1216 Studio

Daryl and Elizabeth at 1216 Studio were the absolute best and made us feel so seen on our wedding day! They made it such an easy decision from the beginning by being so responsive and making it feel personal. On the day, they made sure to capture all of the shots we wanted (even remembering some I forgot about). They definitely made us feel like we had known for them a while so I was completely comfortable during all the photos - which are STUNNING. If you want photographers who make you feel like friends, make it super easy to get the best shots, make sure to get all the shots you want, and find incredible scenery/angles for great photos - I highly recommend 1261 Studio!!

Daryl and Beth are the absolute best! They made everything so stress free. They make sure they have every little detail covered and go above and beyond to make everything perfect!

Darryl and Elizabeth were a joy to work with. I met with them for my bridals as well and they were so pleasant and easy to work with. I had a dress malfunction and Elizabeth was literally always right there when I needed her to help pin it back. Loved this couple and their work. Would absolutely recommend!

We loved working with 1216 Studio. Daryl and Beth made our wedding a great one to remember with the amazing quality of images. They did my bridal session and they captured the best images! Everyone who has seen them, loves them. Best part Daryl captured a few with my parents, brother and my fur kid to always remember that day. The wedding day, starting with prep, Beth arrived on time and captured great memories of the bridesmaids and my flower girls and the ones with my parents I will cherish forever. The ceremony and reception pictures are beyond amazing! Thank you for a great job. If you are thinking who to hire for photography for an upcoming wedding..do not hesitate to reach to 1216 Studio; you won’t be disappointed!!!

We had to change our schedule once or twice and they were very accommodating to this. They captured things that I would have never thought about. I believe looking at my pictures I can see exactly how my whole wedding day went without skipping a single second. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants amazing pictures, and to capture the day/night

Daryl & Beth did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding pictures! They are very personable and have great vision and details. We have used them many times since our wedding.

Daryl and Beth are great at listening to your needs, adapting based on what you want, and making your photo event FUN! They were truly enjoyable to be around, which put my husband and I at ease.

Daryl and Elizabeth were SO wonderful and easy to work with! They’re very down to earth and professional and you can tell they have loads of experience. They made me feel at ease and well taken care of on my wedding day. Our pictures came out beautifully and we will treasure them forever!

I can't say enough about our experience with Daryl and Beth! We had originally booked them for our elopement in 2020 but covid had other plans for us! Daryl and Beth honoured our price agreement 3 years later (unlike our officiant who doubled her pricing despite being paid in full and promises to honour our contract) and did such an amazing Job with our photos! They were extremely accomodating when we asked last minute if they would be willing to record the ceremony for us as well as helping us pick the perfect spot in City Park for the big day! They were generous with their time leading up to the event and were all around amazing to deal with! I'm so glad my internet searches from Canada lead me to them! We can't wait to have some blown up images of theirs hanging on our walls for many years to come! Thanks for being so amazing you guys! ❤️

First and foremost, Daryl and Beth are super genuine people who make you feel right at home when you're with them. They treat you like a friend, not a customer, which allows you to relax and be yourself making for the best pictures. Not only are they professional photographers, but they were also great at advice on other wedding necessities, which helped make wedding planning less challenging. There is no need to stress out trying to prepare beforehand. You can show up with as many or as little ideas as you want for photos. They will take any ideas you have and make them perfect, but they also have so much experience that they know exactly what makes a perfect picture and will guide you the whole way through if you prefer. Most importantly, no idea you have is too difficult, goofy, or inappropriate for them. They know exactly how to capture any type of picture you want, and will laugh along with you while capturing the funniest moments. One of the most impressive things is their ability to capture candid moments when your genuine emotions are on full display. There are so many amazing pictures they captured of us just being ourselves when we weren't even trying to pose. These ended up being some of our favorites (although all the pictures they took were incredible). I highly encourage you to choose 1216 Studio as your Photographer so that your special moment, just like our own, is a dream come true.

It was so fun and easy to work with Beth and Daryl throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. Not only did they take so many wonderful photos, but they also did so much to make the whole experience so special for us. My now husband and I are usually a little awkward in front of the camera, but Beth and Daryl were always there to offer guidance and reassurance - they made the experience so comfortable! We also loved that they would model poses for us as a couple themselves (it was so cute!!)! Overall it was such a pleasure working with 1216 Studio - Daryl and Beth are wonderful photographers and the kindest people!

First and foremost, Daryl and Beth are super genuine people who make you feel right at home when you’re with them.

Daryl and Beth were beyond amazing!! My husband and I are from NY and we were planning our destination wedding in New Orleans. Typically, that would be challenging but they made it so easy! They are efficient, reliable and extremely talented!! The day was magical and seamless and I owe it all to Daryl and Beth! You guys are amazing!!

We fell in love with Daryl and Beth’s work from the moment we say their website. I realize this may not be enough for everyone to make such a big decision but we knew exactly what we wanted our photos to look like. Daryl and Beth were so professional and so accommodating from beginning to end. They held our hands and made recommendations along the way when we weren’t sure about the things we wanted or didn’t want. Fast forward to our wedding day—-it seemed like everything went wrong EXCEPT the photography! I was upset, my husband was upset but Daryl and Beth managed things well and still managed to take the most beautiful photos ever!! Once we got our photos back we were in absolute shock. They turned out amazing and we haven’t stopped looking at them since! We will forever be thankful to Daryl and Beth and recommend them over any other photographers you may have in mind! -Brianna and Rodney

Choosing Beth and Daryl of 1216 Studio to do our wedding photography was one of the best wedding decisions that we made. They utilized such unique aspects of our venue and captured so many moments with our friends and family that are absolutely priceless. My husband and I both usually look a little awkward and uncomfortable in photos however they made us look relaxed and effortless. We always feel self-conscious about photos of ourselves, however the wedding pictures they captured we would proudly put on a billboard! Thank you 1216 Studio!

Daryl & Beth are the dynamic duo couple of wedding photography! They went above and beyond to ensure that not only every aspect of our wedding day was captured, but also to ensure that everything stayed on track on the day of the wedding. We planned our wedding before COVID hit, and unfortunately once it did, we decided to delay it for a year— Daryl and Beth were courteous enough to allow us to change our date at no additional cost. The wedding photos themselves are amazing! All of the very special moments are captured, but the true highlight is how they were able to capture the vibe of the dance floor! Our wedding was a party party, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t be more pleased!

I recently had my wedding in November of 2021. Daryl and Elizabeth with 1216 Studio truly went above and beyond as my wedding photographers. I had great communication with them during the wedding planning process and following the wedding! They made my husband and I feel at ease. I am forever grateful to Elizabeth, who stepped in and actually helped me get into my wedding dress with all of the intricate detailing in the back. Both Daryl and Elizabeth captured the most meaningful and fun parts of my wedding day/night. They did not miss a beat or shot! I am so happy to have such beautiful and fun pictures to look back on. I will cherish them forever and I can not thank 1216 Studio enough. with love and gratitude, Megan Murphy Sutfin

Absolutely loved working with Daryl and Elizabeth! They were both so incredibly nice and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. It’s so obvious how much these two enjoy doing what they do! I’ve never felt so many emotions looking at photos of myself and my loved ones. They did such an amazing job I could go on and on!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Daryl and Beth for our wedding. We held our (postponed) wedding as a destination wedding in the French Quarter, and they were one of the only vendors we had a chance to meet in person. Leading up to the event, they were super responsive and helpful in assuring us they knew the venue, the other vendors and our vision, giving us peace of mind that everything would go smoothly. On site they took charge of the run of show, keeping things moving to ensure we captured all the shots we wanted from start to finish. We are so pleased with our photos (nearly 3000 of them!), all of which we retain printing rights to. That was super important to us, because we didn’t want to limit the amount of images we could print, share and display forever. In a city with countless talented photographers, I would hire Daryl and Beth again in a heartbeat!

We couldn't have had our day without Daryl and Elizabeth - they were such a dream to work with from our engagement photos to wedding day! They made our wedding day SO easy and stress free! I can't say enough positive things about them and how integral they were to how seamless everything went. They already had a shot list for us and we went through an order on a call about 2 weeks out, which was so helpful! They even helped me decide on a few things I wasn't sure of - it was great to ask their opinions on what they've seen done at other weddings. Also - their turnaround time for photos was QUICK! We got our wedding photos back in a month, which was amazing! I am in love with how they turned out. Book them now, you won't be disappointed!!

Beth and Daryl are amazing photographers as well as amazing people! Their passion for their work was evident in the quality of their photographs. They made us feel comfortable from beginning to end and were more than willing to help with so many aspects of the day! They gave great direction and at the same time captured all the best moments in action! Beth and Daryl were very easy to communicate with during the planning process. Our wedding coordinator commented on their professionalism and great communication as well. 1216 Studio was amazing to work with and we are so very happy with our experience with them!!

Elizabeth and Daryl did an absolutely amazing job capturing photos for our wedding day. They are so incredibly talented and creative! Our photos turned out so beautiful and better then I imagined. I would 100 % recommend them for any type of wedding!

Daryl & Beth are legit the greatest people you’ll ever meet! They were amazing to work with for our wedding. We had zero worries when it came to the photos for our wedding. They did such an incredible job that it’s hard to pick our favorite photo from the wedding!! Love them and recommend them to everyone!!

Daryl and Elizabeth were great and made the flow of taking all those awkward family pictures into a fun time. Once our family pictures we done, they drove us around the French Quarter to take pictures at some of our favorite spots. They also recommended some beautiful locations they knew while we were out. They borrowed us from the reception several times throughout the night to take pictures in different lighting as it got darker. They were just fun people, which made us have more fun on our day. If we’re ever in NOLA again needing a photographer, these are the two we’d call. Highly recommend them for your photography needs!!

I'm not quite sure where to start in putting into words how amazing Daryl and Elizabeth were to work with for our wedding. We live in Nashville, so I didn't have a chance to meet with them before the wedding, but through everything this year they were always there to see what dates were available when we had to reschedule, give me ideas for great pictures, and to keep me calm, cool, and collected that everything was under control. Honestly, on our wedding day (and with a groom that doesn't love pictures) I couldn't have been more thankful they were there. They fit right in to our family and friends dynamic and were there to capture every moment! I cannot recommend them enough and I know for SURE when we're in New Orleans and need pictures taken, they will be the first ones I call.

There are so many things to worry about for a wedding, but 1216 Studio ensures that your wedding pictures will not be one of them! These guys did an amazing job working with us on our wedding day. They gave great directions and let us know exactly what we needed to do. They were flexible on locations for the day of (hotel+venue), made sure we got the pictures we really wanted, captured everything perfectly, and really made us feel special and unique. The wife could tell I was super nervous and she helped me relax and laugh while getting ready. On top of all of that, they are so kind and willing to work with you on packages to personalize it for you and your family. We mostly communicated through email, and to get all of the pictures and the album took some time (Covid, our procrastination, etc), but everything was 100% worth the wait! If I need a photographer in the future, I will definitely use them again! I honestly can't say enough good things about this team!

We LOVED working with Daryl and Beth! They were so relaxed and down to Earth and made us feel super comfortable on our wedding day. They were also very responsive which was wonderful. The photos they took turned out flawless, and we will cherish them forever! We highly recommend 1216 Studio!!!

Amazing photographers! Made us feel very comfortable and our engagement shoot was so much fun and so easy. Highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have found Daryl and Elizabeth to do our engagement photos. They took SO many good pictures of us in our 30 minute session and the editing came out beyond fantastic. They had such a good mix of incorporating some of our ideas with theirs, and they took some fantastic pictures of us with our corgi too! Plus there turn around time was extremely fast. I can’t wait to use all of these for our save-the-dates, it’s definitely going to be hard to pick between them as they are all so good!

They were absolutely the best! Caught every important moment and were super nice & attentive to the shots we wanted.

Daryl & Elizabeth are amazing!!! From our first phone conversation I knew that's who I wanted to capture our wedding. I told them I didn't want too many posed shots but I wanted pictures that could be in an editorial and they delivered. They were with us all day but were never in the way. They are so personable and we felt so comfortable with them. Then the pictures were amazing, we received over 2000 photos! I truly believe we got our money's worth and then some! Book 1216 studios, you won't regret it!

Liz and Daryl were the absolute best!! We love that they really wanted to capture the vibe of our wedding specifically - we weren't just another client to them. They both truly want to make the photography unique to you as a couple and they definitely succeeded at doing that! We are so happy we chose them for our special day!

I cannot express fully how wonderful 1216 Studio wedding photography were for our granddaughters wedding. The time and extra effort they took to capture every precious moment was noticed by even our guests. I cannot wait to see the beautiful pictures they've captured during this happy time for us. Every request we made was done with such ease, and we were never made to feel like we were in the way, or bothersome. They were not just photographers, they fit in like guests and family. No wonder they have won so many awards! While we haven't had our first sneak peek, we know their work is exquisite from the engagement pictures they did for Caitlyn Wood and Calvin Wood. Thank you for your time and attention to every detail. We would recommend them for your engagement and wedding photography.. Oh, and they offer videography also! They offer the whole package! 💕

Beth and Daryl are such dolls to work with. Not only are they totally adorbs and such fun, they help to make even the silly poses fun. Daryl was diving on the ground while Beth was jumping up high to achieve the most amazing pictures. We have used them for a few different things and plan to use them even after our wedding. I would recommend them 1000 times!

One of the best decisions I made was choosing 1216 Studio as the photographers of my wedding. From the moment they arrived until the moment my wedding was over, Daryl and Elizabeth were at our sides helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives. They not only took our pictures but they helped the day run smoothly. A few days before my wedding they sent me a list of things I would need and an itinerary for the day. This was a life saver! (My wedding was the first time I was ever on time for something ;) ). They had a plan or solution for everything and anything that came up. I did not have to stress about ANYTHING I just enjoyed my day. They took the time to get to know my husband and I and truly captured our personalities. Not to mention they were so fun to hang out with I kept catching myself hanging out with them instead of my guest. They are the best you wont regret choosing them!

I cannot speak on our photos as we haven't gotten them back yet. However-I imagine they will be as magical as advertised on their instagram and website! What I will tell you, is you are seriously missing out if you do not hire Daryl and Elizabeth as your photographers. The most important advice we received prior to getting married was "spend the money on a photographer", you will not receive quality work for a budget photographer you've found on craigslist. 1216 is very reasonable for the amount of work they put into your day. They both arrived promptly when they were supposed to day of, had literally the entire day planned out for us (they said jump and we said how high). This alone took a ton of stress off our backs! Plus, they're very cool! They had plan A, B, and C for weather concerns, kept us in the loop, communicated frequently, and honestly we had a great time hanging out with them. They made sure that we had every shot we wanted, and added extra fun shots we didn't think of, they provided us with a schedule prior to our wedding, and really took care of our needs. They went above and beyond. Awesome people.

There is no one that would have ever been as great as they were. If I could rate them a million stars I would. They were professional but fun and made us so comfortable. They did our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and I just can't even imagine them being more perfect. I get so many complements on them. Elizabeth helped me with so much leading up to the big day and was always there for me. Daryl- oh Daryl... always the one to make you laugh and help you relax a bit when you're feeling uptight. They were always on time and I just can't say anything negative at all. I would suggest them to ANYONE I ever meet and would tell you you're crazy to consider looking anywhere else.

Love, love, love! I was hesistant at first because I didn't know exactly what I wanted - there's so many to choose from - but SO glad we chose them! They were referred to us by our wedding planners and booked we met them. They're super easy going, know exactly what's going on, gets to know you, responsive, and accomodating. We did engagement photos to get to know them before the wedding. They made us comfortable the whole time and even went a little over time just to get all the shots we wanted - SO many ideas. Aside from our planner, they will be the ones to make sure you everything on time, get things done, and that your dress, veil, tuxes, boutonnières are flawless. Beth even helped me decide on earrings to go with my wedding dress as I was getting dressed, ha! We got married on one of the busiest days in the Quarter and they still made sure everything went as planned and caught every single crazy moment!

Beth and Daryl are absolutely amazing!!! They really went above and beyond for us!! They were so easy to work with and flexible to meet our needs!!! It felt like we were working with our friends the entire time!! They worked well together so that my fiancé and I wouldn’t see each other until I walked down the isle. Beth helped me out so much when we were preparing for the wedding, it was great having someone who knew so much about weddings there with me!! And Daryl saved the day when our departure rental did not show up, none of our guest even knew that anything had gone wrong!!! They are the best!!! And I can’t say enough about our wedding photos!!! They were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! They look like something out of a wedding magazine!!!! They captured everything, I get to relive my wedding day every time I see them!!! I LOVE our photos!!! I’m so happy that I chose 1216 Studio to capture our special day!! Hands down, they are the best photographers in town!!!

1216 Studio was amazing from start to finish. The process was seamless and they were very accommodating and catered to our wants/needs. They were very easy to work with and even allowed for some awesome impromptu images. We are so happy that we chose them to take pictures of the best day of our lives. They were very fun and helped us choose great locations for our pictures and from the few that we saw they were amazing! When looking for a wedding photographer you cant go wrong with 1216 Studio! They are incredible. Very talented and artistic.

Excellent!!! When I tell you these are 2 of the most awesome people my husband and I have ever met, I MEAN IT! To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. We never felt like we were dealing with "vendors" at all during our wedding day. We felt like they were part of our wedding as friends. So professional, so responsive and SO AWESOME!!! Not to mention our pictures turned out so BEAUTIFUL. If you are looking for a awesome photography duo, they are you go to! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ♥️

Daryl and Beth were amazing from the very start. When meeting with them in their cute studio in August to discuss our wedding, we knew from the start that they were going to be amazing to work with. They were so organized and knowledgeable about the French Quarter and our venue that it made the rest of planning so easy. It was a bonus that they were a duo and we were able to meet both our photographers. When our wedding day finally came in February they were amazing! Having our photos taken was a little nerve wrecking, but Beth and Daryl made it so comfortable. They were everywhere taking photos and were able to capture so many great moments! We love our photos and couldn't be happier that we had the chance to work Daryl and Beth!

I LOVEEEEEE DARYL AND BETH!!!! They are the best photographers I have ever dealt with!!!! You cannot go wrong with using them. They are very creative and they made sure every shot I or my sister wanted we got! They did our engagement shoot, my bridal shoot, and our wedding. We also had an engagement video and wedding video done by Daryl's brother (I believe). I would give them 10 stars if possible. I loved my experience with them. I cannot wait to get all of the wedding photos back.

The love that my husband Lawrence and I share with Elizabeth and Daryl is out of this world. They truly captured the pure love that radiates from a bride during both the bridals and the day of prep. I can't wait to see the story they put together from the actual wedding photos. A month or two before the wedding we set up a final face to face meeting and created a timeline and we definitely stayed with the timeline the day of. This team is very punctual with time, you won't be disappointed. :)

AMAZINGGGGGGG!!! From my engagement shoot to the wedding, they were phenomenal. Most iconic husband and wife duo I’ve met behind a camera lens. Extremely professional, creative, respectful, timely, funny and down right THE BEST IN NOLA. They have forever customers in my husband and I just based off of their service. I know my photos and video will be phenomenal and I’m so happy I used 1216!

I can't say enough about Beth and Daryl. My mother was a wedding and portrait photographer for 25 years, so photography and high quality photos are super important to me, and I may be a bit of a tough critic. Beth and Daryl, who own 1216 Studios, were professional, funny, caring, and really know what they are doing. We felt so comfortable with them and they made those awkward moments during photos seem like second nature. We met with them prior to our engagement photos and hit it off right away. Our engagement photos came out amazing - we used two shoot locations. On the day of the wedding, they were with us for the whole day, starting with prep and did not leave until the night was over. Cut to the photos - OMG. They are amazing! They took a couple thousand photos and every one of them is frame-worthy. They captured all of the best moments and made sure to be there throughout the whole day. Leading up to our big day, they were super responsive, worked really well with our planner, and gave us a lot of direction and advice on the setup of the day. If you are looking for a photographer who you feel comfortable with, can laugh with (and at sometimes!), and just enjoy their company while at the same time getting some unbelievably beautiful photos, look no further. Daryl and Beth are it!

Literally the best photographers to work with! They’re excellent, flexible, and so amazingly helpful throughout the whole process. We couldn’t be happier they were apart of our big day!

In short, my family and I loved working with Daryl and Elizabeth. They were super-sweet from the moment we met with them at their studio. My sister can be hard to please, but I saw within minutes that she was pleased during our initial meeting with them, so I immediately put down a deposit. We had several months before the wedding, but Daryl and Elizabeth kept in contact. This prompted us to hire them for the rehearsal dinner as well. A couple of weeks prior to our wedding weekend, they eventually met my then fiancée who lived out of state. Similar to my sister, he instantly felt a connection with them and was more relaxed about the idea of having to take so many photos at our rehearsal dinner and wedding (ceremony/reception). In the weeks leading up to our wedding weekend, they worked with our "team" of vendors and venues to make sure that things would go smoothly on both days. On the day of the main event (i.e., the wedding), they spent about 12 hours with us. We were seamlessly able to take photos before the ceremony in the hotel, off site at Armstrong Park, and then more leading up to, during, and after the ceremony. Within a few weeks we received the thousands (literally) of photos that they took. Each one was truly beautiful. While it may not be important to everyone, on a personal note, I was impressed with their ability to take photos of black and brown people. As an African American, I have seen numerous photos by other photographers that make darker skin tones look "ashy." The beautiful shades of my friends' and family's skin glowed in all of the photos. In addition to our friends and family they were also able to capture many beautiful photos of the decor and other elements of our special day. We enjoyed working with Daryl and Elizabeth and appreciate how personable they were even though we were "clients." They were also very accommodating to my particular needs before, during, and after the wedding. We highly recommend them for large and smaller events, alike. Truly an awesome experience.

As Mother of the Bride, I can promise Elizabeth & Daryl to be the most talented, honest, hardworking and fun-loving couple you could work with in the city of NOLA for your wedding and bridal shoots. You may find many good photographers, but I assure Elizabeth and Daryl are the most dedicated and loyal.....they were there for us on 10/7 while "whimpy" storm Nate scurried out of NOLA quickly; almost ALL other venues and vendors were cancelling weddings all over the city, 1216 Studio were the first to call us SAT am to assure us hurricane or not, they would be their to photograph our daughters wedding and they were...any mother or father can understand the importance of having attentive & committed vendors and especially on a day like 10/7/17 when a hurricane is threatening to destroy your child's most important day. They even offered to return at no charge on Sunday if we wanted some outdoor shots not available to us on Saturday...amazing work ethic and kindness. Because of Studio 1216 and Hotel Monteleone, who also made things happen to make our special day possible, we were the ONLY night time wedding to take place in New Orleans (no thanks to the public officials who could have lifted the pointless curfew hours earlier as the storm changed courses). Amazing photos, extremely responsive the entire year prior to the wedding each time I called or emailed; creative, always flexible; never rushed during photo sessions....anything we needed or asked for, they were willing to accommodate. I promise, this couple is a FIRST CLASS team that will not disappoint. We are eternally grateful to Daryl & Elizabeth....true professionals and friends.

I cannot express enough how much I love Daryl & Elizabeth's work. Before I contacted them I could tell by their website that they were experienced and professional photographers. Then once we met with them and they photographed our engagement shoot we knew we had hit the jackpot. They have an infectious energy that really makes the taking the pictures a great experience. Their eye(s) for detail and artistic expression are unmatched a truly comes through on every single picture. We could tell that they really understood our personalities and the theme of our wedding and the pictures are the proof. We have so many amazing pictures from our big day and are so pleased we chose 1216 studios to capture some amazing moments. Our only regret is that we didn't add-on the videography!

Simply amazing! I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend 1216 Studio to anyone!

My husband and I knew from the first meeting with Daryl & Elizabeth that we wanted them to be our photography. They were so helpful and easy to work with the entire time. They didn't even mind getting rained on when we were out on our boat taking engagement photos and a summer storm decided to roll in. They even continued taking pictures in the rain. And now those are some of our favorites! They are so very talented and are very passionate about their work. We really appreciate that. We also had Daryl's brother do the videography. We love having the chance to re-watch our wedding day. He did such an amazing job as well. We highly, highly, highly recommend Daryl & Elizabeth. You won't find a better team.

Daryl and Elizabeth are an amazing photography duo! They are so professional, personable, and adaptable. We booked wedding photography with them and decided last minute to throw in engagement photos. They promptly fit us in with our schedule (we were an out of town couple). As it was our first photo shoot as a couple, my husband and I were very stiff and uptight. As the session progressed and we became more relaxed and they were definitely able to capture that change. As for the wedding day, we were able to meet beforehand and go over the timeline. Wedding day coverage was fantastic! They loved that I had built in time between the ceremony and the reception to go take group photos at a local park. All throughout the main events, you couldn't even tell they were there. However, at the reception, if there was a picture you wanted, all you had to do was grab them. We haven't gotten our wedding photos yet, but after seeing our engagement photos I knew we had made the right choice for our wedding!

Daryl and Elizabeth were an absolute dream to work with. During planning they were so helpful with recommendations and took great care of us as we were planning our wedding from out of state. Great communication and amazing customer service. The wedding day would not have gone as smoothly as it did without them. Their help with the timing of the day was so much appreciated, and they were so fun to work with! One of my favorite parts of the day was walking around the French Quarter taking our bride/groom photos with them. It was just us and the 1216 team and it was just like they were old friends of ours! I could not be happier that we had them as our photographers and would recommend them to anyone I know who is getting married in the New Orleans area!

We knew after our first meeting with Daryl and Elizabeth that we wanted them as our photographers. They are casual but professional. Communication was great during our engagement and they were even helpful when we asked for suggestions for other venders. On the day of, they were prompt, efficient, and easy to work with - Elizabeth made me feel very comfortable. My husband and I just received some sample photos from our wedding day, only a couple weeks later. So happy with their work!

I can't say enough about 1216 Studio. Elizabeth and Daryl did an AMAZING job, and I can't thank them enough. Seriously, this wedding wouldn't have been what it was without them. They are willing to bend over backwards to help you, and work together as a team to create BEAUTIFUL images! They are phenomenally priced for the wonderful work they create! If you don't book with them, you're making a HUGE mistake!

Seriously top notch. Daryl and Elizabeth went above and beyond my expectations and transformed my own vision for my wedding. We have some amazing, inspiring and unforgettable moments captured beautifully to hang in our home and I could not be happier. My husband and I have different personalities and they captured everything seamlessly. They even got a photo of my husband's face when he saw me for the first time walking down the aisle - priceless! I highly recommend this amazing duo. Not only are they professional, they are a joy and pleasure to work with!

There is not enough to say about 1216 Photography other than they just get it! From the minute we walked into their studio to ending of our second line, Daryl and Beth understood our vision for the wedding and worked alongside to make it even better. As we were planning our wedding from NY/NJ, we were lucky to find Daryl and Beth as they made the planning process a cinch with frequent replies and a number of concference calls. Not only incredibly organized, the entire 1216 team worked with a 30+ person wedding party from NYC (you can only imagine how difficult 30 New Yorkers could be to work with…then add alcohol!!!) to efficiently move along photo setups and locations. And when it came to the ceremony, it seemed like every time we turned around, either the videographer or one of the photographers was right there to take those candid shots we wanted. To top it all off, the drone hovering over our cocktail party and second line was just so cool. I promise you, there is no other photo/video vendor you should seek out in the Big Easy… Can't wait to see the final product!

Daryl and Elizabeth are an AMAZING team, and they helped us ensure that our wedding went perfectly. It was like having two good friends follow you around on your day, taking INCREDIBLE pictures, while remaining consummate professionals and ensuring that everything went exactly to plan. They took care of all the details, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day! What's more, we took some SUPER COOL pics throughout the French Quarter and the venue, and Daryl and Elizabeth were full of ideas and suggestions, while also allowing us to add our own personality to the shoot. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH!

1216 Studio made my wedding day absolutely AMAZING!! Daryl and Elizabeth truly captured all the amazing moments of my special day. My husband and I had a really small wedding with only our parents and siblings present. I had my wedding at a French Quarter restaurant and I really wanted my pictures to reflect a New Orleans/French Quarter wedding. Because I didn't have a bridal party, I didn’t really expect to have a “fun” pre wedding morning, However Darryl and Elizabeth were so amazing and so genuine that I had the best pre wedding turn up ever. Elizabeth kept me calm and comfortable as she captured intimate moments with my mom and I. She also kept me laughing. There was a moment where my mom needed help getting me in my dress and Elizabeth totally stepped in and offered assistance ...all while taking pictures!! Elizabeth wore so many hats that day...she was my photographer, my confidant, and wedding expert (I had no idea how to wear my wedding band and she quickly told me the band is closer to the heart...I absolutely loved her!). Daryl was just as fun. When he left my bridal suite to go take pictures of the groom, he gladly obliged when I asked him to deliver a tequila shot to my awaiting groom. After my brief wedding ceremony, Darryl and Elizabeth took my husband and I on a photo shoot throughout the French Quarter and it was absolutely EPIC!!!! Not only do they know how to capture the best shots, they know how to have a good time!!! We had soooo much fun and they captured all of these priceless moments. If I had to sum up a description for 1216 Studio, I would have to say that they take amazing photos while totally blending in with the wedding party. They are sooooo nice and genuine that my family thought that we were all old friends. The pictures that they capture are simply captivating, artistic, and organic. I cannot thank 1216 Studio for my amazing pictures, but also for their wonderful work ethic and personalities. I am BEYOND pleased!
