She is the consummate professional, even when my family is determined not to cooperate to the best of their ability. She has been there with my family through births, holidays, graduations, engagements and more. Her photos are always some of my very favorites.

Terrible Communication and Unfulfilled Order 1 star…read more I had a frustrating experience with Davillier Photography. I placed an order on July 23, 2024, and waited weeks without any updates. I tried calling multiple times to follow up, but no one responded. When I finally got through in August because they reached out me by phone after several emails, they explained the lack of communication was due to an issue with their automated email system. But, by then, I felt I had been defrauded -- there was zero communication, and no product or service had been rendered. Prior this call, I decided not to proceed with my order which was stated in writing to the company and disputed the charge with my bank. I explained this to them in detail when finally getting a call by their owner, yet somehow they still told my bank that the purchase was valid, even though I received nothing. This charge still remains on my account while the company is refuting having received compensation. As of today, October 28, 2024, I have not received a refund and while I do not want any - nor have I received products or services. Terrible experience all around. I would definitely not recommend doing business with this company.

Twirl has been our go-to for portraits for nearly two decades, with photos of everyone from babies…read moreto the old folks. The photographer behind Twirl always suggests an excellent location and timing so you get magical photos. No surprise there: some of the historic photos published in the Times Picayune from the Katrina era were hers. Ditto some actors' head shots you may see in posters and programs for shows around town. She's even got a Pulitzer to show for it (the journalism, not the head shots). But enough about her background. You'll start with a dialogue defining what you want to come out of your session. Then when the time (and light) is right, meet up with Jenn for a dynamic photo session with a mix of carefully posed compositions and some carefree, "just look like you're running to the ice cream truck!" shots. It's busy but a lot of fun. Out of all that, expect some good choices for your album.

Jennifer recently photographed my headshots. I knew I needed new portraits of myself, but I was…read moredreading it because I hate being in front of the camera. Jennifer quickly assured me that it would be painless, and she was absolutely right. She coached me through the whole session made me laugh, and it felt like I was actually working with a friend. This was my first experience of actually enjoying being in front of the camera. I look like a better version of myself without it looking stiff or retouched. If you are looking for an easy stress-free, headshot or portrait session run to contact Jennifer she is truly amazing! Thanks again I actually really love my photos! Thanks Twirl Photography!!

A few years ago, Yelper Vicky L. asked to see my engagement pictures. I joked that my divorce would…read morecome through before my engagement pictures appeared. It turns out that I will actually get gay divorced (thanks, SCOTUS!) before my engagement pictures or a refund for my engagement pictures arrives. You know, the engagement pictures we took in 2008 or so. Yeah, Maile is fun. I'm sure she's a great photographer, but I wouldn't know because I've never actually seen my pictures. First we were told that the disc of pictures was lost in the mail. Then she claimed they were lost to a hard-drive accident (or a memory card accident or something) 6 months after our engagement session in Jackson Square. Did she offer us a refund? Nope. Did we pay in cash, up front? Yep. Did she offer to make it up? Nope. And hey look, now I'm getting a divorce so even an offer to make it right 7 years later would miss the mark like whoa. If you are laying out the cold hard wedding cash, wouldn't you want a photographer who actually delivers? Because Maile doesn't. Didn't. At least I don't need to host a ceremonial burial for my ill-fated engagement pictures...? Whatever. No consolation. Accessibility notes: none.

I saw Maile last fall in Nashville. I actually needed a photographer who would be able to see us on…read moreshort notice as I was only passing through and needed artistic portraits done for my cousin who was on her way to NY to meet with potential agents for her acting career. Maile was gracious and while she was very busy, she agreed to fit us in her schedule and spent 5 hours with us in the VERY LATE evening to accommodate her insane schedule. The portraits turned out beautifully. While she is specialized in wedding photography and my cousin is a natural beauty, she created stunning portraits in a night time style that differs from the norm and thus stood out in a portfolio. Some people are just naturally talented and Maile is one of them. She was professional but made you feel like you were her long lost best friend and time had not skipped a beat. I will need portraits myself shortly, and you bet your sweet tooth I will be making a special trip to Nashville to see her. While I am not sure I will ever agree to get married again, which is an entirely different story, should someone convince me, I would also fly her in to whatever location to immortalize it.

I booked because I read a lot of great reviews about Heather and Jamie, and Heather said she would…read morebe the lead photographer when I signed the contract. Three days prior to the wedding she had someone else text me that she couldn't make it due to a hip surgery, even though I talked to her a week prior and she acted like she would be there. I reached out to Heather to voice my concerns and she had an excuse for just about everything so I left it at that. Aside from the two photographers that did show up, were kind, and did a great job, the company's management style, including editing and album design felt depersonalized, half-assed and shady. I definitely got the vibe that as a New Orleans client I wasn't a priority and was more of a money grab now that Heather and Jaime have moved to Houston.

We were incredibly disappointed with our entire experience with Dark Roux. While we did get some…read morevery nice photos, overall we felt that we did not get the product advertised. We spent almost $5000 for about 480 pictures (for 2 photographers and a 7-hour session) that, in our opinion, did not come close to resembling the quality of the photos advertised. There is a whole story here of what we went through with the company, our credit card company, and the accusations by this company on their social media regarding our experience-however, it's not worth going into it. For any couple looking to hire a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend asking to view the ENTIRE portfolio from any company's most recent wedding before making your decision to hire someone for this very important day. If you want to see our wedding portfolio from this company, ask for the Nichols wedding from March 2020-make sure you get the whole set (again, about 480 photos). We posted a few of the many photos we received from Dark Roux that we feel were unusable below.

I 100000000% recommend this cute little chapel for your wedding!!!…read more The entire process was so effortless and stress free! I really couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out. We are from California and decided to get married here, at the French Quarter Wedding Chapel. We booked our wedding about 2 months in advance and got married 7/25/2025. We chose the standard wedding package and added a few extras: the bridal bouquet, groom's boutonniere, flower girl basket, and an upgraded photography package. Reverend Cassandra Watson brought so much warmth and joy to our ceremony. She made me feel so comfortable and happy. Teresa Newman, our photographer, captured some absolutely stunning photos of us. We also had a violinist playing sweet music and a greeter who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Since we were flying back to California a few days after the wedding, we took our marriage license to the Jefferson Parish General Government Center right after the ceremony to have it recorded immediately. It was a quick and easy process. I am so truly grateful for the experience and the hospitality of the entire French Quarter Wedding Chapel Team. Thank you so much for making our special day so memorable.

In a shabby chic, imagine the history kind of way that I'm absolutely in LOVE with! Teresa, our officiant, was great! She was nice, made us feel at ease, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Cons: Literally everything else. When they took my deposit, they said I didn't need to let them know any of my package preferences as "We'd talk several times before the big day." I NEVER heard from them again despite a dozen emails, phone calls, and voicemails trying to get in touch. I actually thought they had taken our deposit and were ripping us off. I was actually investigating last minute elopement ideas that were going to cost double as I was so scared I'd been scammed. They actually never called us back. We had a friend's cousin who called with a local number. They picked up immediately and said of course they were open for business. Originally I was going to get a cake, a champagne toast, and after being ignored, I just went with the simple package and a photos. Which brings me to my last con. The photos are TERRIBLE!!!! The lighting is terrible. Almost half of them are blurry. So many eyes closed shots that are completely unusable. Even simple things, like we were holding up our license and my side was lower (I'm 6 inches shorter), and he didn't bother to tell us it was crooked. DO NOT USE THEIR PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!! Find your own unless you want your family's cell phone shots to be the best ones. I'm heartbroken about this.
