As much as I enjoy photographing events in New Orleans and elsewhere in my home state of Louisiana, I also love having the opportunity to document weddings at venues throughout the state of Mississippi, and am available for portrait sessions as well. This gallery page features some of my favorite wedding photographs specifically from the Gulf Coast area and elsewhere in Mississippi. Please also view my broader portfolio of wedding ceremonies, receptions, couples, and details.
Being based in Slidell, Louisiana, which is just a few minutes from the Mississippi state line, I am available for Gulf Coast weddings and portraits in cities and towns like Gulfport, Biloxi, Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Pass Christian, Diamondhead, and Ocean Springs.
I am also available to photograph events in other areas of Mississippi, such as Jackson, Pearl River, Hattiesburg, Picayune, and Carierre.
I do not charge travel fees to any of these locations. Some of my favorite Mississippi wedding venues at which I've photographed events and portraits include Norris Oaks (formerly known as The Barn at Sarah Bella) and The Henry Smith House in Picayune, The Villa in Carriere, Gulfport Yacht Club, Slavonian Lodge in Biloxi, Grass Lawn in Gulfport, Oak Crest Mansion in Pass Christian, Bay-Waveland Yacht Club in Bay St. Louis, and Canebrake Country Club in Hattiesburg.
Here are a few of the compliments my Mississippi wedding couples have given me over the years:
"I got married on January 29, 2022 in Picayune and just wanted to say that Mr. Caswell is wonderful! From start to finish I could not recommend him enough. He is one of the few vendors who has an answer to every question I could think of on his website. I'm the type of person that pays attention to the little details and he was the only vendor that I had to ask just one question: are you available for my wedding day? I am SO happy he was!
Mr. Caswell was fantastic to work with. He even met us at our outdoor ceremony location so we could determine what time of day would have the best light for our ceremony and our family portraits afterwards. Our wedding day was wonderful! We got our wedding photos back recently and we love all of them! It is going to be hard to decide which ones we want to print, frame, or put in an album because they are all so beautiful."

"I received the book last week! I absolutely love your work! Thank you so much for capturing my special day."
— Rachel & David, Oak Crest Mansion Inn, Pass Christian
"Michael Caswell is a wonderful photographer! He is so easy to work with and get in touch with. I'm so lucky he was available for my wedding date, I had been following his work for years!"
— Shannon & Colton, St. Michael’s Catholic Church & Slavonian Lodge, Biloxi
"First of all, I just have to tell you one more time how MUCH I appreciate the amazing, amazing job you did at my wedding, rehearsal dinner, and bridal portrait. I haven't seen better work from anyone. The more I look at each of your photos, the more impressed I am."
— Lauren & Will, Canebrake Country Club, Hattiesburg
"Absolutely wonderful!!! Love these pictures!!! Thank you again for coming and helping us capture these wonderful moments!"
— Jesica & Laurence, St. Michael's Catholic Church & Grass Lawn, Gulfport
"Jeff and I have looked at our wedding pictures online, and we absolutely LOVE them! They all look gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier with your work... you are by far the best photographer I've ever used. I really love that you were able to capture all of our special moments so beautifully without stopping us and getting us to pose. I was actually surprised when I looked at how many great pictures there were because I rarely even noticed you taking them!"
— Heather & Jeff, Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cathedral, Biloxi
