Other photographers required a minimum number of hours and a minimum package but Paige worked within our budget with the most reasonable rates as well as being flexible to our needs. We booked her for the rehearsal so we could capture our family in a relaxed fun atmosphere and the pictures from that time will be the ones we cherish forever. Paige was extremely kind to our entire family and all of our wedding guests. She patiently found ways to get even the youngest guests to participation in the pictures and captured the most brilliant and fun moments. She was extremely generous with her time and stayed extra hours to capture every moment. The pictures she captured exemplified the true joy of our rehearsal and our wedding. We are so lucky to have found Paige and will continue to use her for any photography needs.

From the start, you can tell how dedicated she is to her craft and the entire process. You feel like you have a true fighter in your corner when it comes to Elise Bennett. When our engagement photo shoot location got rained out she scrambled to find an alternative location and the photos turned out beautifully. She'll climb, squat, head-stand just to get the perfect shot!

We cannot say enough good things about Red M Studio. From start to finish, working with Marianne &…read moreSteve was an incredible experience, and hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our New Orleans "not a wedding" wedding. I found Red M Studio through a Reddit recommendation from another couple who loved their photos, and after seeing their work, I immediately understood why. We wanted to support a small business, loved their aesthetic, and knew we needed professionals who could capture something intimate and nontraditional without turning it into a production. Leading up to the day, Marianne & Steve were incredibly organized and thoughtful. We had both a phone call and a Zoom meeting where they walked through every detail to make sure nothing was missed. They even used Google Maps to virtually walk us through the French Quarter and talk through locations and timing. That level of preparation made us feel completely at ease. Our original plan was to elope, but as anyone who tries to elope in New Orleans learns, that rarely stays small. What unfolded was a joyful, intimate gathering we lovingly called our "not a wedding." Marianne & Steve captured every part of it beautifully, from exchanging vows privately in our hotel suite, to wandering the French Quarter on Halloween night, stopping at the Carousel Bar, befriending a very determined French Quarter cat, and ending the evening with a private dinner at Arnaud's surrounded by our favorite people. They truly understood the assignment. The photos feel authentic, emotional, and perfectly us. Nothing felt staged or forced, and we never once felt uncomfortable or overly "on display." The final gallery tells the story of the day exactly as it was: warm, a little spooky, deeply personal, and full of love. If you're getting married in New Orleans and want photographers who are professional, intuitive, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Red M Studio is exceptional. We will treasure these photos forever.

The photographer behind Twirl always suggests an excellent location and timing so you get magical photos. No surprise there: some of the historic photos published in the Times Picayune from the Katrina era were hers. Ditto some actors' head shots you may see in posters and programs for shows around town. She's even got a Pulitzer to show for it (the journalism, not the head shots). But enough about her background. You'll start with a dialogue defining what you want to come out of your session. Then when the time (and light) is right, meet up with Jenn for a dynamic photo session with a mix of carefully posed compositions and some carefree, "just look like you're running to the ice cream truck!" shots. It's busy but a lot of fun. Out of all that, expect some good choices for your album.

We met Amin at a Bridal show in New Orleans. After signing up for a contest, we received a…read morenotification stating that we won a free engagement shoot, which included 1 free print. We had a consultation for the engagement shoot, which included a consultation for wedding services (at the time we were looking to hire a videographer/photographer). Amin was adamant about skipping the free engagement session and adding it into our wedding package which would give us an additional 2 hours of coverage (since the engagement shoot is 2 hours as a stand alone service). He also asked us to prepare at least 3 outfits to change into. After reviewing the quote for the wedding services, we told Amin that we needed some time to make a decision. We then started to receive miscellaneous emails pressuring us to book his services at a discount. The emails were endless, and came from 2-3 different emails addresses. Some emails didn't pertain to us at all and the confusion became overwhelming. Out of frustration, as a new bride to be, I told my partner that I wasn't comfortable with booking someone who seemed so forceful and unorganized. By unorganized I mean the following. He would send repetitive emails asking us to book our consultation. However, we had already had a phone consultation weeks prior. I reached out to Amin informing him that we wouldn't be moving forward with wedding services, but we would like to continue moving forward with the free engagement session. Suddenly, the email stopped. I then reached out to see what we needed to do to schedule the free engagement shoot and how to prepare. Amin emailed me a few days later asking for dates/ times, locations and to create a vision board on Pinterest. We're not from New Orleans, so I asked for suggestions on locations, in which he provided. I did everything he asked of me and a few days later, I sent an email with dates and times as we discussed. He CONFIRMED and from that point forward there was no communication. Two weeks prior to the event, my partner reached out to Amin for additional confirmation. Amin told my partner that he never received a date, time or location from me. I forwarded the emails to Amin where he confirmed the date, time and receipt of our Pinterest board. I also told him the location (NOMA) which was his suggestion. He didn't respond to me for a few days. About a week prior to our shoot, we received an email with the date, no time, and location listed as City Park. NOMA (the museum) is located in City Park so I thought nothing of it. Realizing that the newest email didn't list the original agreed upon time, I asked if we could change it from 2pm (which is what he confirmed then said he never heard from me about a time) to 4pm. Amin confirmed and I thought we were all set. The day of, we get to City Park at the museum ( NOMA) then called him because he was no where to be found. He told me he was at Cafe Du Mondè, which is not what we discussed. Again, we aren't from the area, so it took us about 10 minutes to find his location. We pull up, and there's a huge gazebo, a playground and a lot of grassy areas. Let me not forget to mention, there were a ton of people, kids and dogs in the area. This didn't align with our agreed upon vision therefore, we weren't dressed casually and there was a current high wind advisory for that area. At that time, I told my partner that I didn't want to continue with the shoot. My partner had to walk the park and find Amin and by the time he was found, it was about 20 minutes past our shoot time. My partner asked what the mix up was and Amin stated that NOMA had to be paid for and we had to do a lot of walking because we only had 20 minutes left, since we were "late". When my partner confronted Amin about the time, he stated that we were only receiving 1 hour. I would like to add that NOMA is free on Wednesdays to anyone with a LA state license. I would also like to add that Amin never gave a clear indication that he would be anywhere else besides NOMA which is in City Park. Amin didn't communicate his location or that he wouldn't be meeting us at NOMA until we called him because we couldn't find him at NOMA. We are out of hundreds of dollars in preparation for this shoot and now we have to find someone else at the last minute. Amin is unorganized, rude, lacks communication in the areas that are relevant and specific to his clients (too many unnecessary automated emails), inconsiderate, irresponsible and lacks compassion. Everyone who gave Amin a 1 star review and labeled him as a scammer has been absolutely correct and I wish I would've read the reviews prior to communicating with him.
