Planning a New Orleans Elopement
So, you’re thinking about eloping in New Orleans? Great choice! As a wedding photographer with over 12 years of experience, I’ve seen countless love stories unfold in this city, and I can tell you—there’s no place quite like it for a romantic elopement.
1. Choose Your Spot
New Orleans is brimming with picturesque spots for your elopement. From the charming French Quarter to the serene beauty of City Park, or even a cozy garden venue, the options are endless. Want something a bit more unique? Consider a stunning balcony overlooking Bourbon Street or a hidden courtyard in the Garden District.
2. Get the Permits
If you’re eyeing a public space or a popular spot, make sure to check if you need any permits. Some locations require a little paperwork to keep things smooth and hassle-free. Trust me, it’s worth taking care of this early on to avoid any last-minute surprises.
3. Dress for the Weather
New Orleans weather can be a bit unpredictable, so keep an eye on the forecast. Light, breathable fabrics are your best friends, especially if you’re planning an outdoor elopement in the warmer months. And don’t forget to stay hydrated!
4. Capture the Moment
You’ve got one chance to capture these special moments, so don’t skimp on photography. With a decade of experience, I can tell you that the magic of New Orleans deserves to be preserved in beautiful, high-quality images. Think candid shots in the lively streets, intimate moments in quiet corners, and all those little details that make your day uniquely yours.
5. Celebrate with Local Flavors
After the “I do’s,” why not celebrate with some local flair? Grab a beignet from Café du Monde, toast with some champagne at a French Quarter bar, or indulge in a romantic dinner at one of the city’s renowned restaurants.
