Michael Caswell Photography

to future couples!

the reception, yet he takes so many great candid shots. Highly recommend working with him! 

otography to anyone looking for an easy-going professional photographer.

I would recommend him ten times over!!

s turned out great! I highly recommend him if you want a professional for special events.

are not local and he was able to accommodate our schedule to get engagement photos in over a visit. During our photo sessions Michael got us comfortable, which led to great photos. He provided great suggestions for locations and staging. We love our posed photos and love the candids even more! Overall we would highly recommend Michael for engagement and wedding photos.

d to only have one shooter, which I was nervous about, but he was able to capture every important moment to us. He is open to your ideas/wants, however I am an indecisive person so he directed me on best shots and poses and he hit the nail on the head! His images are gorgeous. He was very quick with his turn around time on sending photos which was an added bonus we did not expect.

n. He was very prompt, had great communication, and knew exactly where to go around the area to take beautiful and unique photos. I will definitely use him again if the occasion every calls for needing a photographer in New Orleans.

the flow. He also helped with poses since taking pictures can be awkward. Once the ceremony and reception started, I barely noticed him haha. But I am so thankful for all of the pictures he took and his reasonable prices, especially if you are having a smaller wedding.

t also directed us on the best lighting/placement/poses and made sure we got all the shots we wanted before he packed up; our pictures turned out great! The quality of the prints he produced are excellent as well. Definitely recommend him for wedding photography!

en we had a full day of events, the fact that he worked with us to keep our budget manageable was a huge bonus. Now that we are looking through his shots, we appreciate just how many he orchestrated, making it difficult to narrow down what we will share with our guests! Thank you, Michael!

e’re so happy with how the pictures turned out and would gladly refer him to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

se a traditional route and didn’t do a first look) and every single session had the most amazing photos. Michael is so wonderful to work with, he has the best personality and his photography skills are out of this world. Besides his photography talent, he has the most professional work ethic. He was the one to always touch base with us on shoots, suggest locations, ask for wedding day information and we never had to think twice about anything. We could not recommend him enough. We are going to keep him for all our future photo shoots! Don’t think twice about booking Michael!

. He was easy to work with and I highly recommend him as a wedding photographer. We couldn't be more pleased with the photographs we received. He is professional to work with and on top of that friendly as well. We also used him for her engagement photos and it was an excellent experience.

have gotten a sneak peak at our wedding photos and they are perfect. He was also very on board with our food photo shoots at the end of the engagement session and wedding 😂 He was so much fun to work with. We really enjoyed our time with him.

thought of that turned out to be my favorites. He was able to capture the emotions of the day so perfectly when we weren't expecting it. I asked Michael to take charge of the photographs because there was so much going on and I didn't want to spend my happiest day directing anyone - he made sure that he caught every memorable moment on camera and we couldn't have been more pleased. My husband and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a seasoned, professional, and creative photographer who listens to his clients and delivers the best results.

ather exhaustive search online, I was lucky enough to find Michael. I reached out to him via email and he almost immediately responded back. I discussed w/him what we liked, what kind of places we were looking for and right away he had a game plan. Unfortunately, the COVID lockdowns hit and we decided that it would be better to postpone our elopement from last year to this year (2022). I contacted Michael and he couldn't have been more understanding and accommodating as we pushed our date back a year. Our day finally came and again, being from out of town we were nervous about how everything was going to work out, but Michael had everything worked out and it was a stress free and perfect afternoon in The French Quarter. He had all of the areas that we wanted mapped out and showed us several places that we of course didn't even know about. The pictures came out amazing and everyone that has seen them have commented how great they are. Michael was very professional, personable and we couldn't have been happier. I would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone seeking a photographer in the New Orleans area. You won't be disappointed!!!

me out like they're from an editorial magazine!

he country. Michael didn't just document the madcap fun; he captured and memorialized it, gorgeously. The "wows" and "oh my Gods!" are coming in from all our guests seeing them for the first time. Artist-meets-documentarian. And, a total professional who did what he said he would do, delivered when and how he said he would, for the price quoted. without a nudge or reminder. Superb.

and professional. He sent a questionnaire to us beforehand so we could fill him in with all the details. I also had a long list of “must have” picture combinations that I provided to him as well. He arrived with a second shooter on the day of. Everything was smooth and he captured all of the pictures I requested plus more. We received our photos within a reasonable time frame after the wedding. We were impressed with the quality and quantity of photos. The pictures are perfect and we will cherish them for years to come. He exceeded our expectations!

ughout what can be a very nerve-racking day! The pictures turned out so beautifully, and he was responsive and extremely helpful through the whole planning process. We got our edited photos back quickly and we would recommend Michael for anyone's photography needs in the New Orleans area!

ing and making sure nothing was missed while at the same time melting into the background and allowing us to share this special time with each other. The shots that Michael captured were nothing short of breath-taking! Every single guest has told us how they look like something out of a magazine. If you are in New Orleans, Michael should be your go to person!

d so very fun to work with! He is outstanding photographer, and we are delighted with the results--we have received many compliments on our pics. We just can't say enough good things about Michael Caswell!

e a rockstar and captured all of the memorable moments throughout our wedding while never getting in the way. We strongly recommend him and wish him nothing but success—5 STARS!

was very easy going. He was so easy to work with and I am so pleased 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!

ion bring back the most fun moments of our wedding. Most of the 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.

ors 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. 10/10!

ecial night exactly the way we envisioned it. He came early and 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!!

Park; he really let us be ourselves but still gave guidance on 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!

priced. I would recommend Michael for any event in the New Orleans area.

g into the reception and catching the fun moments that really make 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!

mself blend into the crowd but was also right there to capture every 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!

t worrying about the photography and Michael helped us accomplish 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.
