High Energy and Very Supportive

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!

Devonte is a rare talent!

WOW!!!! Devonte is a rare talent. He has the ability to tell your story through gorgeous high quality photos. When you meet the composed, confident, professional and helpful gentlemen you know immediately that your memories are in good hands. Not only did Devonte take photos that would be fit for print in any wedding magazine he also took the time to assist the bride in which shoes look best and helped the groom get it together by fixing his jacket and putting on his cufflinks. He even ran upstairs to grab the brides bouquet for the photos. All of these extra touches make Devonte second to none. If you want the best photographer in NOLA and beyond then look no further. Devonte is the one.

Devonte, thank you so much for all the beautiful memories.

Thank you,
Alisha and Jeff

Flawless and Memorable

If you're looking for an out- the- box photographer, someone who gets a feel for you as a couple, you've got the right one! What can we say... my fiance and I traveled to New Orleans to take engagement photos and ended up in the worst unexpected storm! Flooding, tornado warnings... name it, it happened!

But Devonte stuck in out! He encouraged me to "woosah" and keep optimism alive. We did! Eventually the water receded and we were able to take beautiful photos!

We can't really thank him enough for everything! Prompt responses! Beautiful photos!
We wanted to book him for the wedding but he was already scheduled out of town!

Best wedding investment you will make!

First, go check out the photographer's work on Instagram @raresightingphotagraphy! That's how we stumbled upon this company after a seemingly endless search for just the right wedding photographer. We were pretty much sold on pictures alone but the thorough initial phone call and patient answers to our endless questions sealed the deal.

It's not always easy to find someone who strikes the balance between being both a professional business person and a creative. Rare Sighting Photography adds value to your wedding planning through their professional, headache-free way of doing business. And they know how to have a good time too!

One of the things we looked for in a photographer was the ability to truly capture memories instead of just posed photos--we wanted to be able to relive the memories. Rare Sighting Photography is truly gifted at capturing special moments in time. We smile every single time we look at our pictures (which is almost daily) as if we are seeing them for the first time. Our pictures were well worth the investment, and I cannot recommend Devonte & his team enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
