This was such a fun bachelorette photo shoot experience! Working with Darren was a dream, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and clearly demonstrated a passion for photography and interest in people. Darren sent clear reminders a week and then a day prior to the event, and was also punctual on the day of in spite of the thunderstorm that rolled through New Orleans the day before. We were lucky to have a clear day the morning of the photo session and had a blast heading to various spots that Darren recommended where there would be minimal distractions or crowds. It was a group of 10 and we loved the photos! Strongly recommend Darren for your photography needs.

We hired Darren to capture our wedding in the French Quarter. He shot the chapel and walked through the quarter with us for an hour afterwards to continue the shoot in some iconic areas. He was incredible! From the start his response time was fast, he was knowledgeable and found an image of what I was looking for and attached it to the agreement. During the shoot he was professional, kind and funny. He was a blast to shoot with. The photos are exactly what I was looking for. He captured those little moments, let us use props, took so many photos to choose from and we love them all! 10/10 would recommend Darren!

Details: Bridal portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

“Working with Darren for my surprise proposal was a fantastic experience! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to capture the essence of our love story. His eye for detail and creativity truly shone through in every shot. Not only did he make my fiancé and I feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, but they also managed to capture those candid, raw moments that we’ll cherish forever. The photos turned out great, exceeding all of our expectations. Darren is not just a photographer; he’s a storyteller who perfectly encapsulates the love and joy of each moment. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”

Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Traditional posed • Natural or environmental • Artful composition and lighting • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

My now husband and I absolutely had a wonderful time with Darren! He fit right in with all of us. He’s punctuality, attentiveness and work ethic is unmatched. We spoke about what we were liking for photo wise and he definitely delivered! We are beyond happy with his work and highly recommend. He is kind and very funny. I would definitely book with him again. He also has great rates! Book him! You won’t regret it! -N.Washington
