Thanks for visiting! My name is David A. Smith, and I’d love to photograph your bridal portrait session, and, hopefully, eventual wedding, in the beautiful location of New Orleans, Louisiana!

Giving couples dreamy film-like + cinematic-style photography is something I’ve had the pleasure of doing since 2010.

Most importantly, though, I want to make sure you have a wonderful experience on what should be leading up to one of the happiest days in your lives!

While I have photographed lots of bridal sessions over the years, I really love the bridal sessions in beautiful and adventurous locations.

This is because the bride can really focus on herself in these photos. They can also focus on this while having a gorgeous backdrop for their pictures.

That’s why I’d love to document your intimate bridal session anywhere throughout New Orleans, Louisiana!

I’ve been a wedding + elopement photographer since 2010, and I take pride in the fact that I can also help coordinate a bridal session and a wedding for my couples.

If you need any assistance in planning, travel arrangements, scheduling, or any other situation that might arise, I’m here to assist.

New Orleans has such beautiful locations that I don’t want you to worry about anything. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy this incredibly special time.

I’m here every step of the way for you and your partner!

Ever since I started doing wedding + elopement photography professionally in 2010, I’ve wanted to tell the entire story of my clients.

That means, if you choose me as your wedding photographer, I will not impose a time limit on your wedding + elopement day.

You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the day and/or reception are covered.

Because I’m devoting my attention to the entire day, and am usually traveling to document your celebration, I cannot offer pricing by the hour. Everything is based on a full day’s coverage, regardless.

All couples receive the following:

• Full wedding day coverage: No time limit. You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the reception are covered

• High-resolution photos delivered “out of the camera” (edited only for cropping and exposure), two edited color versions, and a black and white version.

• Full print rights to the photos.

• A private password-protected gallery to view, download, and share your photos

• A complimentary wedding weekend couples session + rehearsal dinner coverage (If applicable)

• Storybook wedding album

• $100 print/product credit

• Coordination assistance

• All travel considerations included

Larger wedding celebrations will receive a complimentary engagement session, bridal session, boudoir session, or 2nd shooter. 

Engagement sessions, bridal sessions, boudoir sessions, and 2nd shooters are also available on an a la carte basis. Pricing depends on the location and date, but most can be complimentary.

My price for an elopement or micro-wedding celebration starts at $2500. The price for a larger wedding celebration starts at $4000. Guest count, wedding party size, the scale of the celebration, and other factors will determine the overall price.

Because all celebrations are different, please inquire directly for a personalized quote based on the date, location, and specifics of your celebration.

Lower-priced options might be available depending on the circumstances, such as a celebration not taking place on a weekend date.

Since I believe in telling the full story of the wedding day through still photography and cannot work more than one wedding in a day, I do not offer “by-the-hour pricing” or videography services.
