You won't be disappointed!
Cannot recommend Bradley enough! My husband and I decided to elope about a week before visiting New Orleans and because of that came the worry of finding a last minute photographer. Bradley was happy to accommodate with such short notice. Leading up to our day he was very prompt in his responses and was happy to take the time to get the perfect idea of what all we were looking for in our photos. He even offered to drive us knowing we were out of town! As for our photos, we couldn't be happier. Bradley made us both feel comfortable the entire time and made us feel like we were with an old friend. He also knew of great locations to get the best photos. Bradley was professional, budget friendly, and truly captured our day perfectly! -

We had such an amazing experience from start to finish with Bradley and Second Line! We did our engagement shoot with Bradley in Armstrong Park. He knew I was nervous and shy in front on a camera so he met us at the lounge across the street for a drink to loosen us up. We ended up having the most amazing time and it showed through our pictures. He kept us laughing and made us so comfortable. Because of this we've received nothing but compliments on our engagement photos. About 2 weeks later we received the whole gallery and were thrilled. He also did my bridals where I wore a black wedding dress (halloween wedding) and he pickjed the perfect wooded spot in City Park. They turned out magical!! For our wedding he was again so comfortable to work with and knowledgeable. It was incredibly windy that day and the roof of the hotel was restricted for construction so his quick thinking found us another spot to take my family and bridal party pictures which I will cherish! (Any excuse to post a wedding picture I still do 2 years later!) And my husband and his groomsmen look like something out of GQ for their pics walking around the quarter before the wedding. Every type of detail shot and photo on my list that I wanted he got. And everything came back so timely! Highly recommend his services and having a drink with him! -

Hiring this team is the best wedding planning decision you can make!
Choosing Second Line Photography for our wedding in March of 2023 was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! I was familiar with their work before I was even engaged. The first thing I did after saying “Yes!” was call Second Line Photography to book our date. Owner, Bradley, took time to get to know me and my now-husband prior to our engagement shoot which made all the difference when it came time to start snapping photos! I have a shy personality but Bradley knew how to make us feel comfortable and bring out our fun sides. He captured my fiance’s goofy charm perfectly. He recommended the perfect spots around the city to showcase what we love about New Orleans. On our wedding day, Bradley and his team kept us entertained as they chased after our Second Line down Canal street snapping pictures and even climbing on a trash can at one point to get the perfect shot! They quite literally went above and beyond. We got our wedding photos back quickly and they are GORGEOUS. I have looked at them every day since and I will cherish them forever. They have several great packages to pick from but I highly recommend adding the photo booth! Our guests had a blast with it and loved that they could have those photos and gifs sent directly to their phones. Bradley responded to all communication quickly and professionally. We ran into some unfortunate issues with other vendors and Bradley helped me find new ones who truly saved the day! I cannot recommend Second Line Photography enough. -

Ashton Sent on 09/01/2023A Dream Photographer for a COVID Bride
Being a COVID bride in New Orleans 2020 came with its own set of unique challenges, but Bradley—our extraordinary photographer— made everything truly magical! From the first look, to our ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral, followed by second lining to the reception! He captured the magic, the sparkle, the party, and most importantly, the love!
From the moment he stepped in, he brought an energy that was contagious and instantly made everyone feel at-ease! Not only did he capture the most stunning photos that we’ll cherish forever, but he also became a beloved friend in the process! His fun-loving nature transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an absolute joy.
Bradley’s impact was so substantial that our friends who recently tied the knot in Austin didn’t think twice before hiring him for their own nuptials after meeting him at our wedding and seeing his beautiful work!
If you’re searching for a photographer who brings professionalism, talent, and a dash of fun to your special day, look no further! His friendship and exceptional skill have made him our #1 recommendation. Thank you, Bradley, for being a monumental part of our wedding and now, our lives -

I met Bradley years ago through senior portraits and knew that when the time came, I would ask him to take my wedding photos. His response to my inquiry was prompt and very heartfelt. The packages had a nice variety at a reasonable cost. Besides that, our pictures and my bridals came out AMAZING! We got so many compliments on the quality of the photos and the photo booth, specifically the gif and the text option on the Photo Booth. Bradley and his team took the time out to build relationships with myself, my husband, our families, and the wedding party to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had a ball!! -

Great Memories
I adore the moments Brad captured during my bridal session and on my wedding day. Each is an authentic gallery of special moments-I can almost hear them when I look back through the pictures. Brad helped me pose, but still look natural—I look like myself. (I was so worried about looking too staged.) I had a summer wedding, a big colorful bouquet, and got married in an old gothic revival style cathedral—the way he was able to balance the colors was amazing! Better than I even imagined. We felt so comfortable around Brad. He made us all feel at ease, and as a result he and his team created a beautiful documentary of moments in time. Thank you, Second Line Photography, for perfectly capturing our day! -

Elizabeth Sent on 02/03/2020So happy we chose Second Line Photography!
Brad was punctual, professional, easy to communicate with and we had so much fun working with him. The pictures (engagements, bridals & wedding) all came out SO good and it's so hard to narrow down which ones to print! He is really great at capturing the mood, the moment and all the beautiful feelings surrounding these special times in your life. He was really helpful and had everything under control, but was also open to anything we wanted to try. His personality & attitude took away the stress of the big day and he was a pleasure to work with. -

Mary Sent on 02/01/2020100% recommend hiring Second Line Photography
Brad was absolutely fantastic as our wedding photographer. His communication was great from the get-go, he instantly made us feel comfortable and natural during our initial engagement shoot (we had a little champagne to help loosen up a little!) For the wedding, he did a great job coaching the group photos so it didn’t take forever, which we really appreciated! He was everywhere at once and it felt like he captured every single moment. Even after the wedding, our friends even commented about how awesome our photographer was! When we got the pictures back we absolutely LOVED them. There was one picture when I didn’t like the way my hair looked and he photoshopped it for me and sent it back less than 15 minutes later. Such a wizard. He knocked it out of the park and we recommended him to my cousin who is about to get married and she hired him too! 100% recommend!! 5 stars for sure. -

Rebecca Sent on 01/22/2020More Than Just a Photographer
Going into my wedding, I knew that there was ONE aspect that I would give the biggest portion of my non-reception budget to, and that was my photos. Pictures have always been incredibly important to me, so finding the right person to capture our big day was priority number one. As soon as we picked the date, we started researching photographers. My husband and I both knew IMMEDIATELY after meeting with Bradley that we wanted him to be our photographer. Truthfully, I think I knew before. Bradley was so easy to talk to, and even though he was based out of Baton Rouge at the time, he made it possible to meet with him in New Orleans. I worked insane hours and had just gotten in a car accident, so traveling was really out of the question. Bradley was so accommodating it was ridiculous. We literally booked him hours after our first meeting. He didn't mind my awkward ways and was on board with the notion that I can't ever smile and just make faces. He was totally down for the challenge. I can say with 100% authority that Bradley's photos aren't just beautiful; he makes the whole experience better. I had the good fortune of standing in my friend's wedding, and he was actually her photographer too. He's so calm and relaxed and easy to work with. That meant so much to me, because I'm a walking ball of nerves. He kept in contact with me in the months and days leading up to our wedding, and on the big day, he did not disappoint. In fact, because we developed such a good candor, he knew all of my insecurities and anxieties before the day, and he was sort of like my champion. He kept the photographs moving and didn't let anyone in the wedding party drown out my voice. He kept reminding me to breathe in between pictures, giving me breaks, and reminding me it was almost over. He even showed me shots on his camera to remind me it would all be worth it in the end. He didn't force me into shots or poses he knew would make me feel awkward and ridiculous, and I really appreciate that. He captured the day without staging it. Our friends and family RAVED about how on point he was. I've only gotten a few sneak peek shots back, because it's only been two weeks, but the pictures so far are BREATHTAKING. I'm so excited to get all of my pictures back. I can't say enough good things about the experience you get with Secondline, and I'd recommend them to anyone -

Nikki Sent on 01/21/2020Bradley is amazing
The first time i spoke to Bradley, i knew i wanted to work with him. Bradley is very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, easy to work, efficient and prompt with getting pictures back to you. My fiancé and I did our engagement pictures with him and he did our wedding photos. We had so much fun on our engagement shoot, bc Bradley makes you so comfortable. EVERYONE at my wedding raved about him, he mingled with my friends and family all night. My wedding pictures were
Absolutely stunning, my favorite part was that i could tell how much fun everyone was having. His work speaks for itself, he takes beautiful pictures and who he is as a person is the icing on the cake. I am happy to not only call him the BEST wedding photographer but i walked away making a forever friend. -

Amazing job shooting our swamp wedding!
Brad is absolutely incredible. We live in Chicago but were getting married down in Louisiana. He flew up to the Windy City to shoot our engagements and we had a blast! Neither myself nor my wife ever had any professional photos done, so we were a little nervous at first. Brad made it fun and easy but gave us the inspiration and direction we needed to get the BEST shots. Chicago is where we met and where we fell in love and I feel like he really captured that. Shooting with him on our wedding day was like second nature because we were already so comfortable with him. Brad did his thing, stayed out the way so it didn't feel staged but still gave us the guidance we needed. He also knew how much we love our dog, so he was sure to incorporate him in every facet in the most tasteful way possible. After the ceremony he whisked us away for private photo session which I will treasure forever. We did not do a first look so that quiet moment away from the commotion was invaluable and so sweet. He then single handedly herded my giant family into groups for photos and got some amazing shots as the sun set behind the live oak trees. Brad really went above and beyond for us and is so creative and helpful throughout the process. I cannot say enough great things about him and his company. Thank you Secondline Photography! We will cherish these memories forever. -

Kiley Sent on 08/04/2016My fiancé and I met with Bradley for our Fall 2017 destination wedding in New Orleans and he was so friendly, accommodating and full of suggestions. Having the inside scoop from him definitely gave us new ideas for our wedding. We looked forward to working with him, however due to a last minute date change the timing didn't work out. You would think that would be the end, but Bradley took it a step further and put us in touch with other photographers in the area which was a tremendous help. He put so much effort into helping "almost clients" and my fiancé and I are truly grateful.
