Why Choose a Travel Wedding Photographer?
Consistency and Trust
When you hire a photographer who specializes in travel weddings, you’re ensuring that your photos will be captured with the same style and attention to detail, no matter where your wedding takes place. Whether you're exchanging vows in the Texas Hill Country or beneath Spanish moss-draped trees in Louisiana, our approach remains the same—timeless, authentic storytelling.
Seamless Travel and Expertise
We’ve spent years traveling for weddings and have learned how to navigate different lighting conditions, weather patterns, and venue layouts. Whether it’s handling the high humidity of a New Orleans summer wedding or adjusting for the golden glow of a Texas sunset, we know how to adapt to any setting.
Best Wedding Venues in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana
Texas: Big Skies & Diverse Backdrops
Hill Country Vineyards & Ranches
Texas Hill Country is a dream for couples who love rustic elegance. Venues like Camp Lucy and The Addison Grove offer rolling landscapes, stunning sunsets, and a mix of modern and vintage aesthetics. One of our couples, Emily and Ryan, had their wedding at a vineyard outside Fredericksburg. As they shared their first dance under twinkling lights, the sky turned into a watercolor masterpiece—one of those moments we live to capture.
Downtown & Historic Hotels
For couples who prefer a more urban vibe, cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston offer historic hotels like The Driskill or The Adolphus. These venues blend vintage charm with modern luxury, making for stunning indoor and rooftop portraits.
Coastal Weddings
Texas has a coastline, and yes, beach weddings here are breathtaking! If you dream of saying “I do” with the ocean as your backdrop, check out Galveston or Corpus Christi. The sea breeze, soft sand, and pastel sunsets create the perfect romantic setting.
Arkansas: Natural Beauty & Southern Charm
Ozark Mountain Retreats
Arkansas offers some of the most scenic wedding locations in the South. Places like The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs or Sassafras Springs Vineyard in Springdale provide breathtaking views of the Ozark Mountains. One of our favorite weddings here was a mountaintop ceremony where the couple exchanged vows with a panoramic view of autumn-colored trees. Nature at its finest!
Historic Southern Mansions
Little Rock and Hot Springs are home to some stunning historic venues like The Anthony Chapel and The Grandeur House. These venues exude classic elegance, with wraparound porches, lush gardens, and timeless architecture.
Lakeside & River Weddings
If you love the idea of waterfront wedding photos, consider Lake Ouachita or Buffalo River. The calm, reflective waters make for incredible sunset portraits, and the peaceful atmosphere adds to the romance of the day.
Louisiana: Timeless Romance & Vibrant Culture
French Quarter & Garden District
New Orleans weddings are unlike any other! Whether you’re hosting your wedding at The Ritz-Carlton or in a charming courtyard in the Garden District, the city’s history and ambiance make for incredible photos. We once photographed a second-line parade through the French Quarter, with the bride and groom leading the way—it was pure magic!
Plantation Estates
Louisiana’s plantations, such as Oak Alley and Houmas House, provide a stunning mix of history and grandeur. The century-old oak trees draped in Spanish moss make for iconic wedding portraits that feel straight out of a storybook.
Bayou & Waterfront Venues
For couples who love unique settings, Louisiana’s bayous and riverfront venues offer something special. The atmospheric lighting, lush greenery, and tranquil waters create an unforgettable wedding backdrop.
How We Approach Wedding Photography in These States
Telling Your Story with Authenticity
Our goal is to capture your wedding day in a way that feels natural and true to you. Whether it’s the joyful chaos of getting ready, the emotional first look, or the quiet moments you steal away together, we document it all with an artistic eye.
Making the Most of the Location
Every setting has something special to offer, and we love using natural landscapes and architectural details to enhance wedding photos. Texas sunsets, Arkansas’ rolling hills, and Louisiana’s dreamy courtyards each bring something different to the table, and we know how to make them shine.
Blending Candid and Editorial Styles
While we focus on real moments, we also create stunning portraits that look like they belong in a magazine. A mix of photojournalism and fine art ensures that your wedding gallery tells a complete story.
Tips for Stunning Wedding Photos in Each State
Texas: Golden Hour is Your Best Friend
The light in Texas just before sunset is absolutely breathtaking. If possible, schedule couples’ portraits about 30-45 minutes before sunset to get that dreamy, golden glow.
Arkansas: Embrace the Scenery
The natural beauty of Arkansas is one of its best features. Opt for outdoor ceremonies and be sure to plan time for portraits among the trees, hills, or lakeshores.
Louisiana: Go with the Flow
Whether it’s unexpected rain or a lively street performance, Louisiana weddings have a way of surprising you. Some of our favorite wedding photos have come from embracing those spontaneous moments!
