French Quarter and Beyond Elopements
About Ibay Photography
Creating artful, heart-centered elopements that feel intimate, effortless, and deeply you — in the spirit of New Orleans
Hey, I’m Marcia! 👋🏻
I help couples who want more than just wedding photos—they want an experience. My relaxed, fun approach to eloping in New Orleans lets you focus on each other.
With over 10 years of experience and 350+ elopements captured and planned, I’m your expert in making your day perfect. Born and raised here, I know this city inside and out. Photography is personal to me. After Hurricane Katrina wiped out my family’s photos, I learned how powerful a single image can be.
I’m a planner, a straight-shooter (yup, Scorpio energy here), and the kind of person who turns chaos into magic. When you work with me, you get someone who makes sure everything runs smoothly so you can enjoy every second of your day.

✨ The Artists Capturing Your Moments ✨
Authentic. Unscripted. Yours.
We’re not just here to snap pretty pictures—we’re here to tell your story, your way. Our job is to capture the energy, the style, and the emotions that make your day yours.
And look, we get it—we’re not for everyone. If you’re all about the overly blurry photos and harsh flash shadows trend, we might not be your people. But if you want photos that feel natural, stylish, and full of life? Now we’re talking.
The couples we vibe with most? They’re kind, creative, and know that tradition is only worth keeping if it actually means something to them. They love great style, appreciate aesthetics, and draw inspiration from timeless fashion. Their elopement isn’t about putting on a show—it’s about creating an experience that reflects who they are: adventurous, stylish, and unapologetically unique. Most importantly, they treat people with love and respect, prioritize their families, and understand that their elopement day isn’t just about the event—it’s about the meaning and journey behind it.
If that sounds like you, then let’s connect. We can’t wait to hear your story.
