We’re SO excited to share that Jessica and Aaron’s stunning coastal elopement on Biloxi Beach has been featured in ! ✨

We’re so honored to have captured their story. Head to to see all the beauty, and if a beachside “I do” is calling your name… let’s make it happen! ✨

A review which still means the world to us ✨

We had the joy of photographing Samantha and Arati’s wedding a few years ago and Samantha’s words still melt our hearts every time we read them:

“Marcia is the best professional photographer ever! She made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. She has a keen eye. She is talented and super sweet! My makeup came out too orange and she edited our pictures to where you couldn’t even tell! Highly recommend!!” -S. Watson

You guys! Thank you for trusting us with your day and for this sweet reminder of why we love what we do ✨

If you’re thinking about eloping in New Orleans? Send us a DM with the word “ELOPE” so we can begin planning your special day!

When your couple’s words feel like a warm hug ✨

Capturing Elizabeth and Jonathan’s elopement day was already something special — full of emotion, joy, and so many beautiful in-between moments. But hearing the kind words they shared after? It meant the WORLD to us.

We pour our hearts into every love story we get to tell, and reviews like theirs remind us exactly why we do what we do. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. ✨

Some moments just feel like a dream unfolding… and Aden and Allen’s sailboat engagement session was exactly that. ✨

We’re still swooning over these black and white frames—so simple, so timeless, and filled with so much love.

And the sweetest part?

The review they left after truly made our day! We’ll never stop being grateful for the trust, the love, and the chance to create something so meaningful with the most amazing couples.

If you’re feeling inspired by their dreamy sailboat engagement shoot… you know what to do. Send us a DM with the word “engagement” and we’ll get in touch to start planning your own magic!✨

3 Things No One Tells You About Eloping✨

1. It’s more emotional than you imagine. Without the distractions of a big wedding, you’re fully present. Every word, every touch, every moment hits deep!

2. Your photos will be next-level. When you’re stress-free and just soaking in the day, your joy radiates. Trust me—your photos will be filled with so much love and magic.

3. You can still have all the fun traditions. First dance? Cake cutting? A “reception” at your favorite restaurant? Absolutely. You get to do it YOUR way.

Remember, you deserve a wedding day that reflects you—and we’re here to help bring that vision to life. ✨

Did you know? and I have been friends for like a quarter of a century-yeah, that long! She’s been there for every big moment in my life, and I’ve been there for hers. And every year, we throw a joint family Christmas party-the highlight of my year! Because why celebrate separately when you can double the fun?!

So, years ago, when she said she wanted to become an officiant, I was like, hell yes, do it!! And with a little guidance from our amazing friend Colleen Orfanello (the OG of the officiating arena), she was off making magic happen. Sandy’s incredible personality, her love of love, and just being her authentic, hilarious self have led to some of the most fun and one-of-a-kind ceremonies for couples tying the knot in NOLA.

So...If you’ve been married by either of these incredible ladies (yep, Colleen even married my son, Kevin & Sandy and her husband!), consider yourself very lucky. I do my best to give our couples an amazing experience, but these two? They take it to a whole other level. They are the kindest, most genuine, love-filled humans you’ll ever meet. If you’ve ever been in the same room with both of them, you know—it’s like standing in the presence of real-life angels.

I love you both and am beyond grateful to call you family!

Was Sandy or Colleen your officiant? Comment below with a photo from your day ❤️
