“Desiree Menotti Photography was an absolute lifesaver for our wedding day. From the moment we first connected, Desiree was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth. She took the time to really understand our vision and needs, and was willing to go the extra mile to make it happen - even traveling all the way from Mississippi to Seattle to photograph our wedding when our original photographer cancelled just two weeks before the big day. Desiree's attention to detail and professional, quality work resulted in beautiful photos that perfectly captured the joy and magic of our special day. The quick turnaround on our photos was an added bonus that allowed us to relive the memories right away.

I am a photographer in Southeast Louisiana specializing in portrait photography and wedding photography.. If I'm not behind the camera shooting wonderful love stories, you can catch me watching baseball. Geaux Braves!! Words of affirmation is my love language in any relationship, so I can guarantee that I will be your hype woman during our sessions. Lettering and drawing on my iPad is one of my current obsessions. I'm a total beginner, but it is sooo relaxing. Grant and I are thrift shoppers and always down for a trip to Goodwill, Dirt Cheap, or the State Auction (which is where I got my first camera!).

“Sarah photographed our intimate, backyard wedding and we could not have been more pleased. Not only was she professional but so pleasant and friendly. She exceeded our expectations. She captured moments that I will cherish forever. To top it all off, Sarah was so reasonably priced.”

Hi, I'm Kayla, a Louisiana Photographer that will travel anywhere! I introduced myself to photography by taking a trip to Israel in college I was selected to attend. I purchased a cheap camera for the trip, came home and was suggested to start taking photos. Well, after telling myself no, here I am! I love meeting new people and getting creative with a camera in my hands. Photography just so happened to fall into my lap God. I am also a college graduate from University of Louisiana at Lafayette with bachelors degree in finance. I know, way off from Photography, lol! I’ve now been photographing for 7 years. I love, LOVE on camera!

“Kayla Lazard Photography was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. Their communication was excellent and extremely fast, which helped put us at ease during the planning process. The quality of their work was breathtaking - Kayla recommended our videographer and together they were outstanding, making everything easy and simple and maximizing the little time we had. When our engagement photo shoot location was rained on, Kayla found us an indoor location at the last minute and our pictures came out great. On our wedding day, she did an excellent job capturing every moment and was always in the right position for the best photos. Kayla is truly the best and we are over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out.”

We've been photographing weddings for 10+ years and love every minute of it! When we're not working, we love traveling to any place that includes hiking, wine, and carbs!

“We truly cannot say enough great things about Peony Photography!! I had met them through a bridal event and instantly fell in love with the style and quality of the pictures they had on display. We wanted pictures that captured our personalities and were filled with moments we could treasure for a lifetime. They took both our engagement photos (which involved climbing onto the roof of a building) and wedding photos (both my husband and I are terrible at posing for pictures) and could not be happier with what they were able to capture. They are easy to work with, very thorough, and willing to work with you to really make your vision come true! After the wedding ends, the pictures are really all you have to document the special moments of the night. And we could not be more thrilled that we chose Peony Photography to capture those memories for us.”

We are a photo and cinema team. Our niche is weddings, fashion and quinceaneras. We love what we do and our foundation is Jesus. Without Him we would not be here. We are a destination team as well. We travel the U.S. and abroad.

“Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.”
