Michael Caswell Photography

ased with the results. My father loved him and thought he was very polite and easy to work with as well. He shot my engagement photos and wedding photos. Highly recommend him!

time, I didn't even know Michael and Sara were there taking pictures, which allowed me to enjoy the day and evening without having to think about which pictures I needed/wanted to take. I also loved how the photos look so realistic. Michael's editing style makes sure that moments are captured clearly and without filters that may not age well.

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. 10/10!

stayed late to make sure he captured all our special moments. He brought Allison with him and they were a great team. So many incredible photos to choose from. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

positioning (much needed since we're definitely awkward with photos!!), and captured both formal shots and wonderful candids. We knew immediately during our engagement shoot that he was THE person to capture our big day! Fast forward a year and a half to our wedding day, and Michael was truly incredible. Ours was a Jewish wedding with multiple events leading up to the actual ceremony & reception, and he (+ his assistant) captured every moment with ease. He expertly and swiftly guided family members-- easier said than done when you're trying to organize 20+ family members, bridesmaids, groomsman, etc for formal group shots-- and kept on our wedding planner's timeline perfectly. Michael's magic comes from his ability to shoot timeless, artistic shots without you realizing he even took the picture. When we were walking down the aisle, saying our vows, out on the dancefloor, second lining, cutting cake, laughing with friends, and other countless moments from the joyous occasion, he was able to capture every moment flawlessly without being in our face or getting in our Guests' views. We could truly enjoy our event trusting that he was capturing it, without feeling the need to pose or ensure we were facing the camera at all times. We even had Guests come up to us after the wedding (even before seeing any photos!) complimenting his style and how wonderful it was to have such a skilled photographer navigating the event. Look no further and book Michael. You AND your guests will love him!

ke the wedding memorable. Barely noticed he was there but he got the best moments. A month after the weeding, we still keep looking at the pictures and laughing!

very important moment. I appreciated his creative eye and how he listened to my tastes and feedback - I didn't want to do a lot of overly staged/posed photos, and he made sure to capture the traditional classic photos but then stick to more candids. The end result is beautiful and I am grateful for his work. You won't go wrong choosing Michael!

h just that. He captured the shots without interrupting the flow of the day. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer with a great eye who is also subtle. His turn around of the photos was quick and he is extremely responsive to any questions. Highly recommend.

the happiest day of our lives, he also helped orchestrate and capture our friend’s engagement the next day! Turn around time is quick and efficient! Michael is also very attentive and responsive. Would definitely hire again!

estions on the event day as to where we wanted to have portraits taken. His work speaks for itself. Our elopement portraits were amazing and so many to choose from. He captured one of the happiest days of our lives and I am so grateful. You cant go wrong hiring him for your special day!

to work with during a stressful time. Can't say enough good things highly recommend!

l cherish his photos forever!

The collaboration was easy and produced beautiful pictures. I could not be happier.

ur expectations! Michael will now always be our go-to photographer for everything we need! I could not thank Michael enough for the amazing job he did! You can truly tell that he loves his job because it comes through in his work! He is truly so incredibly talented!

re the MOST SPECTACULAR wedding pictures! I would say his style captures all the emotion while seemingly still candid, exactly what I was looking for!

ne of our first meetings with Michael, I requested that I get a picture with my cats in my wedding dress. On the day of the wedding I forgot about this request, but he took the time to make sure we got the perfect shots. Also, for my bridal portraits he had the pictures ready within the week of the portraits. He does great work and he makes sure that all of your requests are met. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

r due to the pandemic. We did not think this wedding would take place this year however, it did. Two months before the wedding, we had to find another venue to host the reception due to COVID restrictions. Not knowing what to do, I reached out to Michael, and he immediately gave us a list of recommendations. Michael also kept us informed about the opening phases for the City of New Orleans and surrounding areas. Michael was very accommodating with all the changes made due to the pandemic. Seeming that everything was on track for the big day, Hurricane Delta decided to hit Louisiana the same weekend of my big day! The wedding ceremony was to be outdoors in a museum's courtyard and a backyard reception on Lake Pontchartrain. As you can imagine, I was nervous about the weather. Michael reassured that everything would be okay and was ready to accommodate any further changes. Luckily the weather was perfect on my big day! Being that we had two venues, Michael was with us all day. He felt like a part of the family. He captured so many beautiful moments from the wedding and reception. The sunset photos on the lake were amazing. We even did a day after photo shoot the next morning in the French Quarter and those photos were also great. His versatility and style are exceptional! We were awed by how beautiful our photos looked. Michael's style of photography tells a picturesque story and my photos are evidence of just that. He truly knows how to capture every moment regardless of how big or small. My photos vividly take you back to the exact moment during that day. We also received our pictures quickly in a few weeks. We were successfully able to have a small wedding safely during this COVID pandemic. It was already a challenge planning a wedding in New Orleans while living in Georgia, but the pandemic made things even more challenging. Michael helped us fulfill these challenges. I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing my big day. Michael is very personable and professional. He's an excellent communicator and is ready to answer any questions you may have. He will try to accommodate your wishes. Michael is truly a stand-up guy and his work speaks for itself. I highly recommend Micahel Caswell not only for weddings but for ALL your photography needs! You won't regret it!

ought of! My husband has already said that he wants Michael to take pictures for our family forever. We have already recommended him to friends that have used him for engagement pictures. His pricing is perfect and includes so much. I am so glad we picked Michael!!!

me to photographing our wedding. The quality of the photos was amazing - even the ones at night and in the dark venue - but beyond this he captured the various moments of our wedding day in such a beautiful way. The traditional shots of the bride/groom and wedding party were perfect - not too stuffy but still beautiful portraits! We love these, but my husband and I dearly cherish the pictures of the small moments throughout the day. Michael captured our personalities, details of the church and venue, and our friends and family so wonderfully. Looking back on these photos it is clear to see that they portray us in such an authentic way! He was also such a pleasure to work with. It never felt like he, or his team, were "in the way," particularly in the more intimate moments (like the bride/groom wedding suite photos). He was kind, attentive and flexible with us on the wedding day, and we are forever grateful! He even made sure we got photos with our beloved dog (yes, we are those people) amidst the chaos of the wedding reception, knowing that this was important to us. We can’t recommend him enough and are confident he would capture your wedding just as beautifully.

verywhere and made sure he captured the most important moments! He was very considerate by asking if there were any family/personal issues in order to not put anyone in an awkward position, that meant a lot to me!!! The pictures turned out wonderful and beyond my expectations! He is amazing!!

lly important via email and phone to plan for our wedding. Michael was very professional during the whole process. He sent price quotes, notifications of payments, a formal contract, and an on-going timeline of the wedding day that we can always update and edit so he knew exactly how to plan photos. He worked very well with our event planners the day of, and even brought an assistant to help him. His photos came out so beautiful, that we are going to have a hard time narrowing down there are so many good ones. He takes "in the moment" photos which are the best so you can actually re-live the moment how it actually was. His set up of our wedding album website is a great way to view, like ,and purchase photos and give access to our guests. I highly recommend using Michael, especially if you are doing a destination wedding in New Orleans.
