Chantae and Jack’s wedding day started out with some getting ready shots at Hotel Mazarin, then we headed over to Jackson Square, where the couple shared their emotional first look. After some portraits of the two of them and the formal group shots, we headed back to Hotel Mazarin for the ceremony in the beautiful courtyard. The reception was a blast, though there was one particularly poignant moment when Chantae led Jack over to see the cake she had secretly arranged for him, featuring a photograph of his beloved dog who had recently passed away. The party ended in true New Orleans fashion, with a second line around the room!

The bride had these nice words for me:
As out-of-towners, we had the distinct pleasure of working with Michael Caswell as our photographer for our destination wedding in New Orleans. We were tremendously blessed to have been able to secure his services. Michael is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. In preparation of our wedding, he maintained open communication to address our concerns with knowledge, grace, and insight that made the planning of photos easy from afar. Michael is an ambitious and highly talented photographer, whose passion for photography is evident from the outstanding quality of his wedding photos. His exceptional eye for detail forever captured the most intimate moments of our wedding day, from our first-look in Jackson Square to our courtyard ceremony at Hotel Mazarin, and moved us to tears, as we were able to relive those cherished moments with our family through the sheer beauty of his photographs. The only “challenge” we’ve incurred is trying to select only fifty (50) of the best photographs to place in a wedding album, which speaks to the quality of Michael’s work. Michael Caswell’s photography made our wedding a truly unforgettable experience! We recommend his services to any bride and groom wholeheartedly, with no reservations. You’ll be glad you chose him!
