Jordan Sent on 01/03/2024AMAZING duo to work with!!
Daryl and Elizabeth at 1216 Studio were the absolute best and made us feel so seen on our wedding day! They made it such an easy decision from the beginning by being so responsive and making it feel personal. On the day, they made sure to capture all of the shots we wanted (even remembering some I forgot about). They definitely made us feel like we had known for them a while so I was completely comfortable during all the photos - which are STUNNING. If you want photographers who make you feel like friends, make it super easy to get the best shots, make sure to get all the shots you want, and find incredible scenery/angles for great photos - I highly recommend 1261 Studio!! -

Amanda Sent on 05/21/2025Loved them!
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. -

Darryl and Elizabeth were a dream to work with! I did my bridals with them in New Orleans and they were easy to work with, communicated well and efficiently. They were even better for the wedding! My husband described them as “top tier” people. My dress had a button malfunction and Elizabeth was right there every time I needed to re-safety pin it. They were so amazing and lovely. Would absolutely recommend! -

We loved working with 1216 Studio. Daryl and Beth made our wedding a great one to remember with the amazing quality of images.
They did my bridal session and they captured the best images! Everyone who has seen them, loves them. Best part Daryl captured a few with my parents, brother and my fur kid to always remember that day.
The wedding day, starting with prep, Beth arrived on time and captured great memories of the bridesmaids and my flower girls and the ones with my parents I will cherish forever. The ceremony and reception pictures are beyond amazing!
Thank you for a great job.

Daryl and Beth were beyond amazing!! My husband and I are from NY and we were planning our destination wedding in New Orleans. Typically, that would be challenging but they made it so easy! They are efficient, reliable and extremely talented!! The day was magical and seamless and I owe it all to Daryl and Beth! You guys are amazing!! -

Alicia Sent on 12/15/2021So happy with our experience with 1216 Studio!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Daryl and Beth for our wedding. We held our (postponed) wedding as a destination wedding in the French Quarter, and they were one of the only vendors we had a chance to meet in person. Leading up to the event, they were super responsive and helpful in assuring us they knew the venue, the other vendors and our vision, giving us peace of mind that everything would go smoothly. On site they took charge of the run of show, keeping things moving to ensure we captured all the shots we wanted from start to finish. We are so pleased with our photos (nearly 3000 of them!), all of which we retain printing rights to. That was super important to us, because we didn’t want to limit the amount of images we could print, share and display forever. In a city with countless talented photographers, I would hire Daryl and Beth again in a heartbeat! -

Heather Sent on 10/24/2021Truly Amazing Photographers!!!
Beth and Daryl are amazing photographers as well as amazing people! Their passion for their work was evident in the quality of their photographs. They made us feel comfortable from beginning to end and were more than willing to help with so many aspects of the day! They gave great direction and at the same time captured all the best moments in action! Beth and Daryl were very easy to communicate with during the planning process. Our wedding coordinator commented on their professionalism and great communication as well. 1216 Studio was amazing to work with and we are so very happy with our experience with them!! -

Daryl & Beth are legit the greatest people you’ll ever meet! They were amazing to work with for our wedding. We had zero worries when it came to the photos for our wedding.

Melissa Sent on 10/13/2020Very happy bride!
Daryl and Elizabeth were great and made the flow of taking all those awkward family pictures into a fun time. Once our family pictures we done, they drove us around the French Quarter to take pictures at some of our favorite spots. They also recommended some beautiful locations they knew while we were out. They borrowed us from the reception several times throughout the night to take pictures in different lighting as it got darker. They were just fun people, which made us have more fun on our day. If we’re ever in NOLA again needing a photographer, these are the two we’d call. Highly recommend them for your photography needs!! -

Mallory Sent on 03/31/2020Fantastic photographers!
We are so lucky to have found Daryl and Elizabeth to do our engagement photos. They took SO many good pictures of us in our 30 minute session and the editing came out beyond fantastic. They had such a good mix of incorporating some of our ideas with theirs, and they took some fantastic pictures of us with our corgi too! I can’t wait to use all of these for our save-the-dates, it’s definitely going to be hard to pick between them as they are all so good! -

Malorie Sent on 01/16/2020Book 1216 Studios Now!!
Daryl & Elizabeth are amazing!!! From our first phone conversation I knew that's who I wanted to capture our wedding. I told them I didn't want too many posed shots but I wanted pictures that could be in an editorial and they delivered. They were with us all day but were never in the way. They are so personable and we felt so comfortable with them. Then the pictures were amazing, we received over 2000 photos! I truly believe we got our money's worth and then some! Book 1216 studios, you won't regret it! -

Jeanette Sent on 10/31/2019Best wedding photographers in New Orleans
I cannot express fully how wonderful 1216 Studio wedding photography were for our granddaughters wedding. The time and extra effort they took to capture every precious moment was noticed by even our guests. I cannot wait to see the beautiful pictures they've captured during this happy time for us.
Every request we made was done with such ease, and we were never made to feel like we were in the way, or bothersome. They were not just photographers, they fit in like guests and family. No wonder they have won so many awards!
While we haven't had our first sneak peek, we know their work is exquisite from the engagement pictures they did for Caitlyn Wood and Calvin Wood.
Thank you for your time and attention to every detail. We would recommend them for your engagement and wedding photography.. Oh, and they offer videography also! They offer the whole package! 💕 -

There is no one that would have ever been as great as they were.
If I could rate them a million stars I would. They were professional but fun and made us so comfortable. They did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and I just can't even imagine them being more perfect.
Elizabeth helped me with so much and was always there for me. Daryl always the one to make you laugh and help you relax a bit when you're feeling uptight.
I would suggest them to ANYONE I ever meet and would tell you you're crazy to consider looking anywhere else.

Lizzy Sent on 10/30/2019Amazing photog duo!
Love, love, love! I was hesistant at first because I didn't know exactly what I wanted - there's so many to choose from - but SO glad we chose them! Daryl and Beth were referred to us by our wedding planners and booked we met them. They're super easy going, know exactly what's going on, gets to know you, responsive, and accomodating. We did engagement photos to get to know them before the wedding. They made us comfortable the whole time and even went a little over time just to get all the shots we wanted - SO many ideas. Aside from a wedding planner, they will be the ones to make sure you everything on time, get things done, and that your dress, veil, tuxes, boutonnières are flawless. Beth even helped me decide on earrings to go with my wedding dress as I was getting dressed, ha! If you want a certain picture, speak up, they'll be more than happy to make it work! We got married on one of the busiest days in the Quarter and they still made sure everything went as planned and caught every single crazy moment! -

Jacqueline Sent on 08/26/2019Absolutely amazing!
Beth and Daryl are absolutely amazing!!! They really went above and beyond for us!! They were so easy to work with and flexible to meet our needs!!! It felt like we were working with our friends the entire time!! They worked well together so that my fiancé and I wouldn’t see each other until I walked down the isle. Beth helped me out so much when we were preparing for the wedding, it was great having someone who knew so much about weddings there with me!! And Daryl saved the day when our departure rental did not show up, none of our guest even knew that anything had gone wrong!!! They are the best!!! And I can’t say enough about our wedding photos!!! They were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! They look like something out of a wedding magazine!!!! They captured everything, I get to relive my wedding day every time I see them!!! I LOVE our photos!!! I’m so happy that I chose 1216 Studio to capture our special day!! Hands down, they are the best photographers in town!!! -

Sherrie Sent on 06/01/2019Excellent!!!
When I tell you these are 2 of the most awesome people my husband and I have ever met, I MEAN IT! To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. We never felt like we were dealing with "vendors" at all during our wedding day. We felt like they were part of our wedding as friends. So professional, so responsive and SO AWESOME!!! Not to mention our pictures turned out so BEAUTIFUL. If you are looking for a awesome photography duo, they are you go to! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ♥️ -

Kerrilee Sent on 05/18/2019Amazing photographers!
Daryl and Beth were amazing from the very start. When meeting with them in their cute studio in August to discuss our wedding, we knew from the start that they were going to be amazing to work with. They were so organized and knowledgeable about the French Quarter and our venue that it made the rest of planning so easy. It was a bonus that they were a duo and we were able to meet both our photographers. When our wedding day finally came in February they were amazing! Having our photos taken was a little nerve wrecking, but Beth and Daryl made it so comfortable. They were everywhere taking photos and were able to capture so many great moments! We love our photos and couldn't be happier that we had the chance to work Daryl and Beth! -

Brittany Sent on 12/07/2018Amazing!
Darryl and Elizabeth are not only a match made in heaven but they are a match made in the photography business!!! We stayed in constant communication and 4 weeks leading up to the wedding we had a specific meeting just to make a timeline. The way they captured my beauty and glow as a bride, from my Bridals to the actual wedding, was breathtaking! Booking 1216 was a TRUE blessing!!!! -
![Mrs_J]()
Yuri Sent on 10/12/2018AMAZINGGGGGGG!!! From my engagement shoot to the wedding, they were phenomenal. Most iconic husband and wife duo I’ve met behind a camera lens. Extremely professional, creative, respectful, timely, funny and down right THE BEST IN NOLA. They have forever customers in my husband and I just based off of their service. I know my photos and video will be phenomenal and I’m so happy I used 1216! -

Maryanne Sent on 05/21/2017Daryl and Elizabeth were an absolute dream to work with! During planning they were so helpful with recommendations and took great care of us as we were planning our wedding from out of state. Great communication and amazing customer service. They are AMAZING!!
The wedding day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without them. Their help with the timing of the day was so much appreciated, and they were so fun to work with! One of my favorite parts of the day was walking around the French Quarter taking our bride/groom photos with them. It was just us and the 1216 team and it was just like they were old friends of ours!
I could not be happier that we had them as our photographers and would recommend them to anyone I know who is getting married in the New Orleans area! -

Heather Sent on 08/09/2012My fiance & I have only done our engagement session and we are beyond satisfied with the quality and professionalism with Beth & Daryl. They have great ideas for phot-ops and are open to any suggestion or want to capture the moment! Can't wait to do the actual wedding I'm sure it will be beyond anything we could have ever imagined! -

Made a magical day more magical!!
Daryl and Elizabeth have to be the best decision we made for our wedding apart from marrying each other. They were so lovely and kind and professional, they fit themselves seamlessly into our day, and I cannot begin to say enough about the absolutely stunning photos they blessed us with. Honestly, they would have been worth twice what we paid for them, and if we ever have a vow renewal, they will be the first call we make. I also want to mention for any other queer couples that they were absolutely wonderful and accepting and supportive of our queer wedding.
I’ve told everyone I know who gets engaged that Studio 1216 is the best decision they can possibly make for the kind of photos they’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Daryl and Elizabeth, from Nikii and Jessica!! Our wedding may have been in 2019, but 5 years later we cherish our photos and the memory of having you with us on our big day! -
