, timeless moments? With this foundation and the constant inspiration around me, I started XO Quinntographer, a visually stimulating wedding documentary service that explores all of the aspects of photojournalism, and capturing everything worth celebrating: love, family, friendship and art.

Wow. These are so amazing. Words can't even close to describing how happy we are with our engagement photos. You absolutely captured everything that we wanted in the location and the shots. I really can't say enough about how happy we are with these. You have a wonderful eye for colors, lighting, and shot selections. I can't thank you enough. We will definitely be cherishing your work and these pictures for a very long time.

Willow's World Photo 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,850

Though weddings do involve countless grand traditions, these time-honored rituals share space with some of the most quirky, silly, touching, and profoundly, uniquely personal experiences that a family will ever share. As a photojournalist, I'm there to capture these moments - all of the things that make your wedding YOUR wedding. Some of the details are elegant...some are fun...some might just be flat-out strange. But they're all a part of what makes you, your relationship, and your wedding unique. You put a lot of work into making your wedding a true reflection of your personality. 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! She’s very thorough and accommodating, and I got them back super fast compared to what I was expecting. Overall incredible experience, I recommend her to everyone I know!

Gris Gris Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves New Orleans, LA

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 husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well.
