Sidney Donaldson Photography 

5.0

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!

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.

Best photographer hands down! I've worked with Whitney for a long time and he always made me feel beautiful! He's the best at capturing those little unforgettable moments. He helped capture my wedding day perfectly all by himself and I will always have amazing photos to remember it by and to cherish forever. I honestly wish I would've paid more for his bigger package that included videography because it definitely would have been worth it! Book with him, you won't regret it!

Stephen Lomonaco Photography 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,000

I didn't know it at first, but photography has often been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in our bathrooms, and I often wondered how he took them. By the time I was in high school, I regularly had a disposable in my pocket. It was exciting to capture those brief moments and the people in them, and still so to be able to look back. Connecting with others in a positive way has always been a passion of mine, and thankfully this compliments my role as a photographer. I hope to make a positive impact in this world through the lens, and would love 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!

Gris Gris Photography 

5.0

  • 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!

Willow's World Photo

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.

Willow was the first vendor I knew I wanted because her photos are so full of life and really bring you into the moment. I wanted to be able to relive my wedding day, not just have stiff formal photos to look through as the years pass. I got exactly what I wanted!! Every photo she took captured all the emotion from each moment (even the posed ones!). She was friendly, bubbly, real, and everywhere all at once. It was super hot in our venue but she didn’t let that stop her. Many of our guests commented how great she was and how just our sneak peak had them both crying and laughing looking through the memories. She was incredible all the way through. Thank you Willow!!!!!

Wedding Photography is so Satisfying! I refer to my style of shooting as “the sniper”. People often tell me when they see a photo pop up on the screen right after I take it… “I never even saw you take that!” That’s the whole idea behind capturing truly genuine and candid moments that can’t be recreated… It’s about being sneaky, having experience and hustling your A$$ off to be in the right place at the right time… and I have so much fun doing it! I’m a proud father of 5 sons and a daughter (she’s the youngest)! I’ve shot over 550 weddings in 14+ years.

I loved working with Adam for my bridals and wedding. He captured both events so perfectly and brought my vision for both to life. I, as well as my wedding guests' loved the real time photos on the screen that he has for your reception. It was so fun to see all the pics he took from the ceremony and then as the reception was happening!
