  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $8,900
  • Serves Independence, LA

Five years ago, I was planning my own wedding and wanting a photographer I was compatible with and who could capture me and my husband without feeling terribly awkward. I found that! When the night was over, I told Albert, "I'm so glad we're married." I could sigh knowing those moments I would soon forget would be captured and documented. At AlesiaKim and Co, that's our values. We are a wedding planning, photography, and videographer team that are intentional about orchestrating and capturing real authentic emotions and smiles so those memories can be preserved for future generations.

I travel extensively to resort properties in the Caribbean and Mexico in order to gain the knowledge and build relationships with key people in destination.

From the beginning of choosing a resort, to going over the contract to communicating with me through the day of my wedding (and after), Mindi was fantastic. I love working with Beloved Getaways! I would recommend this company to any bride wishing for a smooth wedding process!

My experience with virgo beauty was great, they did a wonderful job with makeup and hair. I think the time management was a little rough though. We did have 2 people running very late so that was not their fault at all but communication could’ve been a little better with trying to have me start sooner getting ready when I said the others would be late. But overall they were great and very sweet.

I worked for North Photography before starting my own photography business. I was trained by the owner for years and the experience level he had was unmatched. When I am overbooked, they are the ONLY photographers I recommend. Working besides Ryan I saw a level of caring and skill that the other photographers in the New Orleans I had photographed for did not have. A few years back a wedding was running late due to the makeup artist running behind. Ryan stepped up and got the whole wedding back on track. I see why he joked he should have been a wedding planner. Awesome company!

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Welcome to Crimson Quarter Weddings and Events, your ultimate partner for a wedding that’s anything but ordinary. Based in the French Quarter, New Orleans, we offer nearly every essential wedding planning service in-house, making us your one-stop shop for unforgettable celebrations. We bring a modern, fresh approach—no outdated traditions or stuck-up attitudes here! From day one, we’re all about flexibility and ensuring you have exactly what you need, when you need it. And as your needs evolve, we’re right here with you, adapting every step of the way.

Brandon Thorn and Adam at Crimson Quarter Weddings went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless! One of the things that I loved right away about Brandon when I first spoke with him was his authenticity, friendliness and sense of humor. I knew immediately that he was a genuine person who really cared about getting to know me and my fiancé. As a result, we became friends pretty quickly and got to know a lot about each other beyond wedding planning-related tasks. I so appreciated this because it meant that I felt like I had an ally to help me navigate the wedding planning process. Brandon will truly support you and go to bat for you if there is a communication issue or conflict of interest with another vendor or venue. I learned as a bride that it is really important to have someone like Brandon who is there 100% looking out for your best interests. I also appreciated that while I hired Brandon as my Day-of-Coordinator, he did way more than just day-of coordinating duties, including attending meetings with my venue several months in advance. He also always answered my texts and emails quickly and communicated with me frequently. This made me feel secure knowing that Brandon really cared about me! On the day of the event, we had to move our ceremony inside due to rain, and Brandon and Adam worked hard to still ensure that the décor and other elements for the ceremony were still set up to look beautiful inside. They also worked with the venue to make some changes to the furniture layout in order to still ensure that the space was set up to make us and our guests have the best experience possible. They also did an outstanding job taking down the décor and cleaning up so that my new husband and I could enjoy our second line and afterparty without having to worry about going back to the venue to clean up. When we returned to our hotel room much later that night, all of our items, including personal items that we had left in the venue space, were all returned to us and neatly stored in our room. We really felt taken care of the entire time. On top of all of this, I really felt like the fee we paid Brandon was an excellent value for the service that we received. I compared Brandon's pricing to other Day-of Coordinators in the New Orleans area, and I can say with certainty that his prices are better that most of the competition, especially for the level of service that you will receive! I would 100% recommend Crimson Quarter Weddings to any bride, groom or individual wishing to host a party/event in the New Orleans or broader Louisiana and Mississippi area!

I didn't know it at first, but photography has often been a meaningful part of my life. My dad's prints of birds at the Audubon Zoo hung in our bathrooms, and I often wondered how he took them. By the time I was in high school, I regularly had a disposable in my pocket. It was exciting to capture those brief moments and the people in them, and still so to be able to look back. Connecting with others in a positive way has always been a passion of mine, and thankfully this compliments my role as a photographer. I hope to make a positive impact in this world through the lens, and would love to help tell your story.

Stephen was so lovely and accommodating, helping us make our short-notice elopement extra special and romantic. We were instantly so comfortable with him, and his ease and familiarity with the city made him the perfect scout for great images. We love the pictures -- they totally captured our vibe -- and spending time with Stephen felt like hanging with a fun friend. Everything you could want!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

We're Juliana & Brandon Polkey, full time digital and film wedding photographers based out of New Orleans, Louisiana! We have two kids, Eleanor and Colin. 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.

My husband hired Rae to capture our proposal on Bayou St. John and I fell in love with her work and how easy she was to work with during what can be the very stressful process of wedding planning. Rae is kind, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. We loved working with her on our big day and are so thankful for the beautiful memories she captured for us! Our wedding day would not have been the same without her. We are so pleased with the beautiful pictures and wedding album she curated for us and are so grateful to have had the chance to work with her!

We're a boutique wedding production company who prides ourselves on providing beautiful, memorable films for all of our clients that reflect who they are and what their wedding day truly was. We believe that a true wedding film should be more than just slow motion footage set to music. We want to capture the action, the sound, the entire feeling of the day. Your wedding film should let you see, hear, and re-live things as they happened in a unique, artistic way. We're not about artificially staging moments; we want to bring out the beauty in how you enjoyed and celebrated on the wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shannon and his team were just amazing - we loved our film, and I think I've probably watched it a thousand times. I love how he incorporated our celebrant's words from the homily into the whole video; it was so poignant and just puts me back in the moment whenever I put it on. He is the absolute best and we could not be more pleased with what he delivered.

Hey! I'm Megan Elizabeth full-time filmmaker and photographer based in the wonderful Laurel, Mississippi. Four years ago, I picked up a camera and jumped into filming weddings with Tyler as a way to spend more time with him on the weekends! We always joked that it was in my blood because my dad is an Emmy award-winning videographer, but fast-forward to the present, and I fell utterly in love with capturing our client's most intimate moments and took over our small business as my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
My goodness, where do I begin? Megan Elizabeth Films exceeded ALL expectations and truly made our wedding day a complete DREAM! We decided to plan a wedding in four months (!) and I was worried about trying to find the right vendors, especially because I lived in a different state than our venue. I knew I wanted to use local vendors, so I had to rely on the internet to find vendors who I felt would help to make our big day so special and exactly what I imagined it would be. Megan was the PERFECT FIT!! It is an understatement to say she completely knocked it out of the park - from the communications beforehand to the day of preparations, she was friendly, professional, and incredible with her work! Megan was so thoughtful; because of her extensive experience with filming weddings, she was able to help keep me from panicking over the small things (like when I got a little mud on the hem of my dress during pictures!) and she also made me feel 100% at ease throughout the stressful lead up to the ceremony. She is so easy to work with and I felt like I had known her my whole life! Not only is Megan the nicest person to work with, but her work is AMAZING. I cry tears of joy every time I watch our wedding video because it is beyond incredible. I can't even adequately describe how much we love our wedding video - it is so perfect thanks to Megan's creativity and talent. She is a pleasure to work with and will document your special occasion in the dreamiest way.
