Michael Caswell is the absolute best wedding photographer in New Orleans. We hired him early 2021 for our engagement photos where he captured beautiful (and fun!) photos in Audubon 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!
