We had the BEST experience with Cory Fontenot as our photographer for our daughter's wedding on 11/7/25. She is an artist and wanted a photographer who treated his craft as such instead of just taking pretty pictures. Cory had several phone calls with us to get a feel for what Lindsay was envisioning for First Look photos while suggesting ways to make it happen. The results were fabulous! And during the wedding and reception, Cory somehow captured every moment and laugh without getting in the way of any of the guests. Cory's photos of their First Look and of their ceremony truly expressed the couple's love while Cory's reception photos showed the pure joy of everyone in attendance! Cory was an absolute pleasure to work with and a beautiful photographer! We highly recommend him.

Daryl and Beth were fantastic. We collaborated regarding what kinds of shots we wanted, gave some preferences and then they worked their magic. They were creative, suggested interesting shots and made sure to provide feedback during the whole process to make sure we both looked our best. They were very active the entire ceremony and reception making sure to get shots of guests and us partying on the dance floor. We got a beautiful collection of first look photos a few days after the wedding and then we are expecting our final images within 3-4 weeks. I would 100% recommend hiring 1216 Photography for anyone looking for a photographer in the New Orleans area.

Imagine having your best friend at your wedding who just happens to have more photography talent than should be humanly allowed. That is Josh. He's this powerhouse of creativity and know how to not just capture the day, but to really make those big moments, the emotional moments and the big laughter all captured with the lens of someone that understands the human emotional roller-coaster of a wedding day. He can do food photography, fashion and art style photography, but whatever type of photos he's capturing, he's doing it with the experience and the heart of someone that loves what he does and it shows over and over. He knows where we're headed, how to be the photo ninja, and just brings such light and joy to an event. I cannot recommend him enough! You need Josh for your wedding, just trust me on this.

Well - aside from getting married. But truly, Traven and Katie were so pleasant to work with, and did such an amazing job capturing our special day. Traven was always willing to answer questions and schedule meetings/chats leading up to the event. His demeanor and enthusiasm for the work he does made us even more excited for the results! Traven provided us very early on with a template shot list which was incredibly helpful, my husband and I were able to make sure we got all the family photos we wanted and plan out each group photo. Then, day of, Traven worked well to keep us on our timeline, and when we were running behind, he moved efficiently through the shot list to get us back on schedule for the ceremony - it was truly impressive. The best part, though, is truly their candid photos throughout: getting ready, ceremony, second line, dances, reception. We now have so many amazing organic moments preserved forever (I’ve maybe cried more than once looking through our album, seriously), and we are so grateful for Traven and Gris Gris Photography!

We had the most incredible experience with Matthew and Liz for our wedding. They somehow were able to make us all look like movie stars while still capturing real moments and genuine emotions. Hiring different vendors for a wedding can be daunting, but I can assure you that if you book with this photography team, you will have one piece of your wedding anxiety lifted. They were quick to respond to me throughout the year leading up to our wedding and helped us feel relaxed/comfortable/& excited throughout the day despite never meeting them in person prior (due to our wedding being a destination wedding); they were absolutely worth every penny. The turnaround time for the photos also was so quick (which was great because I am extremely impatient and nit-picky)! Per Matt’s expertise suggestion (due to the early ceremony time), we had both Matt and Liz for the morning, ceremony, and portrait sessions and then just Matt for the reception and second line. Despite being one less a photographer for the second half of the wedding day we still got amazing photos. The reception images allowed me to see the parts of the party I missed and our guests at the reception kept saying “your photographer seemed to be everywhere at once!”. If you want your photos to not only be beautiful pieces of art work but also spark memories and emotion, look no further. They are a professional, friendly, experienced, and extremely competent team—you should certainly hire them.

Hannah was incredible, my husband, our guests, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She blended seamlessly with the crowd throughout our entire wedding weekend and the pictures are stunning! We had some pretty major last-minute schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances, Hannah was so gracious and able to accommodate us despite the last-minute chaos. Her work is beautiful & she was an absolute delight to work with. Cannot recommend Hannah & Citrine Pictures enough!

Devonte is superb! Beautiful photography and his energy is through the roof! From inquiry, I knew he was the right choice for us. He sought to get to know us and the vision we had for our wedding day. He quickly responds to email and phone calls. He is very thorough and passionate about his craft. Wedding day - He was awesome! In moments when I felt panicked, he kept me together and was so supportive. And I can't forget to mention.. he is not afraid to join the party! We received "sneak peeks" literally the morning after our wedding. Work ethic UNMATCHED. Thank you again, Devonte!

Annie was like a photo ninja. We almost didn't notice she was there for most of the night! She got some great posed and candid shots and cleaned them up beautifully for us. We received 100 beautiful high-resolution jpegs on a flash drive, royalty-free and available for us to print and use at our liberty, as well as an 11x17 canvas print (a special package she was offering at the time). A few months before the wedding, we met to discuss what shots we wanted and the style we liked. She is fantastic at journalism-style photography, so if you want beautiful candids that really bring back the memory of your big day, Annie would be happy to provide them! She arrived to the wedding professionally but simply dressed in black, and was friendly and accommodating to all of our friends and family. Oh, and she is an LGBT-friendly vendor. Several shots in her portfolio were from same-sex weddings. Even though we are not a same-sex couple, we were happy to support someone who is supportive of all love.

Scott did an amazing job for our wedding! Pictures were very important to us, but we didn't want to break the budget. Scott was perfect! He was affordable, flexible, and the quality is outstanding. We used him for our engagement photos and our wedding. He was able to perfectly capture our personalities and the vibe of our wedding! He was very easy to work with, and I never felt uncomfortable in front of a camera. Highly recommend!
