When I first decided to plan a destination wedding from New Jersey to New Orleans, I had no idea where to even begin. How would I possibly find quality vendors from afar? As I began the planning process, I started asking around and researching. Not only did Roddy Orgeron (Studio Orleans Photography) immediately come up with outstanding reviews, multiple vendors I spoke with around the city also suggested his work. After reviewing the website and seeing such talent, I could envision the same for my own wedding. I decided to give him a call. His immediate response was impressive but actually talking to him on the phone put me at ease. We connected instantly and I found his approach to be truly sincere and caring. He wasn't out to "sell" me but more to support me and my vision. After hanging up the phone, I felt compelled this was the right choice for me. And boy was it! From all of my questions, calls and emails, there was nothing that went unanswered or unplanned. Roddy assured me that it would be perfect and that it was my day to enjoy, not to stress over. He advised me to take it all in and let him capture the memories of the day. When Roddy and Jay showed up to greet me during bridal prep, it felt like old friends coming to be a part of it all. Their attention to detail was incredible. The ease, flow and direction they gave helped keep everything running smoothly and on time. They were great listeners and most importantly, fun! They helped my husband and me to enjoy our most memorable day in our favorite city. The experience was perfect in every way. When the pictures were presented, I was in LOVE. He captured the vintage, southern feel I envisioned while making sure to highlight the spirit of New Orleans. When I say the pictures were incredible, they were. I could not have chosen a better photographer. Their talent and artistic ability is truly remarkable. Studio Orleans has an amazing reputation for a reason. The only hard part of the process, out of everything, is now selecting which ones to frame because they are are all so amazing!. Thank you Roddy and Jay for being you. For being genuine and making our wedding day one to cherish. Top Notch, all the way! Kristy and Dan Panckeri, NJ 11/20/16 read more

We decided to elope in New Orleans last month (Oct 2014). We travelled from Canada and we knew we needed a top notch photographer, because the pictures would be the only way to share the day with our loved ones. Having been a make up artist for a very long, I've worked with many professional photographers. After googling for a photographer, the ONLY photographer that stood out for me was Roddy! The quality of his work spoke for itself and I wasn't the least bit nervous about booking him. Thankfully, he was available! Right from the moment we met Roddy (AT our ceremony- lol) we loved him! He was funny, really nice, and extremely professional. He showed us some pictures on the screen of his camera as he went...and we just KNEW we made the right decision. Our only 2 requests for our pictures was that they capture our love for each other, and capture the essence of New Orleans. RODDY NAILED IT. Everyone who's seen the pictures has been floored by his talent. Here we are, only 1 month later and the Memory stick with all the pictures on it arrived in the mail. My only regret is not having booked Roddy for another hour or two. lol. If you're having a French Quarter Wedding, or if you're eloping in new orleans, I highly recommend Roddy Orgeron Photography. read more

We researched several photographers for our wedding this past March and they were either too expensive or we were not impressed by their portfolios. Then we came across Roddy Orgeron's website. We immediately loved his style of photography and his packages were in our budget! From the first time Roddy and I spoke to even after the wedding, he was always so friendly, professional and helpful! He made us feel very comfortable before and on the day of the wedding. It was also great to have 2 people photographing instead of one. Our guests were even saying how great a job our photographer did because they were everywhere snapping away! We got our pictures back exactly when he said we would, we did not have to "chase" him down like I have heard other people having to do. We were so pleased at how the pictures came out and how many we got! He was able to capture the important moments and some great candid ones as well. We could not be happier with our choice in Roddy! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer! read more

Roddy is awesome!!!! He took our engagement, bridal and the wedding photos and they all came out SO GOOD! Roddy was very easy to work with and constantly made us laugh! My husband does not like taking pictures AT ALL and he really enjoyed working with Roddy. He knows how to make you feel comfortable and guide you, but look natural. For the engagement pictures, Roddy was willing to go wherever we wanted and even have our puppy in some of the shots (my favorite ones)! At the wedding, he was everywhere! I do not even know how he captured some of the pictures because we did not notice him and his assistant at all. His turn-around time is also very quick! All of our wedding pictures are done and he mailed me a flash drive already... our wedding wasn't even a month ago!! I cannot wait to order prints and display them all over our home!!!! read more

I hired Roddy to take some headshots to use for a professional photo. But I didn't want to have the pictures taken in the studio because I feel too stiff in that environment. I suggested we try places in the New Orleans CBD. From the beginning, he was open to doing things this way--flexible, helpful. We met in Lafayette Park, and in a short half-hour session, he took a whole bunch of shots against a couple of backgrounds. The photos are beautiful. He was able to bring out the best of me--without lots of equipment or fussing. He was prompt in responding to me by email and text. He was on time. He was easy to be with. And he was able to send me five electronic images within 24 hours. I'm completely satisfied and recommend him highly. read more

I can say in complete confidence that the best choice I made in my wedding (besides my choice in groom) was hiring Roddy (& his assistant Jamie) as our photographers! The overall experience with him went way beyond what I had imagined or expected. They worked so quickly to capture the meaningful moments of our day. The only thing we were bummed about after our wedding was how quickly the day flew by. Fortunately, we chose Roddy to capture our wedding so now we can relive and remember our special day through his beautiful images! I would highly recommend him to EVERYONE we know. I'm beyond thrilled and thankful he was there for our wedding day. Thanks Roddy! read more

March 16th. Houston Texas. Roddy did my niece's wedding on Feb 22nd and I just received the pictures I ordered. That was so fast. I was amazed that he had the proofs online in just a few weeks. Once I opened the envelope, I was so totally thrilled with the quality of the photographs. He is a true artist and the lighting was perfection...which is the true gift of a great photographer. I have been a professional makeup artist in Houston for over 30 years and have worked with the best photographers in the industry. He surpassed all of my expectations. He is amazing, and so easy to work with. Book Him! Donna Abate read more

Roddy and his assistant did an amazing job for our wedding in May 2013. He got all of the formal pictures along with some great candid shots. We were all wondering how he was able to capture so many intimate moments throughout the ceremony and reception. He got to my house right on time and stayed later when the reception continued to party for 20 more minutes. He also had my pictures ready to view in 2 weeks, which is unheard of! I highly recommend Roddy! read more

Roddy was awesome! Both he and Jay were so easy to work with, if you can call it work. They were both extremely professional, and truly captured the celebration our wedding was. The were able to capture so many great photos of us, our family, and our friends. The pictures they took truly allow both my wife and I to re-live the entire night, and time preceding the wedding. Thank you both for giving us a gift that will last for many years to come. read more

I will recommend Roddy Orgeron Photography to anyone because he was such a joy to work with (which every couple needs!) and his talent exceeds expectations. read more

We hired Roddy for our elopement ceremony at the Pharmacy Museum in New Orleans and were so pleased. From the very beginning he kept the ceremony sacred by blending in to the surroundings.
