Courtney LaSalle Photography

  • Serves Lake Charles, LA

My heart has always been one of ROMANCE and all things LOVE! Emotions, Connection, and Love literally light me up inside, I truly and wholeheartedly believe between my long talks with God and my own marriage that's what brought me to working with couples - whether it’s date nights, engagements, elopements, weddings, or “just because” sessions - it is all a dream come true for me.

Courtney is by far one of the easiest photographers we have ever worked with! She was so personable, and we felt like we had known her for years. She has SO many neat ideas, and the pictures she grabs are not just photos but memories! You can look at EVERY picture and feel the emotion and it’s a moment captured forever. There’s no awkward posing/standing, but her personality is what makes her abilities shine. Her pricing was SO reasonable and is able to work with any budget! The turn around was so much sooner than I expected!

Hi, My name is Kaylan Ivy and I'm a visionary. I thrive in the most creative settings and enjoy making others dreams a reality. My passion for photography and videography started when I was working in the ministry many years ago. When you work at a church you are often required to wear many hats. One of my hats was filming video announcements and making camp videos for youth and children's church. Over the years my talent grew, my skillset became stronger and I soon felt confident enough to start my own business.

Awarded Best of Zola
So super grateful I met Ivy House at a bridal show last year. From our engagements, to my bridals, and wedding day everything came out exactly the way I wanted. You can tell they truly love and care about each of their clients. They’re basically part of the family now.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

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.

Hi! I'm Hannah! I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I'm passionate about photographing weddings because my marriage is one of the most important things to me. I feel a wedding is about celebrating the relationship you've already built and kicking off the marriage you want to create! I'm a wife, a dog mom, and a steadfast believer in love.

I've known Hannah professionally for around 3 years now. She is devoted to her entire client experience from the moment they contact her to even after she's sent them their photos. Their satisfaction is of the utmost importance to her, and I've learned so much from her. She's also incredibly easy to get along with and her calm, cool and collected temperament is so appreciated during what can be very high intensity situations like wedding days. Not to mention her quality of work is superb. Her crisp, clean style is never less than exceptional and beautiful!

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

I’ve worked with Melinda twice now. My husband and I wanted to surprise his mom with family portraits since she’s been begging for this for years. She didn’t want to be in them, but wanted all her kids and grandchildren to take photos together. She was wonderful with the kids and showed so much patience. The photos turned out beautifully! Our second session was on a cliff that we hiked a short hike to have these gorgeous photos taken on. It was the fall (right when the leaves where changing) and it was just perfect! These photos were to makeup for our wedding day photos that we didn’t get to have done because we were lead to believe that my husband’s uncle would be taking them for us, which really didn’t happen as planned. We told Melinda what type of backdrop we wanted and she hit the nail on the head with the location she chose for us. She worked with our tough schedule and showed up on time. We didn’t know anything about posing for photos and wanted them to look very natural, she told us where to move, stand, etc. and the photos turned out just perfect! We had so many compliments on them! I’m a bit nervous when people “stare” at me. Makes me feel weird but I didn’t feel that way with her, she honestly made us feel so very comfortable. I didn’t feel as if she was judging me and she didn’t make me feel like I was doing everything wrong. She was so very patient. She’d ask if she could touch my arm to move me, she’d say can I move this strand of hair hanging in front of your face, and etc. she was just very helpful all around. My husband at the time had a mole on his head, he was very self conscious about it. He asked her to remove it if she could from any photos it shows in and she did exactly that and you could never even tell it was there! When we need photos again we will definitely work with her. She’s such a blessing to work with. Melinda is very reliable, professional, down to earth, knowledgeable, punctual, patient, and friendly!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

From the moment we met Sarah, to today, I have to say Sarah is not just a photographer...she's a memory creator, unspoken coordinator, friend, and even family. Sarah is the type of photographer that you are surprised is as amazing as she is because she can balance being fun, professional, staging, and capturing EVERY SINGLE perfect moment. We've just started going through our final wedding photos, and are shocked to go, "Wow how did she get that photo?!" During the event itself, Sarah made sure to talk to everyone to stage for every photo we wanted, and she captured every detail of the venue perfectly. She also spent some of her time making sure my husband and I had EVERYTHING we needed to have our special day. Sarah is by far one of the best vendors I've ever worked with, and will be a consistent photographer of ours until the day she retires. Do NOT let her get away from doing your event!!!!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Lake Charles, LA for additional fees

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was such a pleasure to work with. Me and my partner often find it hard to really connect and feel comfortable in front of the camera yet she made us feel right at home. Would 100% recommend and do plan on working with her again in the future.

Steve DeMent Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Lake Charles, LA for additional fees

Born and raised in Houston, I moved to Austin, Texas in 1998. This vibrant city has become my home, as well as an essential part of who I am. I bring a sense of at-home-comfort and ease with me, even when working in far off locations around the world. I began my professional photography career in the magazine industry, shooting for publications all over the world. I quickly found that weddings brought me so much joy, that it has become my full time passion. I get to be with couples on their happiest day and capture moments that will be remembered for a lifetime,

Steve shot our engagement photos and our wedding and we could not be more thrilled with his work. For weeks after the Save the Dates went out, we were getting calls from family and friends about how amazing we looked. On the wedding day, he was fantastic to work with. We were both a bit nervous being in front of the camera, but he helped us feel at ease. The pictures of us look natural and more importantly, they feel true to the way we are together. Steve was easy to work with, flexible, prompt - everything you'd want in a wedding photographer. We've discussed having a big anniversary party every year and we plan on booking Steve for those as well!

  • Serves Lake Charles, LA for additional fees

I love mexican food, cats (and dogs!), and iced coffee. Books are my best friends, and I also double as a yoga teacher when I'm not doing photography related things. I have a weird obsession with fuzzy socks and I prefer movies over TV shows. Now on to the typical things you want to know about my journey in photography...I got my first camera in 2009 and basically haven't put it down since! I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

Awarded Best of Zola
She is the most talented and down-to-earth photographer and person! She was a breeze to work with and I never had a worry about her. She delivered the best pictures and her style fit mine perfectly! I am so so so happy we went with her and now my husband and I have our photographer for life!

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.
