11+ Years. 360+ Couples.
One Proven Reputation.

You aren’t just booking a photographer; you are booking a decade of New Orleans expertise. At Elope to NOLA, we understand that a vow renewal is more than just a photo shoot—it’s a celebration of the miles you’ve traveled together. You’ve built the life, you’ve weathered the seasons, and now you want to stand in a city as timeless as your marriage to say those two powerful words again.

With over 360 perfect days captured and a consistent 5-star legacy, Marcia Ibay and Krislyn Fraser provide a “Type A” concierge experience. We don’t just take pictures; we architect an entire morning or afternoon of celebration where the only thing you have to do is show up in love.

  • Vetted Creative Partners: We curate your photography, officiant, and florist based on your personal style and date availability.

Why a New Orleans Vow Renewal?

New Orleans is a city that understands that the best things in life take time to mature. Much like a great marriage, the beauty of the French Quarter or the ancient oaks of City Park comes from their history and resilience. When you choose to celebrate your anniversary here, you are choosing a city that resonates with the depth of your commitment.

Stress-Free “Type A” Planning

We know our clients. You are busy professionals, travelers, foodies and you value excellence. You don’t want to spend your vacation time arguing over permit office hours or trying to find a florist who understands your aesthetic. Because we have managed over 360 amazing elopements and vow renewals, we have the local connections and logistical systems in place to ensure your only job is to show up and enjoy each other. From the moment you inquire to the day we deliver your gallery, every detail is handled with precision.

The Art of the Anniversary Session

A vow renewal photography session is different from a wedding. There is a relaxed confidence in couples who have been married for years. We focus on capturing that “shorthand” language you have with each other—the quiet smiles, the shared laughs, and the comfort of a love that has been proven by time. Our goal is to provide you with high-end, editorial-style portraits that feel authentic to who you are today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any legal paperwork?

No legal paperwork is required. Since you are already married, this is a symbolic celebration. You won’t need to visit City Hall or obtain a new license.

Can we bring our children?

Of course! Many couples include their children in their vow renewals. We can adjust the ceremony and photography to ensure your family is a central part of the celebration.

What is the best time for photography?

We always recommend scheduling your ceremony around “Golden Hour”—the hour before sunset—to get that warm, soft light that New Orleans is famous for.

Do you offer indoor options?

Yes. We have access to a few historic indoor b&b’s and covered spaces in case of typical New Orleans rain showers.
