About this vendor
A truly amazing photograph is a uniquely captured moment in time, executed properly. It is the small things like hair and make up, to the bigger moments like the vows that will make your wedding day uniquely yours and tell your wedding day story as its own. We truly love what we do and it shows.

ng I hoped they would be! I definitely recommend Modern Heart for all of your photography needs! I can’t thank them enough for capturing all of those special moments on my big day!
Joey is so amazing! He is professional, friendly and very patient! I would recommend him to anyone.
Amazing company! Joey arrived early, took amazing pictures, and the turnaround time was incredibly fast. He gives you a color and BW version of every single picture which was aweso...
me. I had a pretty faced paced wedding including doing bridals after the ceremony and he never missed a beat. And the price is seriously unbeatable!
Joey is an amazing photographer, a true talent. I was so picky in selecting our photographer and I am so glad that we found him! From the engagement photos to the send-off, every...
thing has been flawless! He also has a great personality and really is insightful when it comes to getting the shots that you want. He understood how important it was for us to have our 9 year old included and caught some amazing candid shots of her because he knew what to look for. He is also really great at staying calm in chaos, and as crazy as things got on our wedding day, made sure to stay calm and get every shot that we needed. We couldn't be more thrilled with our results and are looking forward to using him for years to come!
Joey is absolutely amazing!! I used him for my bridals and our wedding. For my bridals he made me feel so comfortable even though I'm always awkward with pictures. He gave me so mu...
ch direction and found beautiful backdrops around the State Capitol! He and his assistant, Brady, even edited and had a portrait shipped and ready to display at our wedding in less than a week!! Amazing. Prior to the wedding reception he took so many fun shots of our wedding party under the pressure of a quickly setting sun and risk of getting his truck towed due to a Mardi Gras parade. He even stayed an hour later than originally planned. He's a total professional and his photos look amazing! I cannot recommend him enough.
Joey Boardelon was is a gifted photographer. I stalked his work online and knew he had the vibe we wanted. Our requests were probably a bit off the wall (second wedding, so we requ...
ested a family session with our blended family for an hour before cocktail hour, then wanted cocktail hour pics, then wedding pics, then reception pics), but he was accommodating and so, so patient. The photos are stunning. I could not believe how many of them I said, "OK, no, THIS is my favorite," about when we received proofs. Everyone loved the pics. I have many of them proudly displayed on a gallery wall in our home and invested in a very large book. We are Joey Bordelon fans for life!!
I absolutely loved all of my pictures! Joey was wonderful and so personable, and I felt like we became friends throughout the whole process. He was more than just a stranger photog...
rapher, which made everything so much easier and more relaxing. I'm still blown away when I look at my bridal pictures. I love every single one of them so much! Joey Bordelon Photography definitely comes highly recommended from this former bride!
Do not look elsewhere for your wedding photographer!! This is your guy! He is a GREAT photographer and is very personable and kind. His price packages are very affordable and the p...
ayment plan makes it even easier to manage. I've been in a lot of weddings in my life, but I believe he provides the best wedding photographs I've ever seen. He made my anxious bride very comfortable and brought out her true beauty in all of his pictures. I am not able to recommend another photographer for a wedding. Joey is the best option out there! Period!
Bonus: I hear he doesn't mind having a drink with the bride and groom
Joey is phenomenal! He is patient, kind, and easy to work with. He makes you feel extremely comfortable. He takes pride in his work, and it shows in his beautiful pictures!
We recently used Joey Bordelon for our engagement session at the LSU Rural Life Musuem and we could not be happier with the way our pictures came out! Each picture has a personal t...
ouch and shows our personalities perfectly! Joey really took the time to have fun with us and to ensure that our pictures would capture my fiancé and I's personalities. They aren't your typical cookie-cutter engagement pictures and I am so so happy about that! I have gotten so many compliments on the quality of our pictures and have actually helped some friends book him for their engagement/bridal/weddings! If you are looking for someone who will take into your account your style vision and personalities in how he captures your special moments look no further!! And you will have a blast along me the way so that's an added bonus!!
My (now) husband and I were on a tight budget for our wedding, and were hesitant to hire a photographer. Joey came through for us with a price we could afford. Our photos are simpl...
y incredible. He captured moments that we didn't realize we missed as we were busy thanking our guests. We are thrilled that we didn't skip the photography. I would recommend Joey Bordelon Photography to anyone. Just a wonderful experience.
Joey photographed our son's wedding and did a fantastic job. Plenty of pictures of very high quality, quite a few candid pictures and the turnaround was quick. My son and daughter...
-in-law have the right to the pictures. I would not hesitate hiring him again.
I highly recommend Joey for your wedding photography! He photographed our wedding in April 2015 and did an amazing job. He is very talented, professional and easy to work with. ...
Unfortunately we had a lot of rain on our wedding day, but Joey has a great eye and still managed to get some wonderful shots of us outside. He captured everything beautifully and we enjoyed reliving our day through his photographs!
Joey is truly an amazing artist. His attention to the details enhanced our wedding. With his insight and vision, our ceremony was even more spectacular. He captured moments that I...
never even realized happened, expressions that are never captured but by someone of his caliber. He is truly an artist with a passion for his work, and the ability to capture the unimaginable. We are truly grateful to have had Joey as part of our wedding.
Joey is a joy to work with and I cannot imagine our wedding without him. His suggestions for lighting and ceremony arrangements were spot on and his work is truly art on print. T...
here is no shot that is out of reach...he positioned himself on our reception dance floor (lying on his back on the floor) to get an "upshot" of the wedding party dancing!!! We love the shot and his black and white collection is beyond description. Selecting the right photographer will be pivotal to any event. Joey has personality to go along with his incredible talent. So much that we now consider him our personal, family photographer and refuse to bring our business elsewhere. You will not go wrong if you select Joey Bordelon Photography. We give him our highest possible rating!
Joey was the photographer to my wedding in May 2014. He was very personable and professional. He gets to know the couple and their likes and dislikes to help provide with the bes...
t wedding photos for them. We had an engagement session, bridal session, and wedding day photos. He got to know us over a period of time. Meeting with him over a few occasions helped us get comfortable with him for the day of. He directed us throughout of engagement and bridal session because he knows what looks good in pictures. On the wedding day, he just let us enjoy the day and take the most natural pictures. He caught great moments for every event that I will enjoy to look back at for years to come. I would recommend Joey to any bride that wants a personal experience!! Thanks Joey!!!
Joey and his assistant were able to be part of every aspect of our entire wedding weekend. He even photographed our rehearsal dinner. He was always on time and got plenty of shots ...
of both the bride and groom getting ready for the big day. He understood the importance of capturing the small moments and didn't let anyone rush him, which was really important to me. We had a huge wedding and were so pleased to see that so many of our guests were in our pictures.
My husband and I chose Joey Bordelon as our photographer for our destination wedding in the US Virgin Islands because we loved his photography style, his versatile experience and h...
is eye for a different viewpoint. We had done a lot of research around different wedding photographers and we knew Joey would be able to provide us with unique and amazing photographs we would want to share with everyone.
Before the wedding, he took the time to drive around the island and find the perfect location for our first look and familiarize himself with the different types of shots he could get on the island. He was a great photographer for our destination wedding because he took initiative and took the time to find the best spots. This was very important for the destination wedding as we knew we would not have time or the eye to pick the perfect location. Joey made us feel very comfortable which allowed for the pictures to look natural and bring out our personalities. Following the wedding, he was quick to get our pictures back to us and his editing made the pictures look beautiful.
Joey was very fun to work with. He is the ultimate professional, but still very approachable and makes it easy for you to talk to him about any requests you have for the pictures. If you choose Joey, you will definitely not be disappointed!
Joey Bordelon Photography is one of the most professional group to have taken our pictures. We have seen other photographers and their portfolios and they do not even compare to wh...
at Joey can do. He was very easy going and easy to work. Made our day one of the most memorable days ever. I would highly recommend him to any one that needed a very professional photographer. We got pictures we thought we would never seem possible and so many to choose from that made the wedding very special. Hightly recommend using Joey Bordelon Photography.
Just returned from the most marvelous trip to St.Croix, USVI . . . where Joey Bordelon graciously came to photograph our wedding! I don't think there is any destination too far th...
at Joey would not travel ! He is a seasoned traveler who is very comfortable outside of his native Louisiana. It took him no time at all getting to know St. Croix and the most beautiful spots to take some of our most precious wedding photos. There are too many words to describe the professional service and attention to details Joey Bordelon Photography provides. From the moment he arrives on site, he is focused, organized and ready for every planned and not planned (!) occasion that arises. He is attentive to your wishes, pays attention to and remembers even the smallest requests and will surprise you with the sheer number and beauty in the images he captures throughout the day. He is a joy to work with - funny - kind - considerate - and very imporant . . . patient!!!! He blends seamlessly into the crowd and even in the solo bride and groom photos he seems only to be in the distant background capturing our natural reactions, smiles and gazes - You don't know he's there as you go through this very special day but he is - he is everywhere capturing every special moment - special look, special smile in timeless photographs that will be treasured for a lifetime. THANK YOU Joey for capturing our special day in a way that more than exceeded our expectations!
Joey Bordelon did a fantastic job photographing our son's and daughter-in-law's wedding reception last September.
Because our Son had just joined the Air Force and was waiting ...
for a training "leave date,"
their decision was to have an intimate, family-only ceremony. Once his orders came through,we were able to set a date for the reception.
We met with Joey and immediately connected. He has a tasteful, modern style and a wide range of experience since he has traveled extensively on photo shoots.
Joey assisted us in choosing essential shots beforehand. He then used his wonderfully creative eye to capture both candid guest shots as well as elements of the beautiful plantation setting at dusk.
He was patient, thoughtful, and worked extremely hard to capture the evening's events.
I Would definitely work with him again for future events as well as for in-studio portraits.
Joey was a breath of fresh air to work with. With all of the wedding planning and hassles, it quickly becomes overwhelming and exhausting. Joey and his staff were very easy to wo...
rk with and worked around our schedule helping elevating some of the stress. Thank you for making our wedding day a memorable one, and if we don't remember parts of it, we can rely on the photos.

He was incredible to work with. From the moment you meet him you know he is passionate about anything photography related. Our shoot was a little out of the norm for him, as we wer...
e shooting clothing items for a boutique. He took his time with our young model and really explained and demonstrated what she needed to do. His knowledge of lighting, shades, colors, and angles is incredible. This is what sets him apart from other photographers. Our shoot ran way into the night and I felt so bad because we finished up around 11:30 pm and he had another shoot the next day. Never once did he rush us or try to make the shoot go faster. Every photo was a masterpiece and he directed our model with a smile on his face until the last picture was taken. Hard work and passion for photography seems to be ingrained in this young entrepreneur. I have lived in San Diego for a few years and I must say Joey ranks far past those in this region. He ranks up their with the best.
Joey took our engagement pictures and did an amazing job!!! He was very professional and had a lot of great ideas for different picture settings and poses. He took our vision and r...
an with it, he went above and beyond! Our family and friends have all raved about the pictures!! Unfortunately he isn't available for our wedding, but he is at the top of our list for future photography needs!
Joey Bordelon Photography was outstanding!! I highly recommend Joey and his photographers to capture your next big event! I have known Joey for several years and I could think of n...
o one better to capture my biggest day than him! After looking at my amazing wedding photos, I was able to relive the entire day! It made me want to have the reception over and over again! I do not think he missed a beat and I am so grateful for that. As a bride you are so preoccupied with a million things that it is important to hire someone you trust to capture the special moments you may not have seen. His attention to detail, promptness, ability to think on the spot, and passion for photography is obvious from the start. Capturing the true moment is not always easy. You must be able to think quickly and work with the elements you are given whether it be weather, space, time, etc. In Louisiana, we know that is not always easy! It takes someone with a lot of creativity, originality and experience to truly bring a picture to life. Joey and his photographers do an outstanding job doing just this. Contact Joey Bordelon Photography for your next big event! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Joey did an amazing job on our wedding video! Friendly staff and easy to work with. Highly recommend them!!
Joey Bordelon was the most impressive, talented, and flexible photographer I could have chosen to shoot my special day and all the events leading.
He is very personable and delive...
rs the most professional service.
I would not have chosen anyone else and neither should you. He is fantastic. Just go look at my pictures on his page under Courtney Caldwell.
I had just had a baby in April and my wedding was in November. I was very, very insecure and was frightened to see my pictures. NO worries with Joey Bordelon. He makes you feel beautiful and the best part, no matter what you look beautiful in the pictures. He is amazing. YOU WOULD BE CRAZY not to book him for your future events !!!!
