So, you are thinking about having a destination wedding in New Orleans.  I highly highly recommend it.  I went recently for a content shoot with an amazing group of creatives.  We saw so many parts of the city and got to photograph in several of them.  New Orleans truly is a magical city.  From some of the best food and drinks I have ever had, to just amazing architecture everywhere you look.  New Orleans seems like the perfect place to elope or have a large wedding.

City Park is where our first shoot took place and it is a magical place.  So many trees and beauty all around.  We also had a shoot in an alley on Bourbon Street.  The other locations were the Marigny Opera House, Hotel Peter and Paul, and the Frenchmen Hotel.  There are literally an unbelievable amount of cool places to choose from.

Your typical New Orleans wedding is a church ceremony with a 2nd line afterwards.  But really the sky is the limit there.  I loved it so much and would love to go back to photograph more weddings.  It has been on my vision board for quite awhile.

If you find a photographer that you love, why not hire them to travel out and shoot your wedding for you.  Often times couples feel that they can only choose from locals to shoot their weddings.  I know that me, along with so many others, really enjoy traveling for destination weddings.  While a local may be more familiar with an area, there is also something to be said about a photographer getting to shoot in a new location for the first time.  I love my city and where I photograph, but I equally love to stretch my creative juices and go to new places and have new experiences.

Don’t let location dictate where you get your photographer from if you can’t find the perfect fit, or you have found the perfect fit but they live far away.

The amazing vendors who made all of the above happen. (All images photographed by me)
