The Original New Orleans Elopement Expert
Founder | Lead Photographer | Creative Director
A Huge Welcome to the Crescent City!
I'm Marcia. Let me tell you a story about how my career changed with a single "panic call." After years of shooting traditional ballroom weddings, a couple called me after cancelling their 160-person hometown event. The celebration had stopped being about them and started being about what everyone else wanted. They decided to elope in New Orleans in just four days. No guests. No fluff. Just them under a stunning live oak.
The bride even sang her vows with a little help from Tina Turner...and I had full-body chills. We ended that day at Café Du Monde for a surprise gender reveal involving blue sugar and beignets. Seeing that blue sugar fall and the happy tears from the couple was my epiphany: Intention matters more than production.
The Art of the Unhurried Moment
Since that day, I’ve focused on the soul and agility a true elopement requires. I’ve curated an elite collective of professionals who share this "Moments First" philosophy. Whether I am personally behind the lens or leading the creative direction for your day, I remain your Creative Director—personally hand-editing every image to ensure it meets our signature, timeless look.
While I’m obsessed with the final frame, most of my work lives behind the scenes. When it’s done right, everything moves smoother and more authentically. I handle the logistics, the photography and the timing so that by the time you’re standing in your perfect ceremony spot, the only thing you have to focus on is the person in front of you.NOLA Born & Raised
