Before I packed up my ceremony book, I paused to capture this sweet keepsake from Gloria & Stephen’s wedding at the beautiful Butler Fountain. Their custom fan came in clutch on a warm New Orleans day and now lives on as one of my favorite little mementos.
Grateful to team up with my dear friend —photographer, planner, and vision-bringer. Marcia captures the love, I conduct it. Together? We make magic. ✨ …I love collecting little mementos from my couples’ weddings. They may be small, but they hold big memories.

11 years ago, this little dream was just me, a camera, and a wild idea:💡

What if we made weddings feel different?
What if we threw out the rulebook, chased the light, and helped couples say “yes” to something real, personal, and deeply fun?

Fast forward to today - and somehow, this dream has grown into something even more beautiful than I imagined.

I’ve walked through this city with hundreds of couples… from foggy mornings on the river to golden light pouring through the French Quarter. And now, my daughter Krislyn is right beside me - capturing moments, fluffing gowns, fixing veils and feeling all the feels right along with you.

She’s brought fresh eyes, a giant heart, and the same fire for storytelling I’ve always had. We’ve shared so many sweet, hilarious, and holy-sh*t-that-just-happened memories together — all because of you.

To our past couples: thank you for letting us in.
To our future couples: we can’t wait to meet you.
To everyone who’s been part of this ride: we’re so grateful!

Here’s to 11 years of love, laughter, and letting the good times roll.

Color vs. Black & White — Same moment, different magic! ✨

We thought it’d be fun to show you a side-by-side of how we each see and capture the same moment — one in vibrant color, the other in timeless black and white!

It’s a beautiful reminder that every love story can be told in so many ways — and that’s what makes what we do so special.

October 2025? Gone. Every last spot. 🎃✨

We only take 6 elopements a month—because quality >quantity.

And heads up: we don’t work in August. At all. Not even if you beg to melt in the New Orleans heat. That’s our month for R&R, sno-balls, and hopefully a pool day... every day.

To our amazing couples who’ve already locked in their date: THANK YOU. We’re counting down the days to celebrate with you!

Thinking about eloping? Now’s the time to move. Dates are already flying—and I’d hate for you to miss out just because you waited.

So don’t wait.
Call me, text me, send a second line my way—just get in touch and let’s make your New Orleans elopement happen.
