Why Couples Choose WeddingLens
Finding the right New Orleans wedding photographer isn't just about finding someone who takes beautiful photos. It's about finding a team you can trust on one of the most important days of your life.
Couples choose WeddingLens because we make the process simple, enjoyable, and stress-free.
Professional Photography Without Luxury Pricing
Many New Orleans wedding photographers start at $3,000, $5,000, or more. While photography is one of the most important investments you'll make on your wedding day, we believe professional photography should be accessible to more couples.
Wedding photography with WeddingLens starts at just $1,008 for 4 hours of coverage, making us one of the most affordable professional photography options in the New Orleans area.
Fast Turnaround Times
You shouldn't have to wait six months or longer to relive your wedding day.
Our couples receive their edited gallery just 3–5 weeks after making their photo selections, allowing them to enjoy and share their memories much sooner than many traditional photography studios.
Real Communication
Wedding planning can be overwhelming. We believe communication shouldn't be.
We respond to inquiries within 24 hours and are available by phone, text, or email throughout your planning process. Whether you have a quick question or need help adjusting your timeline, we're here when you need us.
Experienced Team Coverage
WeddingLens has photographed approximately 750 weddings since 2018.
Our team includes five experienced photographers with more than 50 years of combined wedding photography experience. We've photographed weddings across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Covington, Mandeville, Houma, Slidell, and throughout South Louisiana.
A Photojournalistic Approach
The best wedding photos aren't always planned.
They're the tears in your father's eyes before walking you down the aisle. The way your partner looks at you during the ceremony. The laughter during toasts. The joy of a New Orleans second line celebration.
Our photojournalistic style focuses on capturing genuine moments as they happen, creating a wedding gallery that feels like your day rather than a staged photo shoot.
Our Photography Style
When couples hire WeddingLens, they're looking for photos that will still feel beautiful decades from now.
That's why we focus on timeless photography.
We avoid heavy editing, trendy filters, and overly stylized effects that may look dated in a few years. Instead, we create clean, natural images that showcase real emotions, authentic colors, and genuine moments.
While we happily direct family portraits and help couples feel comfortable during portraits, our favorite moments are the ones that happen naturally.
Some of our favorite images to capture include:
Emotional first looks
Genuine laughter between couples
Parent reactions
Ceremony moments
New Orleans second lines
Reception celebrations
Quiet moments together during the day
These are the photos our couples frame, share, and pass down for generations.
