About

I'm a photographer who believes in the importance of capturing memories, and not just photographs. As a wedding photojournalist, it's my job to create images with my clients that tell their stories not just for them--but also for the generations that will come after them. I work closely with my clients to create wedding day images that make them laugh, cry, and above all, FEEL something when they look at them, years after everything else from their wedding day is gone.

It's been my pleasure to document couples celebrating their wedding days in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, the surrounding areas, and for destination weddings all over the country for years now. In addition to wedding-day coverage, I also photograph bridal sessions and engagements, and believe almost to the point of hard-headedness in the power of printing photos. To that end, I offer albums and various print mediums to make sure my clients and their families have images to tell their forever stories that don't just live on hard drives.

I'm a lover of The Office memes (including taking any opportunity for a That's What She Said joke), fiercely fond of wedding cake, and have been known to party hard on the dance floor with my clients (although what I lack in talent, I make up for with enthusiasm).

If you believe as strongly in the power of photographs as I do, love your family and friends HARD, and want to work with me to create memories that will make you feel all of the love, laughter and fun of your wedding day forever - let's chat.

The only thing I love more than wedding cake is photographing wonderful people on one of the best days of their lives.

Cyd is Amazing!

My (now) wife and I very much lucked into a professional relationship with Cyd and Bayou Rose Photo, and we are so happy we did. We sure hope these comments on her work will help others make an actual educated decision when you are seeking an event photographer. And from our perspective - Bayou Rose photo is the right decision!

I hit on Cyd via a simple Google search to have surprise engagement photos taken in 2022. I'm very thankful that I did, the engagement photos were fantastic. I returned to New Orleans with my son the following year to celebrate his 21st Birthday, and I again booked Cyd. When we decided to get married in New Orleans in 2024, of course we went with Cyd and she delivered big time.

Cyd was flexible and allowed us to add some extra time to get pre-ceremony formals completed on our very tight schedule, then also additional time to stop by our after party on Bourbon to get some great shots. As we have been reviewing the hundreds of great photos Cyd took for us, there have been so many times that we reflect and say "what a great shot she got there!" On our wedding video, Cyd can be seen rushing around getting in position to do great work. She met with us beforehand to ensure we were on the same page about all the different photos we were sure we wanted to get, and we got them.

Saving the best for last here. The moon has been a symbolic and very important part of my wife and my relationship from the very beginning. As an absolute surprise, halfway through our reception, we noticed the moon hanging out above our courtyard. We asked Cyd if there was any way she could get a challenging shot of us with the moon above us - and she immediately knew what she wanted to do and how to do it. She shot the most incredible photos of us with the moon above us, and we had no idea how she was going to pull it off. But she did! We will forever cherish those moon photos, along with all of her other work.

We cannot compliment Cyd enough and hope others will consider her to document your special event!

We loved working with Bayou Rose Photography!

We love Cyd!!! She was incredibly kind, patient, professional, skilled, and super helpful in walking us through all of the steps in preparing for and downloading our engagement photos and our wedding ceremony + reception photos. She was such a sensitive and resilient presence throughout our time working with her, making a genuine effort to connect with us personally and persisting through all challenges with a sense of humor. We could always count on her to communicate clearly and quickly with us throughout the different stages of working together. Not least of all, we loved her photos, which included a great mixture of classic and more "artsy" perspectives to choose from (and all for a very reasonable price). We can't thank her enough for helping us capture this special time in our lives in such a beautiful way. Highly recommended!
