• New Orleans Wedding and Portrait Photography

    I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in southeast Louisiana. I photograph events throughout the New Orleans area, Baton Rouge, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

New Orleans French Quarter Courtyard Wedding at the St. Louis Hotel – Laura & Chris – 3/6/10

Laura and Chris were simply the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and work with.  Their wedding took place on a perfect evening in the beautiful courtyard of the St. Louis Hotel in the French Quarter.  Judge Mary “KK” Norman presided over the ceremony, and Rick from Decades Music provided the entertainment, both doing a fantastic job as always.

Renee Cobb - Beautiful photography Michael! I love this hotel. Just as you manage to get up to Washington DC on occasion, I have managed to get down to New Orleans several times – sometimes for work and sometimes for fun. Great locations all over the french quarter for weddings and engagement sessions. I’m a little jealous!

Mindy & Ryan’s Wedding at St. Louis Cathedral & Southern Oaks – 2/19/10

This wonderful Texas couple’s wedding ceremony was held at the elegant St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.  The flower girl was adorable!  Then we headed over to Southern Oaks Plantation for the reception, where the couple was given a classic New Orleans entrance with a carriage ride accompanied by the fabulous Pin-Stripe Brass Band, and a fireworks show.

The groom’s cake was fantastic… a wonderfully-rendered celebration of the Saint’s Super Bowl victory (the other side of the cake was for LSU).

As usual, the Southern Oaks staff exhibited the outstanding service the venue is known for, and everyone had a great time!
