g and I, meeting with us before our wedding to ensure

Thank you so much, Emily! We are delighted that you love your images. We know you were a little apprehensive about being photographed, and are thrilled that you love the final outcome.

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to these two!! Marianne and Steve were amazing! We live in Chicago and planned a last minute destination elopement in New Orleans. Marianne held my hand along the way giving me lots of great ideas, tips & tr...
icks, recommending vendors, sending links to important information about out-of-state marriage license, permits, etc. The day of our wedding they both were very sweet and organized so they kept us on schedule without feeling like they were rushing or nagging us.

Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2022
Thank you, Patricia! We enjoyed every minute of you and Daniel's wedding ... it would have only been better if I could have found time to do a shot with you!! Opting to skip it and get great photographic shots was probably a better decision, ...
haha.
This photographer was the best decision we made. The photographs were beyond our expectations and they captured the most amazing day in the most amazing city. I would highly recommend Red M Studio - they were so accommodating, a calm presence...
(especially when the officiate was 30 minutes late), they were also fun and adventurous with the photography - the absolute best!!!

Thank you so much, Shannon! We loved working with your beautiful family!! Thank you so much for choosing us, and for choosing New Orleans! We love to show off our hometown.
New York Talent with Southern Flare! When my husband and I found Marianne and Steve at their studio, The Red M Studio, we both knew it had to be them! We are a 'vintage' couple, so at 60 years old, we decided to elope in the Big Easy and treat ...
ourselves to a photoshoot in the city of New Orleans. My husband is a professional musician and I am a horror writer of steampunk vampire novels. Marianne and Steve captured our perfect funky vibe in the exact harmony of locations in the city with every shot. They captured the creative and classic shots with us in NOLA along with traditional wedding shots at the ceremony.
Communication was spot on and, as a bride, I felt so taken care of in every way. They answered questions before we knew we had the question! We discussed and planned the locations long before we got there, so there were NO disappointments. For Example: The city wanted a permit if we chose to shoot IN Jackson Square. They kept us fully informed about such valuable details, which could ruin your day if you didn't know beforehand! Marianne and Steve put us at such ease and were both so fun and friendly. The whole day and ceremony went by in a flash!
With no family or friends to share our event with, Marianne and Steve became our wedding party. They made us both feel so relaxed and at ease, like friends taking pictures. They both knew how to help us pose for the best shots and it all seemed so normal, natural, and FUN! My favorite shot is a classic in front of a MOVING streetcar in the middle of the tracks! We were all moving/walking and yet Marianne captured the moment, the look, and the love all in ONE SHOT! YOU ROCK MARIANNE!!!
Their attention to detail was flawless. They made sure the lighting was perfectly timed to where we would be at any point in the day and planned things accordingly. Things you may not consider when taking a photoshoot...on the DIRTY streets of NOLA. They made sure there were no others in our shots or bags of trash in the background. Even the streets and the day itself were pristine...I'm giving them credit for that too! ;)
For the quality of service and talent, they are a steal of a deal at double the price! If you don't want to worry about anything when it comes to your pictures and professionalism, not to mention just really FUN and COOL folks, The Red M Studio is the way to go!
Total professionals with southern grace and charm! We are looking forward to doing this again with them! Maybe for our First Wedding Anniversary! Grab them while you can!

It is not often that I am left speechless, but Lark somehow managed to make that happen! We are beyond grateful for not only this glowing review, but for your unwavering trust in us to help plan and execute your perfect day! Helping make elope...
ments like yours happen in our beautiful city is one of our favorite things to do! Getting to tell love stories for fun and colorful couples is the absolute best way to spend a day in New Orleans. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Red M was the best decision!!! They were extremely professional and knew exactly what to do. We didn’t have to worry about anything. They truly went above and beyond.

Thanks Meredith! We were so glad we could be part of your big surprise!! Such an exciting day. Enjoy every minute of planning your big event, and of course, reach out if you need help!
Marianne and Steve are wonderful photographers and overall kind and compassionate humans! We got married in Nov 2020 via a very small and intimate wedding (thanks covid) . We were concerned that the challenge of masks and distancing would come ...
through in our photos and make them less than what we hoped they would be- but our concern was unfounded. Marianne and Steve tackled covid professionally and safely and made us some of the best photos I could have hoped for- including an impromptu photo in the French Quarter in front of the very first restaurant we ever ate at together. I would recommend Marianne and Steve to anyone for any type of photos- but highly recommend them for wedding photos!
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2021
Thanks for your vote of confidence, Stacy! It was easy to capture the love that you and Jay share. Your energy and enthusiasm light up the room, or the outdoor courtyard in this case, and all I had to do was follow the glow. I loved that that ...
New Orleans restaurant was your very first and glad we could make it part of your story!
Marianne and Steve were nothing short of amazing! From the first consultation onward they truly listened with open hearts and captured our big day perfectly. We wanted to relive our wedding over and over again through their pictures and we are ...
able to do just that! They are professional, timely, organized, and really just wedding rockstars! They made us so comfortable that we felt like we have known them forever. They have continued to make us feel important even though our wedding is over. We will be clients and fans for life!

We were very happy with our decision to #GetWedWithRed! Marianne and Steve were easy to work with from beginning to end. (Loved the personalized cookies that they sent us once we signed our contract – such a nice surprise!) Our decision to hire...
Red M Studio was further solidified when we learned of Marianne and Steve’s work to address food insecurity. Having a vendor that was not only passionate about their craft but also passionate about giving back to the community was definitely the right fit for us. As clients for life, we look forward to creating more beautiful photos with Red M in the years ahead!
Response from the Vendor on 08/17/2020
We're so happy you decided to #GetWedWithRed too!! Working with clients that are in sync with our non-profit heart is such a joy. Looking forward to having you as clients for life.
We loved working with Marianne and Steve. They were amazing and my husband and I love our pictures. Our original wedding date was June 5th but due to COVID 19 we had to push our wedding back. Marianne and Steve were able to still take photos of...

Thanks, Victoria! I'm so happy we were able to make it happen for you guys! I know the postponing was tough, but ya'll were real troopers. The wedding was amazing.
We loved working with The Red M Studio. Due to being in the military, we didn't have the big wedding we wanted at the beginning. For our 25th anniversary, we wanted to blow it out of the water. Marianne & Steve helped take the beautiful pict...
ures that will forever be our unforgettable memories of a Big Easy Mardi Gras wedding. The pre-wedding communication was fantastic. I couldn't wait to meet them in person. Everything during the day of was perfect. Every guest commented on how professional they were. We adore all our pictures! NOLA is beautiful scenery, and they suggested the great poses. My favorite part of the process was having them both there, working together. One took the perfect face front portraits, while the other took beautiful candid shots. Well worth every penny!
We could not have asked for a better photographer. Our pictures were amazing and everything flowed so smoothly. Marianne and Steve were wonderful, and extremely professional. Awesome job!!!

Response from the Vendor on 04/30/2020
Thanks so much! It was so much fun working with you guys, and your friends and family!!
We were lucky enough to get Marianne on short notice. Our photos were wonderful! And when things went a teeny bit wrong at our reception (as tends to happen at weddings!) she was a gem. We couldn't be happier!

Thanks, Cecilia! We loved getting to know you guys! Your aquarium wedding was amazing, and one for the record books!!
What an absolute joy it was to work the Marianne and Steve! They were extremely professional while at the same time being personable and fun. They touched base several times before the wedding to discuss what exactly we were looking for, family...
shots, and other important photo ops. My husband dreads photo shoots but The Red M made it an enjoyable process, even for him. And the photos! They are absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I was hoping for. They captured so many special moments - I can't wait to proudly display them in our home. I was also extremely impressed with all the "little" details that made working with them even more fun - they sent us a special gift before the wedding, the delivery and presentation of the photo drive was wonderful, and they included a special video for us. Absolutely wonderful people to work with - thank you Red M Studio!!

Thanks Cindy! We were honored to be a part of Joseph and Daniel's amazing New Orleans celebration. Loved celebrating with such a beautiful and loving family!
From the months leading up to our wedding The Red M Studio was responsive, professional and extremely helpful in planning what would be the best day of our lives. They took the time to scope out our venue in advance to determine the best pictur...
e locations with optimal lighting for our morning wedding. They then met with us before the big day to share ideas and go through the details. Throughout our first look and family photos, Marianne and Steve helped us feel stress-free- perfectly illustrating joy and happiness in our photos. They are truly passionate about their photography and because they work as a team they were able to be at the right place at the right time for every special moment. Our photos from The Red M Studio are stunning; friends have remarked that several of the pictures should be featured in magazines. Thank you, Red M for being so great to work with and for capturing the perfect story of our day.
Response from the Vendor on 11/18/2019
Thanks Sonja and Tim! The joy of your day was a delight to capture! Regarding that magazine thing ... keep your eyes open ... we aren't done yet, haha!
You can look through their portfolios and know that they are qualified. So, I will talk about what is intangible. My wife and I met them at a wedding show. We probably talked to a handful of photographers. What set them apart was that my wi...
fe and Marianne talked as if they were long-time friends. From that moment, we knew that they would be our photographers. Now, we can say after experiencing the Red M Studio, that they are our photographers for life.
The devil's in the details, so I'll recap our experience. We purchased two photo sessions. One for the wedding and one for the tea ceremony. During both times, we kept hearing our relatives talk about how friendly and professional they were. How often do you hear your family mention the photographers by name? They also notice the small things. During the planning process, I told them about my family members and my wife's family members. During the wedding, they knew who needed to be photographed and who was important. They also have a good feeling for things. Tell them your vision, and they are able to work with that. Sometimes I think, maybe I'm asking too much. Just like friends, they reassured me that it's our special day and they will capture it.
Some nifty qualities: Always early. We got a credit for a print which they were able to get to us in less than a week. Experimental. They tried some interesting shots. During the moment, you have no idea what's going on. Then when the photos come out, you're like, "huh, that's an amazing picture that looks like it came from a movie." At the end, the photos came on a very fancy looking usb stick with an extremely personalized note. Love them.

Topher and Carly, we loved working with you guys so much, and your families are awesome! We always love it when our couples are up to try new things and you guys brought it!!
The Red M Studio is the greatest! We had a destination wedding in New Orleans, so we had to rely on recommendations and reviews for our vendors. Since the first call with Marianne and Steve, we felt like we were in good hands. Not only are they...
very professional, but we had a blast working with them. They really listened to us and came up with some great ideas and ways to make us comfortable. They captured wonderful intimate moments as well as really great candids of our wedding guests. We are so happy to be a part of The Red M Studio family. We can't recommend Marianne and Steve enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/01/2019
Thanks Tiffany and Nate!! We had a blast working with you guys, too! Those Preservation Hall captures were love at first click!!! Thank you so much for including us in your special day!
I feel like I cannot say enough amazing things about Red M. From the moment I "met" them (via FaceTime - destination wedding), I felt like I had made the right choice. And things only got better! They surprised us with sweet little gestures alo...
ng the road to our wedding which only added to our excitement. Then on our wedding day, they were prompt (even a touch early) and went right to work beautifully capturing all of the details. I have received tons of compliments on our wedding photos! They have such a knack for catching the precious moments and also took a thorough amount of time photographing the details such as our flowers, the dress, etc. My new husband HATES being photographed but Steve made him feel comfortable and got some great photos of the guys getting ready. Their love of what they do is so evident in their attitudes and in their final products. We are so grateful to have found them and to have such amazing photos to help us remember our perfect day!

We are a fun loving couple and they really captured that in our pictures, we could not be happier with the end results.
We highly recommend this amazing couple, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks so much, Janine! You and Skip are definitely a fun-loving couple and it showed!! We had a blast with you guys and with your wonderful family and friends.
I absolutely loved working with Marianne and Steve on both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. Not only are they crazy talented - specializing in weddings, family/senior portraits and studio work - they are also incredibly likeable and...
easy to work with. Read: friendly, flexible and EVER so patient! We even invited them to brunch after our morning engagement shoot. They asked pertinent questions about our style and taste and what was important to be captured on our wedding day and then subsequently paid mind to our responses and wishes. They are truly thoughtful people. You will love working with this dynamic duo - highly recommend!

Thanks, Amanda! You guys were so much fun ... how could the joy not show?!!
If only words can describe The Red M studio. Their team is absolutely the best in the business. Steve and Marianne are such wonderful people and they worked so well with my wife and myself. They were so fun to be around and were open to sugge...
stions. Nothing felt awkward or embarrassing during our first meet up with our engagement photos. By the time for our wedding came along they were there and ready for business. They truly felt like they were the exact people meant for the job. If I was able to describe how truly amazing they are and how privileged we were to have them you would think they were made up. Thank you Red M for everything!
Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2019
Thanks Chris! You guys were so awesome to work with! I seriously love everything we worked on together! And inviting me into the Rolls with you guys was the icing on the cake!! Love those shots!
The first time we saw The Red M Studio's photos, we were very impressed--and may or may not have been moved to tears-- but it was getting to meet Marianne and Steve that really sealed the deal. Wedding photographers, especially in NOLA, come a ...
dime a dozen, but the experience with these two from the consultation through your planning stages, the big day, and even beyond that (with their online gallery and products) is really second to none. Not only do their photos come out EXCEPTIONAL, but it is apparent that they love what they do, pay attention and care about what is important to you, and have a keen eye for creative, colorful shots that capture all the emotions that happen during one of the biggest moments of your life. The two make a great team, are a wealth of invaluable information regarding your random wedding questions, respond promptly (especially good for this out of town bride), and truly just a pleasure to spend your entire day with. In fact, I'd venture to say Marianne and Steve helped our wedding day go smoother and better than the actual coordinator. They are easily one of the best decisions we could have made for our special event and we are so glad the "Client for Life" program was included in our package so that we have an excuse to travel back to New Orleans and have them document our family through the years to come.
P.S. JR still talks about the awesome cookies you sent. Nice touch for the big sweet tooth.

n front of our lens!
STOP SCROLLING! THESE ARE THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU DESERVE. From the very beginning, Marianne and Steve have been the picture of professionalism. I was a NOLA destination bride so a lot of my planning was done remotely from California. Thi...
s was NEVER an issue for The Red M Studio team. Their response time is supernaturally fast (I am still deciding if they can read my mind or if they just never sleep), they are warm and welcoming, and they KNOW their stuff. The first time I visited NOLA to tour venues, Steve and Marianne made time in their busy schedules to meet with my mom and I in person and discuss my photography needs. I knew pretty much 5 minutes into the meeting that they were the team for us. On wedding day, they were perfectly balanced between going with the flow and keeping our photography schedule on track. I will never forget after getting all dressed up Marianne looked at me and said "Have you seen yourself yet??" I hadn't. It isn't in her job description to make sure I have a bridal moment, but I will never forget it, and I owe that moment to Marianne. From being patient with my wayward toddler (the kid literally ate a giant green apple all through our formal shots) to somehow corralling my large and easily excitable family, they literally got through our formal pairings (the ones previously agreed upon and a few more) within THIRTY MINUTES. I couldn't tell you how many times the good folks at The Red M talked me off the ledge in the weeks leading up to the wedding lol but my mantra throughout planning was "well at least I know the photography is going to be good". I was wrong. It was great. When we got our gallery back (again, in a unnaturally quick turnaround time) I was absolutely speechless. By the length of this review, you might be able to tell that doesn't happen often. When clicking through those pictures I felt like I was right back in the moment, marrying the love of my life, all over again. Marianne and Steve are worth their weight in gold, and booking them was the best decision I made (besides the groom of course!). Thank you Red M for knocking my wedding photos out of the park! I am THRILLED that the "Client for Life" option came with our wedding package so that we can have an excuse to work together again as our family grows. GET WED WITH RED!
Response from the Vendor on 12/10/2018

Thank you so much, Patrick! We loved watching you watch your bride and we hope you will continue to look at her that way for many more years to come! Congratulations, once again on a beautiful wedding!!
Marianne and Steve were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to help capture our wedding day. Our wedding in New Orleans was a destination wedding for us, neither of us had ever been to the city. We had ideas of what we wanted to do f...
or photos but knew nothing about where to go. They had the whole thing planned out with exact places to take pictures that were perfect. They were even nice enough to meet us a few days before to go over everything. Which made me feel so much better considering everything else about that day we were going into blindly. I would absolutely recommend the Red M Studio for wedding photography. They made us feel completely comfortable with everything and were very helpful with ideas for photos. I've seen a few sneak peeks from that day and they are amazing. Im looking forward to seeing the rest. If you haven't found your wedding photographer you should check out the Red M Studio.

Thanks Latoria! We are so happy you included us in your 20 year celebration! Cheers to 20+ more!!
Our daughter was married in May at the House of Broel. The entire experience was amazing. Bonnie Broel was very wonderful to work with and she had recommended The Red M Studio to photograph the wedding. We had already had a photographer that we...
were working with but we are very thankful that fell through. We did call The Red M Studio and could not be more pleased. They are a husband and wife team that was so supportive and very experienced. They knew exactly what to do and when to do it. We cannot recommend them enough. We are truly great ful for these wonderful people! We will be using them for all of our photography needs.

Gee, Scott! I guess everything always works out for a reason!!! So glad we got to meet you and your amazing family!!
The wedding pictures came out so great. Ever picture I went to I was in love with.
They did a great job and were very attentive to the needs of everyone involved. I especially liked the digital copies of everything (including video of the second line parade) that were included. Thanks!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2018
Thank you, Steven! And boy, that was quite the Second Line! Not everyone gets to take over Canal Street at Christmas time!!
We had a fantastic experience with Red M Studio. They made things super simple on our wedding day and I would recommend them to anyone getting married in New Orleans.

The photos captured every single thing I wanted my wedding to be. It was beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take these gorgeous pictures!

Thank you, Gabbi! We were delighted to take part in your special day!
The Red M Studio shot a sweet backyard elopement for my grandson& his new bride. Marianne & Steve were very professional in catching all the sweet moments that the bride & groom will have for a lifetime. They made sure we had a short preview vi...

Thank you! It was our pleasure. There were so many sweet moments and we were happy to be there to capture them!
Marianne and Steve were absolutely FABULOUS. They were such a joy to work with. They were patient with us, sweet, kind, and the end result of their efforts was brilliant and stunning. My bridesmaids and close family members can't stop talking a...

Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2017
Thanks Maddy and Brandon! Loved working with you guys ... you guys brought the magic, we just told the story!!!
Marianne and Steve were wonderful photographers on my wedding day. During the planning, we checked in a couple times to talk about the schedule and how to get the best pictures. We even met in person about a month before the wedding to check on...
the light in different places. On the wedding day, they showed up early to make sure we had enough time to capture all of the details. Marianne was great, encouraging us to be comfortable throughout the couple and group photos, and always nudging us just into the right spot to capture beautiful light. I wanted lots of detail shots, and Steve was excellent in capturing them. They had great energy through the party and the second line and caught some wonderful moments of people having tons of fun.
One of the best parts about the Red M Studio is that they got my pictures back to me in two and a half weeks! They even hand-delivered the files to me at my office. I am obsessed with my pictures, they are all so beautiful. I relive my wedding day every time I look through them.
I cannot recommend The Red M Studio enough. I look forward to being their client for life.
Response from the Vendor on 11/16/2017
Awe, thanks for your kind words, Lydia and Jackson! We loved working with you guys and are still swooning over all of your beautiful details! We would be honored to be your photogs for life!! Cheers!!!!
Photog for our wedding. They were magnificent!! They made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were incredible. We are already planning our 5 year anniversary party and Red M Studio absolutely MUST be there to document. Seriously, get on bo...

Working with Marianne and Steve was an absolute dream. They made us feel at ease, and helped to capture photos that looked and felt like "us." They had an intuitive sense of our personalities and brought that out of us with comfort and good hum...

I love The Red M Studio! Marianne and Steve have been wonderful to work with. For our engagement shoot, they went out of their way to get all the crazy shots that I requested and we couldn't be happier with the result. They have a passion for p...
hotography that is evident in all their beautiful pictures. Not to mention, their prices are the most reasonable I found in the city. Can't say enough good things about them!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2017
Thanks so much, Christy! We can't wait for your wedding!!!!
When I met Marianne and Steve I know I had to have them as our wedding photographers! I was drawn to their creativity and how they told a story with the moments they captured. Marianne and Steve were professional, down to earth and went above...
and beyond in the photos they took. I LOVE my pictures. I highly recommend them.
The Red M Studio is perfection! It’s not just the magical moment that they capture, its also their professionalism and organization. Formal shots were a breeze thanks to Steve’s skills at logistical Tetras and Marianne’s mastery behind the came...
ra. For every person they take a picture of, they have a magical intuition of the perfect moment….the moment when you are your best you.
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2017
Thanks Daniel! We loved working with you and Joe. You guys are the best!!!
Red M Studios! I hope they are available to capture your special event. I will never go to anyone else. Marianne and Steve are the most fabulously talented photographers I have ever met! Every detail creatively and expertly attended to, and e...
very single request beautifully fulfilled. And then they went to work! What a delight to have all the special moments of our big day captured with such fun people in such an artistic way. The absolute best!
We are so happy that Marianne and Steve were the ones taking our wedding photos. We fell in love with them after the first meeting. Since we live in the same city, it was easy to discuss details about the wedding in person, which is very helpfu...
l (I personally like to do them in person instead of via email or over the phone). Our wedding was in the beginning of 2017 and one of the coldest nights in New Orleans (in the 30s!!). They took the time to make sure everything is set up perfectly before the ceremony. We didn't even notice they were there throughout the ceremony. We got married at House of Broel and wanted to have some pictures taken in the garden because it was too cold to have the ceremony outdoors that night. Marianne and Steve were total champs and were out there in the cold with us for a long time to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. We are still slowly going through pictures but all our friends absolutely love the pictures and we can't wait to slowly go through each of them! Thanks guys!
Response from the Vendor on 04/30/2017
Brrr ... it was a little nippy, but it was our pleasure to get the pics you had your hearts set on. That's what hats and gloves are made for! We loved working with you guys! Thanks for a great review.
We could not have asked for a better duo team. Marianne and Steve did a fantastic job capturing the most beautiful moments of our daugther's wedding day. They both make the experience so fun . They are both very creative and compliment each oth...
er as you can see through the finished product. Everyone they encountered throughout the evening said how sweet they were. A great couple duo for a wedding or any party.
Penny and I were married on October 1, 2016 at the Jefferson Orleans, and the day was captured perfectly by Marianne and Steve Sabrier. They were with us from start to finish and took all the stress out of the picture taking process. They are...
the perfect compliment to one another in their personal and professional lives, which is likely why they are so perfectly suited for this job.
We also chose to do a post-wedding-shoot; which was a great idea as we were able to relax without the normal stress and tight schedule of the wedding day. Marianne and Steve helped us get into the venue we wanted and were creative and responsive making for a terrific shoot. They were also very open to input and our ideas; and that was an especially big deal to me as I shot weddings professionally for over five years. As a groom, and a former professional shooter I was impressed on all levels.
After our wedding and post-wedding shoot they continued to “wow” us with a wonderful evening at their in-home studio to go through our pictures and answer any questions we had about accessing pictures or ordering prints. We were treated to a slideshow of Marianne and Steve’s favorite pics set to a soundtrack made just for us.
Penny and I could not be more pleased with our pictures and the fantastic job by this dynamic team. They told our love story beautifully. Marianne and Steve are what everybody wants for their wedding photography.
Sincerest Thanks,
Jason & Penny Taix
Response from the Vendor on 11/29/2016
Awe, Penny & Jason, thank you so much! We loved working with you guys ... so much love. And coming from a fellow photographer, this means so much to us.
The Red M Studio blew us away with their professionalism. Marianne and Steve worked with us to capture memories from our wedding that we would not have wanted to trust to anyone else. From the beginning when we took our engagement photos, they...
took time to learn our story and really connected with us. We even saw them in our church a few weeks before the wedding checking the lighting for our wedding. The attention to little details really meant a lot to us. On the day of the wedding Marianne even took the time to calm my nerves and help me get through the craziness that was taking place. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much Marianne and Steve for working with us and taking such great care with capturing our memories.
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2017
And what a story it is!!! Love, love, love your love story! So glad we were there to be a part of your wedding day!
We had a May wedding and we selected New Orleans for our destination. All of the planning was done over the phone and on the internet. Dealing with these WONDERFUL people was a pleasure. From the beginning, my wife and I knew this was going ...
to be a wonderful experience. As the wedding got closer, they even sent us a package which included some special touches. We both thought it was a great gesture. Marianne and Steve were very professional. They had us fill out paperwork as to the relationship(s) of everyone being photographed so as not to make a social mistake. I thought that this was a really nice personal touch. When we arrived in New Orleans, they organized a time a few days before the wedding when we could meet them. The photography sessions were well planned, so they were quick and not disruptive to our reception and our guests. The shots that they got were AMAZING! We LOVED every single picture! The package in which the images were delivered was very impressive and professional. Absolutely love these fun people and will definitely use them again for any future needs!
I am a hair and makeup artist that has worked with Marianne on a few photoshoots. She has an upbeat personality and is great at making people feel very comfortable before capturing beautiful images. I would highly recommend her!
I literally could not imagine a better photography company for a wedding. They were extremely easy to work with, down to earth, and great people. Our conversations leading up to the wedding were always enjoyable while still focusing on the task...
s at hand. The day of the wedding could not have gone smoother and Red M was a big part in that. The pictures also turned out fantastic.
Marianne and Steve did our engagement photos, and they were true champs. As a couple, my fiancée and I fly in the face of tradition, and The Red M Studio's attention to that fact shows just as much in the pictures as it did during the experienc...
e of taking them. Because we're a bit goofy and non-traditional, we were concerned about posing and feeling inauthentic. We wanted them to capture US and WHO WE ARE - not just move our arms around like mannequins, snapping a few shots when we were posed the right way.
They totally got it.
They crammed into our tiny apartment with us, chased us back and forth on the ferry, and even captured our stubborn cat - all for the sake of showing the genuine vibe of our relationship. It was awesome! When they showed us the photos and gave us the files, my fiancée was *squealing* with delight.
We're definitely getting a few of these photos printed in large format on canvas for the apartment. I highly recommend them!
Marianne and Steve were an amazing team; They listened to our concerns about not wanting a traditional engagement shoot, and tailored our poses and locations as such. They were so fun and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable (we...
are not accustomed to having our picture taken that much).
We heard back from Marianne with proofs of our photos so quickly, and the presentation when we picked up the files made us feel so special. The photos blew me away! I was shrieking with joy. I couldn't believe the shots they got. I was absolutely thrilled. I can't wait to use them again.
It was truly a pleasure working with the dynamic team at The Red M Studio. They were very organized in the planning leading up to the wedding and provided great insight for pre-ceremony photos around the French quarter. Both were calm and patie...
nt with all my guests throughout the entire day which was helpful as well. Most importantly the team was timely the day of and very easy to work with.
The Red M Studio team was with us for most of the day, taking pictures before the ceremony, during and after until almost the end of the reception. They captured all the family and friend shots we needed and we were left with plenty of time for creative, artistic and romantic shots as well. We didn’t realize how beautiful the photos would be until we saw them. Marianne & Steve really have a great eye for a beautiful shot and we will treasure the photos for a lifetime.
I would certainly recommend The Red M Studio to anyone!
They call themselves, The Red M Studio. I call them the dynamic duo. I cannot say enough good things about the powerhouse team of Marianne and Steve, mostly what a pleasure it was to work with these two incredibly talented, patient individual...
s.
As an encore bride, I wasn’t looking for the Cinderella experience of a 21 year old, and yet they artistically showed the beauty of woman I have become, my distinguished handsome groom and most importantly, they conveyed the love between us through pictures. At no point did I feel rushed or stressed, they took the time to capture the true “us” -- and our larger than life families with grace and professionalism. They have a gift for making everyone feel at ease, relaxed and real – and then they get the shot.
This is not your momma’s wedding photography, you will not see the same old tired poses unless you request them, but rather they will find everything special about your day and capture every special moment beautifully telling the story of YOUR love and YOUR special day. They seek out the details that make your day unique. They tell YOUR story, even better than YOU will remember it on that surreal day.
The images themselves are stunning right out of the camera but they take it a step further post production manually enhancing them to show you in your best light without relying on trendy filters or gimmicky presets that have become so cliché, there’s enough of that on instagram! You will have heirloom quality images that will you will proud to display for generations.
I’ve known Marianne for years and although her business was relatively new at the time of our wedding, I knew what an energetic creative person she is. I’d been a fan of her work for years. I knew what a fresh creative approach she would bring to telling our story. She and Steve are an amazing team in business and in life and their professionalism, commitment to excellence and passion for what they do is apparent in every single image. So, if you want to have a great wedding experience and preserve your precious memories, here’s a tip: Pick a date and call the Red M Studio, if they are already booked, pick another date! This is the second most important check you will write (only behind the marriage license) because once the party is over, all you have left are your memories and your photographs. Make them count.

Wow, Rose, you are making us blush! Thanks for such a glowing review! And thanks for trusting us with your memories!
Marianne & Steve were so much fun to work with. I needed a photographer that was fun and I got it. They shot my rehearsal dinner, second line (in light rain), and wedding. I loved that they got to know my guests too. My photos turned out amazin...
g. I could not have been more happy with Red M Studio. They were even patient enough to deal with my husband who hates taking pictures!
Marianne and Steve were great! I definately picked a great team to photograph my wedding. They were very professional and all aspects of their work went smoothly. They took a variety of creative shots that were amazing. The wedding video co...
llage was incredible. I received compliments on it every time I shared it with friends that were not able to attend the wedding (and from those that saw it and did go). They created wonderful memories for us and it is fun working with a husband and wife team.
I cannot express the amount of appreciation I have for Marianne. They do not disappoint and are nothing less than amazing! Every moment was captured and yet they were never in the way. Simply brilliant!
As a first time bride of 40 something, engagement pictures were very important to me. Red M worked with us to find out exactly what we wanted. Marianne took the time to get to know us and our personalities. She did the shoot in our backyard and...
transformed a simple wood fence into a beautiful, rustic setting. My husband is VERY quiet and shy, refuses to show his teeth when he smiles and is not an easy subject. She worked miracles! I have some of the sweetest pictures of his precious smile. She captured our love and relationship in so many wonderful pictures. I highly recommend working with Marianne and The Red M Studio. You will not be disappointed.
My husband and I eloped to New Orleans with little in the way of planning - intentionally. I found Marianne through a Google search! Boy did we get lucky. Once we connected, she sent me to her professional website where I saw what I was looking...
for... a photographer who captures moments, not just images. I noticed that Marianne's clients were brides of all ages and not all of them sweet young things. Yet every one looked radiant, youthful, happy, just gorgeous. Her work really appealed to me. When the day came, I admit my husband and I were rather dependent on Marianne for decisions because we really were "just winging it." She and her husband Steve had it covered for us, right down to the best place to stand in the park for our ceremony. We really had a fun time taking photos before and after, and I must say, Marianne showed kindness and good taste in the frames she selected and improved for us to keep. I know I'm not that photogenic, but Marianne's work made us both look beautiful. We continue to be super happy with our wedding photos and album, and we enjoy staying in touch with Marianne and Steve. They will forever be a major part of our special day.

Marianne's beautiful photography captured our engagement and wedding celebrations perfectly. Marianne was a dream to work with - she is full of talent, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and passionate about photography. Marianne exceeded our ...

Couldn't be happier with her and her output. She comes to the venue before hand and shot photos so she will always get the lighting right in her photos. They have an eye for this art form. They always try to get that one image of the it imag...
