French Quarter and Beyond Elopements

New Orleans Elopement Photographers
Keeping couples happy and worry-free since 2014

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 what really matters—each other.

I capture most of our elopements myself, but if I’m booked, my handpicked team shares my vision and commitment to making your day unforgettable. No complicated planning or fluff—just real moments and memories that last a lifetime.

Bottom line: I want you to have the best damn day of your life. Period.

Born and raised in New Orleans, I know this city inside and out (we’re talking best-parade-watching-spots) level local. Photography is personal to me—after Hurricane Katrina wiped out my family’s photos, I learned how powerful a single image can be. That’s why I don’t just take pictures; I capture the realness of your love story.

I’m a planner, a straight-shooter, and the kind of person who turns chaos into magic (shoutout to my Type A, full-on Scorpio energy). When you work with me, you get someone who makes sure everything runs smoothly so you can enjoy every second of your day.

If you’d rather dance through the French Quarter than stress over seating charts, and you want photos that make you feel something every time you see them—let’s do this. Click “Chat With Us” and let’s start planning the best day ever.

See what others have said!

MEET KRISLYN—OUR CREATIVE DYNAMO-IN-TRAINING 😊

Krislyn is basically a rockstar-in-the-making. As a Visual Arts student at NOCCA (aka Louisiana’s only super fancy arts conservatory), she’s already got the skills to bring creative magic to life behind the lens—and the photography awards to prove it!

When she’s not busy acing her classes or turning her projects into mini-masterpieces, Krislyn joins our photography team as an assistant—and trust us, she’s got an eye for the unexpected. Working alongside our lead photographers, she captures those in-between moments and fresh angles that make your day feel even more special. Think of her as our secret weapon for adding that extra sprinkle of artistry to your photos.

Krislyn isn’t just a photography whiz. She’s also available for hire as a live wedding sketch artist. While your guests are sipping champagne and mingling, she’ll be whipping up beautiful, interactive portraits right on the spot. It’s like having your own mini art gallery at your wedding, and your guests will love it!

✨ 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.
