We will laugh a lot, dancing at your wedding and hype you up because it’s your day and you deserve the best experience EVER.

Winnie is absolutely amazing!! We had our wedding back in November 2023 and she went above and beyond to ensure that we got photos of all the small details that we weren’t even tracking. Winnie is so fun, talented, and professional! We absolutely loved our wedding gallery, which she delivered expeditiously! We can’t wait for our maternity photo shoot with her and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Winnie!

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.

Hey there! We are David & Kirstin Hebert, a husband and wife team who are living our dream. Being behind the camera gives us a feeling that no other career can. We have been sharing life for 20 years and now share the fun with two amazing kidos, Evan and Adriana. What more could we ask for? Life is good! We love life. We love family. We love friendships. We love adventure. We love people. We love animals. We love travel. We love cameras. We love food. We love nature. We love smiles. We love LOVE! And we love capturing all of it! We are super laid-back and will make sure that your experience in these special days is our number one priority!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with DK Hebert! We first met them when taking our engagement photos. They met us for a couple of drinks first to get to know us and learn what our expectations were and then we started the shoot. Kirstin was great at directing at us and making us feel at ease in front of the camera and David had a lot of creative ideas so that our shoot didn’t come out looking too cookie cutter or posed. We were looking for photographers in Louisiana who knew how to take photos of brown skin and edit it as well without making us look too orange or making our skin appear lighter. We were amazed with the photos that came back. It looked like a work of art. We shot for almost four hours with an outfit change and David and Kirstin basically took photos the entire time as we walked around downtown Baton Rouge and the state Capitol grounds— so we had a ton to choose from. Seeing our engagement photos really helped us trust them and be excited for our wedding photos. They turned out better than we could imagine. We no longer live in Louisiana but want to use their services again in the future and will travel to do so! I recommend them to any newly engaged couple or family who wants to update their photo albums. We also got a few sneak peeks back within a couple of days after our wedding and the entire album was sent to us about a month or so after. Kirstin would also send me her favorites as they were editing. The constant communication was wonderful. 10/10 recommend!

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.

Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

I’ve been doing photography since 2012. There has definitely been a lot of growth and sold cameras through out the years. I’m 100% self taught and I believe that shows in my work. I’m a learn by doing type person. I’m an introvert and somewhat reserved, but I can guarantee I will make some stupid joke that will make you laugh. I enjoy natural light and playing with the sun. I’m a big fan of the unconventional photos that most photographers say no to. I love love. It doesn’t matter who you are, who you love, I want to tell your love story.

Cece and her husband Ben from Ringuette Photo Co. were truly wonderful to work with! She was so communicative and was always available to answer any questions. They suggested the most perfect place to take my bridals and the photos turned out AMAZING! We had a blast with them and can't wait to see our wedding day photos!

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.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Chances are, you landed on this page because you’re looking for remarkable wedding photos that not only challenge the status-quo, but also serve as a unique and special family heirloom.

Hi, I’m Shelby, a wedding & elopement photographer with a love for travel and a sparkly, lively personality. I’ve had the privilege of working with couples across various destinations, bringing my energy and passion to every celebration. Raised in New Orleans, and now based out of Alabama, I service multiple southern regions. I believe in creating a genuine connection with my couples, making them feel relaxed, heard, and truly seen on their big day. Weddings & Elopements can be chaotic, but I’m here to guide you through every moment—from the first look to the final dance—capturing all the love, joy, and raw emotion in between.

***LONG REVIEW! Not Sorry! The photos I have of our day are far better than I could have imagined and Shelby was the best to work with. It is not just the amount or the quality of the photos you get with Shelby, but her customer service is above and beyond. She met with me in person 3 times to help settle my nerves and I couldn't have been more grateful. Shelby was so understanding and no vision I had was too outlandish or too much trouble. She communicated in a transparent, deliberate way, but was never pushy or disrespectful. I interviewed multiple photographers and truly, we just meshed well together. Shelby is unique and her sparkle really shines during the chaos, handling it like a BOSS! We had a military wedding and let me tell you, she handled it. I learned that she also only takes 3-4 weddings a month to really prioritize her clients and let me tell you, it shows so much! She got us sneak peaks within a week and the full gallery was delivered in 4 weeks. Look, I could have easily been classified as an "intense" bride and Shelby reassured me all day and reminded me that I was allowed to enjoy my day. Truly, I didn't just hire a photographer that day, I hired a trusted friend and we have already planned our 5 year anniversary photos in Italy with her. I know this review is a lot, but if you are looking for a photographer (that essentially has the 2nd MOST IMPORTANT role on your wedding day), that will give you more than a camera click and congratulations email, then SHELBY IS YOUR GIRL!!! Just talk to her! She shoots you straight and can help so much! Also, last thing, she respected our privacy. Our gallery was delivered via USB because we can't have personal photos of my husband on the internet. You will also not see them anywhere on her socials or website and they were not shared with other vendors, per our request. Yes, military family here. We trust her and you can too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!
