About

Hi, I am Louis Dumser, and I am the photographer/owner of Photography By Louis! With over 20 years of wedding photography experience in the New Orleans Metro area, I'll work closely with you and your families to capture the true beauty of your wedding without being obtrusive. My posing and lighting techniques are very natural and my style is simple yet elegant.

When you choose me as your photographer, I will be present at your wedding creating every image. I am dedicated to providing you with beautiful, timeless photos of your wedding day by documenting the beginning of your life as a married couple. Your wedding day is a day when you celebrate your love for one another and it is my job to leave you with memories that can be enjoyed for years to come.

The variety of wedding albums that I offer are truly unique. Each album is custom designed by me. I never use templates or outsourcing when designing your album. You will have unlimited opportunities to make changes and substitutions before the album is complete.

I thoroughly enjoy every aspect of the wedding business and would love the opportunity to work with you on your wedding!

Louis photographed my daughter's engagement party, wedding, gender reveal and baby shower. We have wonderful pictures that we received in a timely fashion. He's very professional and an awesome artist!

My fiancé and I could not be happier with each and every picture that Mr. Louis created. Not only did he capture every moment of our special day, but he was so fast and discrete that each picture looks beautifully natural. Even our family and guests complemented his kind, easy going personality. Amidst the stress and chaos of a wedding, Mr. Louis went out of his way to not only take wonderful pictures, but to plan and organize everything better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much for giving us your time and skill on this special day! We are beyond grateful!

Louis is a one of a kind photographer. Not only did he save our wedding day when our other photographer cancelled last minute he showed up and delivered us the most memorable photo's imaginable. He was able to capture extremely natural pictures that we absolutely loved. He knew so much about photography as well as different poses and places to shoot that we were able to just relax and let him work his magic. These pictures will last us a lifetime! I would recommend Louis to anyone that wants great wedding pictures!

Louis did our wedding photography and he was awesome!!! My wedding pictures were posted only a few days after my wedding, so quick! I still spend at least 10 minutes a day looking through them and I cannot wait to pick out the photos for my album! He did a great job of quickly getting portraits and family pictures taken. The candids he got were simply amazing! I have already recommended him to a few of my engaged friends and would definitely recommend to anyone getting married!

I am very pleased how everything turned out from the bridal portraits to our big day. We received many complements how our pictures came out. The pictures were crisp, fresh, and clean from start to finish. Mr. Louis used the best quality photo paper that will enhance your overall picture. No matter what day or time you take your pictures, Mr. Louis will bring your picture out to make a statement. If you want quality and perfection, make a appointment today with Photography by
Louis. Your pictures will last for lifetime.

Louis was a pleasure to work with and I was very pleased with my album. It took about 3 or 4 weeks to get my album after my wedding and thats just cause it took me a while to pick my pictures. He did my sisters wedding about 4 years ago and he will be doing my cousins wedding comming up this June. I always recommend him to everyone that is looking for a good photographer.

WE used Louis for our small/intimate New Orleans wedding. He was great!
He captured almost 500 images in 3 hours and the pictures were sent to us to view on his website within the week - quickest turnaround for wedding picture I have ever seen! So many god pictures to choose from too!

Pictures were excellent. ......Engagement pictures were delivered pretty quickly but we at three weeks and have yet to get our wedding pictures. Louis is an excellent photographer with a great eye for that perfect shot......
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
