THANK YOU BRANDON!! Brandon went above and beyond to ensure we had a special engagement. We traveled in from out of town to New Orleans, and he was extremely helpful in not only capturing our special moment but also helping with the planning! We are so IN LOVE with all the pictures he got!

Brandon, we can't thank you enough for photos we will cherish forever!-Jordan & HaleyView Photographer profile
Brandon was great, arrived on time, and was able to cover many great shots throughout the park. Highly recommended, and he took care of many details.-Chad GoodrichView Photographer profile
We love our photos Kerrigan was very helpful and quick!-DamianView Photographer profile
Kerrigan is awesome! She helped me confidently coordinate our photoshoot (and surprise proposal) at the Langles Bridge in the city park.

Not only did she perfectly capture our special moment, but all of our other photos came out great as well!

I'd definitely recommend Kerrigan to anyone looking to take great photos (or capture a proposal) in New Orleans!-JonathanView Photographer profile
We recently had the pleasure of working with Kerrigan for our surprise engagement, and couldn't be happier with the results!

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, every step of the process was seamless and filled with excitement.

The photos themselves are amazing, and were delivered quickly!

If you're looking for a talented photographer to capture your moment, look no further than Kerrigan.

Thank you for helping us create lasting memories that we will treasure forever!-Andrew & EvaView Photographer profile
Kerrigan was fantastic! She was always communicating with me once we booked. On the day of the photoshoot, it looked like it might rain, so we were working together to make sure we had a backup plan. She has a great eye, and we got some wonderful pics of our sweet family, especially of the grown-up kids. If she lived in my city, I would choose her for all our photo needs.-CallieView Photographer profile
Absolutely thrilled with the engagement photos by Kerrigan! They did an outstanding job capturing the special moments. The attention to detail and creativity truly made our photos unique. Communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth. A solid 10/10 experience! Highly recommend Kerrigan for anyone looking for a talented and professional engagement photographer.-Sam & RebeccaView Photographer profile
Thank you Meg! You made this experience so relaxed and fun. I will suggest you to anyone I know. Thank you again. - The Sisters-PennyView Photographer profile
Brandon was amazing in helping me coordinate the perfect proposal. We decided on Langles Bridge in City Park and it was incredible.

Thank you Brandon and would highly recommend you to anyone else.-Mike & DeannaView Photographer profile
Brandon did an excellent job coordinating with me on some great spots to propose.

Not knowing much of the city, he got an idea of what I wanted and gave me a few locations that would fit.

Not only was planning seamless and easy, but the photos came out even better than I imagined and my fiancé loved them! She was surprised by the whole thing, so he did very well making it look natural! 10/10 would recommend and would use again!-JoshView Photographer profile
