Why Trust Marcia & The Team?
Planning an out-of-town or last-minute celebration requires more than just someone holding a camera—it takes a seasoned guide who knows the city inside out. Born and raised in New Orleans, I operate with an intentional, Type A approach to logistics, full planning assistance, and backup planning so you never have to worry about the unexpected.
We don't treat elopements as a side hustle to large ballroom productions; intimate celebrations are our entire focus. When you work with us, you gain a dedicated advocate who ensures your timeline flows with complete ease, protecting your peace of mind from day one.
Envisioning a Larger Guest List or Multi-Location Experience?
For couples hosting up to 20 guests, desiring extended story coverage, or wanting an elevated weekend narrative combining the Tree of Life with a French Quarter elopement or sailboat wedding, we design bespoke celebrations tailored entirely to your vision.

Marcia is a great communicator! She took care of pretty much everything and I literally had nothing to worry about. Our photos came out amazing. I am still in awe.
It felt like we had our own personal tour guide in New Orleans. Marcia made the whole process so easy. All the vendors she connected us with exceeded our expectations.
