Here are some steps to help plan your engagement session in New Orleans:

Decide on a location: New Orleans offers many beautiful locations for engagement photos, such as the French Quarter, City Park, or the Garden District. Consider your personal style and the look you want for your photos when choosing a location. We can also provide suggestions based on the area for look you’re going for.

Plan your outfits: Your outfits should complement each other and the location you have chosen. Think about the colors, patterns, and textures that will work best for the background. We recommend not to be too “matchy-matchy,” and consider your outfits as if you were going out on a nice date where you may run into your favorite celebrity.

Schedule the session: Consider the time of day and the lighting for the best results. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the best times for outdoor photos, especially when considering the humidity. We typically aim to schedule our sessions around the heat and humidity, and to avoid it as good as possible.

Have fun: Engagement sessions are a fun and exciting time for couples. Relax and enjoy the experience, and let your love shine through in your photos.
