Michael Caswell Photography

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.

ality of the images, the quality of the album was superb. You could absolutely see the difference in quality when compared to other wedding albums. I knew right then that wow I hope that I can have this person produce the images at my wedding and thats when I contacted him. It was the first thing I booked for the wedding after booking my venue because I could not have been any more sure. And let me tell you, I could honestly not have been any happier. He is so professional, so genuinely caring and REALLY makes sure that you get the shots that you like and the angles you like and captures the best moments. We had a destination wedding so communicating and booking with him was so easy and setting the time for bridal shoot was also very easy. He honestly went above and beyond during both the bridal shoot and the wedding. I honestly don't know how he did it but he was at multiple places at once and literally looking through the pictures he has captured every single thing at the wedding and it just brings tears to my eyes that I can revive everything from that night with all the beautiful pictures. We did not have a videographer for our wedding but honestly Mr. Caswell did such an amazing job with all the beautiful photos that no video is needed just the pictures are enough for us to remember everything about the wedding. I could not thank you enough Mr. Caswell for everything that you have done and for putting so much energy and capturing everything, not missing a single moment at our wedding. Every picture you have taken is so beautiful and I feel like a beautiful princess and you can just see the love and emotions in all the pictures. We could not recommend him enough. If you are unsure about your photographer, trust me Mr. Caswell is THE BEST. If you like quality like I do, he is the man. From the pictures to our usb, to the album, everything is HIGH quality.

out beautifully! I would highly recommend!!

enuine moments and emotions captured on our special day - and he did just that! We could not be more satisfied. As we were looking for our photos, we kept saying, "Do you remember him even standing there? It was like he was invisible the whole time, but he captured so much!" He and his assistant have such positive attitudes, and they don't miss a beat! You will not regret hiring Michael as your wedding photographer. Nothing feels forced, and he captures every special moment in perfect quality. I'm so glad we have these photos to cherish forever.

ontinued to provide excellent customer service with my photobook and any other photography needs. He goes above and beyond to satisfy you. Thanks Michael, I will recommend you to everyone!!

s so easy. He and his assistant, Sarah, were extremely patient during the reception and were very accommodating to take several impromptu group photos. There was so much excitement that day, it was sort of like herding cats for photos, but he was extremely professional. No matter where we were, Michael was right there with us all the time but was so non intrusive. He worked with our wedding coordinator and videographer seamlessly and we so look forward to seeing the finished product. We got to see a sneak peek of a few, and they were amazing!

ks to Michael. I could not believe how well our pictures came out, Michael exceeded all of my expectations and he was so pleasant to work with. Can not recommend him enough!

an all indoor wedding, one of my concerns was lighting and space for him to move in (we had a small ceremony space). Michael eliminated all concerns and executed flawlessly. And, unless he was taking portrait pictures, I didn’t notice him being in my face with the camera much, but he caught so many beautiful candid moments. Another concern I had was having enough time before the ceremony to get things done. One of the things I liked about Michael was that he offered to swap the engagement sessions for an extra hour on the wedding day and it was very much so worth it. He came to our hotel to take the getting ready shots, and then went to the venue for pre-ceremony shots. I was a very organized bride, and gave Michael a detailed list of all the shots I wanted and he followed it to the T. He has a very calming personality, but also gets things done quickly. He took his time to make sure shots were perfect, but got my long list taken care of. He really takes his time post-wedding to edit the pictures so they really pop, but has an excellent turn around time. He also includes a book of photos from your day in his packages. Michael was a dream to work with and I would recommend him to anyone.

pture photos in the park. He listened to our ideas and offered suggestions that would give us the best shots and still align with our original concepts. On the actual day, he was prompt and efficient with his time. He skillfully arranged our families to maximize time for group shots. We had a small, 30ish person wedding and he captured key moments during the ceremony all while blending in with our group. At the end of our contracted time, Michael was packed up and saying goodbye when he realized that we had not taken photos with the one grandmother present (she was one of the main reasons we traveled to NOLA!). He unpacked and made sure that we got some priceless photos with her, what a lifesaver! Michael is a gentlemen and true artist. He is easy to communicate with and very professional, while still maintaining a relaxed attitude that is very soothing during a hectic day. Plus, his rates are great especially for the quality of his work and he was very quick with releasing our edited photos to us. I feel lucky that we had Michael to capture our special day and highly recommend him as a photographer.

photos, we immediately assumed he would be highly expensive.  We were mistaken.  Michael did not just take photos, he captured emotions.  Michael’s patient and kind demeanor was definitely welcome with all the stress of the big day.  The shoot yielded absolutely beautiful shots that showed every emotion and facial expression we had.  I am having difficulty selecting one to place as our focal point in our home.  We will treasure them always, and they will make perfect holiday cards for all our family members this year! He is also unbelievably easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot the day of (which was not without weather challenges), and when he delivered the images. Michael knew how bad we wanted a certain shot and he timed the weather and let us know of the break we needed just to get that shot.  He is super responsive over text and email, and extremely helpful with providing us information from hotels to potential vendors as we are from out of state.  In person, Michael is really kind and friendly, and our entire cast of family and friends had nothing but great things to say about him.   Beginning-to-end, we couldn’t have had a better experience nor have we ever seen a better set of wedding photos. I only wished I lived closer to have him capture all our moments.  I couldn’t recommend Michael more!  

any and cannot wait to receive our wedding album from him! We strongly recommend you choose Michael! You will not be disappointed.

you so much, Michael!

us to a few cool spots in the French quarter to get some more awesome pictures. He was friendly and so easy to work with. He responds immediately to emails and kept us in the loop on each step. But again, our photos are seriously perfect. I recommend Michael Caswell 1,000 percent.

thing and enjoy your night (barely noticing he's there) resulting in the best candids and real shots. He takes a list ahead of time of all requested shots during that time as well. He is timely with picture turn around time. Since receiving our pictures, we've gone through them entirely probably about 20 times. We are able to relive the night through his beautiful pictures and couldn't be happier with them. Thanks, Michael!

many I had seen while doing my research. He was very kind, helpful and super responsive! He was easy going as well as we did not have a wedding planner and things got a bit chaotic when trying to take pictures in between the ceremony and rehearsal, which we really appreciated! He absolutely listened to what we wanted and we got so many great pictures in a timely fashion! I chose Michael mainly because he seemed to capture a lot of the feel of peoples weddings with many great candid shots and he did not disappoint! He comes very highly recommended in my book!

nal and an absolute pleasure to work with. In preparation of our wedding, he maintained open communication to address our concerns with knowledge, grace, and insight that made the planning of photos easy from afar. Michael is an ambitious and highly talented photographer, whose passion for photography is evident from the outstanding quality of his wedding photos. His exceptional eye for detail forever captured the most intimate moments of our wedding day, from our first-look in Jackson Square to our courtyard ceremony at Hotel Mazarin, and moved us to tears, as we were able to relive those cherished moments with our family through the sheer beauty of his photographs. The only “challenge” we’ve incurred is trying to select only fifty (50) of the best photographs to place in a wedding album, which speaks to the quality of Michael’s work. Michael Caswell’s photography made our wedding a truly unforgettable experience! We recommend his services to any bride and groom wholeheartedly, with no reservations. You’ll be glad you chose him!

17th and had all of our photos well before Christmas so we were able to print for our families. We would recommend him to anyone!

onal touch for you on his work and capture things that are important to you. Our wedding was very small, a gathering of just under 40 people. Even in a small crowd, Michael blends in so well that you hardly know he is there. He expertly works the room to capture all of the best moments and angles. He took some amazing shots of my husband and I on Canal St. So many, in fact, that I can't decide which ones or how many to print for our house. He is quick to reply to messages, shows up on time, and had our edited photos completed in less than 3 weeks. I couldn't be happier with him, and I'm so glad we chose him for our event. I recommend you do the same!

ew traditional staged shots but mostly we wanted candid pictures of our ceremony and of our guests during the reception. Once I was able to review all the pictures taken, I can not be happier! There are so many wonderful shots to choose from! He was able to, not only take pictures that I am proud to display in my home, but he really captured our friend’s and family’s personalities.

e and he captured every detail beautifully. Would recommend him in an instant! Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly, Michael!

in advance so that we felt comfortable with booking him. The payments were easy and everything went off without a hitch. We are so grateful to Michael for giving us beautiful memories that we will always cherish. As a bride who hates getting her photo taken, even I enjoyed it.

on. During the wedding we barely noticed him taking our pictures but when we saw the photos we were so surprised how great they were. Some people even commented that they looked like they should be on the cover of a New Orleans magazine. He is really a great photographer and made everything simple after the wedding when looking at the photos and storing them for safe keeping. I’m glad we hired him and would tell anyone to do the same. He is a true professional.

landscape in a truly great photograph. Just perfect. I was so excited for him to shoot our wedding and we were not disappointed. The reason why we chose Michael was because of his style. He is great at taking portraits and formal photos but we found his candid style photos were truly phenomenal. We weren’t wrong. Our wedding photos are the most breathtaking photos I’ve ever seen. The portrait shots are great but he captured my friends and family is an amazing light. Not only that but he captured my husband and I in so many beautiful photos. I have a tendency to fake smile when I know someone is taking a photo. Michael was everywhere without you knowing it. We have so many photos of my husband and I laughing genuinely and so many moments we didn’t get to see. I couldn’t recommend him more. A few other important items, picture quality aside. Michael is quick to respond to emails. He’s punctual and has always been on time or early. He’s very polite and great at his job. He’s creative and understands lighting and background. He works great with the staff at your venue and with friends and family. He isn’t aggressive with pulling you away from your reception. He gets the photos you want and then disappears to capture the pictures you never thought you needed. Do yourself a favor and hire Michael. You won’t regret it, I assure you. He’s an amazing photographer and because of him I have the best photos I’ve ever had, taken on the best day of my life. Not a moment missed of our fairy tale.

auty of the day. One pic of me holding tears back still brings to my eye the instant I see it. He was also fantastic in recommending vendors and our chosen ceremony site. We are from California, so we did not know who to work with, but Michael's recommendations were the best! Thank you Michael!

tos are SOO great. He truly captured every emotion. I highly recommend him. He also has worked with our venue, videographer, and flower shop so he was able to work behind the scenes with those vendors to help make sure everything was good to go as well.

ichael was so accommodating and helpful from the moment we booked him. He was such a calming presence on our wedding day, and he made sure to make the formal portrait process as stress-free as possible (this was a trying task given the massive size of our bridal party!). We just received our full album from our wedding day on July 7th, and we are still in absolute awe from the breathtaking photos. Michael does not just take photos; he captures pure, beautiful, fleeting moments. On your wedding day you miss so many of these special moments, but we were able to relive these through our pictures. Each photo encompasses a beautiful memory, full of raw emotion. Michael has given us photos that we will treasure forever. There is truly not enough praise to give to this incredible photographer. If you are a bride searching for a photographer that will flawlessly capture the pure joy of your special day, look no further!!! We are so happy that we chose Michael Caswell to capture the beautiful memories of the best day of our lives.

s taken, my husband was not. He is a very shy person so I was nervous that it would effect our engagement and wedding photos, but Michael did a great job at directing us and making us both comfortable. I loved every engagement photo, bridal portrait, and wedding photo and have a difficult time figuring out my favorites. He also was great at making sure we got every photo we wanted by sending out a form before the wedding that asked us what photos we wanted , but also about the details of our wedding so he could get everything. I loved working with him and will continue to do so in the future.

ovington. The final photos are incredibly impressive, even my friends who are photographers were completely blown away. I especially appreciated the non-posed photos, this is where Michael truly shines. From catching the exact moment my now-husband reacted to seeing me for the first time, to capturing me and two of my cousins in mid-air during the wobble dance, his work is amazing. My favorite photo of the whole wedding is a spontaneous shot he captured of my husband and I laughing together. I also found Michael to be incredibly communicative and patient during the whole process. He responded to all of my emails and calls in a very timely manner, was patient to the extreme when timelines changed, and was willing to try some more non-traditional shots. Finally, there were a few photos that were really important to me and Michael got every one of them. I highly recommend him as a wedding photographer or any other event.

He captured some really special moments and helped us create the memories of a lifetime! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

who can't? What Michael will allow you to walk away with are those initial reactions to your soon to be husband's first look at you in your white dress, how it felt to look at yourself in the mirror after your make-up and hair was done and how it felt to dance on the streets of New Orleans with your husband's hand in yours. Michael just gets people I guess, he knows precisely what to watch for, and he'll do it without appearing 'in the way' of allowing any of those organic moments to happen.

spond to any of my emails, early to arrive and thorough in capturing photos around the entire outdoor/indoor venue. In addition to featuring us in his blog just a week after the wedding, he had all of our photos ready to view in less than 3 weeks. We are thrilled with our photos and the dreamy romantic quality he captured in each one! We generally feel awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Michael's relaxed and friendly manner put everyone at ease and made it possible to capture some fantastic candid moments. An amazing experience!

es I've ever seen. When we received our pictures, over 900 of them, we saw that every event that we wanted captured was right there. We purchased the best package that he offered and it was worth every penny. I would invite anyone to check out his webpage, https://www.nolaweddingphotographer.com/, then call him.

deciding which ones to put in my album! Michael was so flexible and understanding, he event stayed extra on last minute notice to film our Greek dancing. Also, he is fast, in 3 weeks I had all my pictures!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Michael Caswell!!

ure to work with despite having little daylight (and time!) left. We received hundreds of beautiful and quality photos and have received so many compliments!!

e is so very nice and easy to work with. Also prices are reasonable for his great work. Couldn’t recommend him more!

chael as the photographer and have been so impressed. I had all the pictures mailed to me on a disk within 4 weeks!! Very fast and high quality photos. 100% would recommend!

e the exact feelings in that moment just by looking at them. We will never be able to thank him enough for making our day so memorable.

select the perfect photography package for our very small destination wedding in New Orleans. Michael is super responsive and completely transparent about his very reasonable pricing (which is listed on his website, unlike many other vendors). We were able to meet with him during a wedding planning trip back in March, and his friendly, professional manner immediately put us at ease. On the day of the wedding, our friends and family commented on how efficient he was at shooting the formal portraits, and how great he was at being unobtrusive during the ceremony. We are thrilled with how our photos came out and would highly recommend Michael to anyone who wants beautiful, photojournalistic wedding photos!

in doing whatever type of pictures you want to do. He offers a payment plan which is great and he gets everything done in a timely matter. I definitely recommend Michael!

and met us at multiple locations with no problem. The photos are so good that we haven’t been able to stop gushing over them for days and we plan on sending framed copies to our wedding attendees. He even offered me an extra pair of pants after I split mine whilst grooving on the dance floor!

on

many pictures to choose from and they're all so good, it is hard to choose. I highly recommend him!

l was there for our big day!

stics throughout the whole process. I could not have been more impressed. He was very quick with turn-around time on our pictures. And the photos turned out beautifully! We really appreciated all of his hard work. I would highly suggest booking him for your proposal, engagement, or wedding event.

and I's Wedding Day because he was there to witness the moments I became a bride. After always assisting other couples on their wedding day and working closely with Michael for years, I knew he was the best and personable choice! Our pictures are just over the top extraordinary and I cannot wait to constantly look back on the amazing memories from that day. Thank you so much Michael for everything that you have done from the moment of booking with you to our wedding day! I will continue you to recommend you to everyone!

ery email timely and was extremely helpful when I asked for suggestions on various things such as venues, videographers, etc. Initially, after seeing his work, I didn’t think I would be able to afford him, so imagine my surprise to discover how reasonably priced he actually was. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and ready to get to work. He was so polite, respectful and just a joy and pleasure to work with. Even when I was freaking out when family members were making us wait for pictures, he was so cool, calm and collected and in turn, calmed me down. He notified me when he had preview pics up on his blog. I cannot express how pleased I was. I sent the link to friends and family and all I got from everyone was how amazing the photography was. I then received the rest of the images – I cannot stress how incredibly excited I was to see them. He arranged the images in sequential order, so I literally re-lived my entire wedding through his lens. It was the first time I saw my bridal party walking down the aisle, guests dancing at the reception and so much more that I missed. The pictures are simply beyond beautiful. He is a true professional. I did the research, save yourself the time, call Michael Caswell right away before he books up. Thank you Michael. You gave me the most beautiful photographic memories that I will cherish forever.

rtraits but, most importantly to us, also the memories of our special day. We couldn't recommend him more!

wedding photos. He is very professional but easy going at the same, we enjoyed it very much.

e always knows how to be in the right place at the right time. He is always very punctual and professional and pays extreme attention to detail. I was always impressed with him during our photo sessions, but when I saw the pictures, I was confident there is no other photographer I would have ever wanted. Michael captured every moment and every emotion perfectly. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!!!! He is the absolute best.

He is affordable for everything you get from him and he delivers quality material. He is easy to get in touch with as well, which is great when you're freaking out about last minute wedding details. He is an amazing photographer and I would recommend him to anyone. We got our engagement shots, bridal portraits, and wedding done with him and everything turned out perfect.
