The most vibrant photo locations in New Orleans
Keep reading for my favorite New Orleans locations!
New Orleans is one of the most vibrant cities in America so it goes without saying that your photos are going to magical ✨
Check out my list of favorite spots to photograph around the city!
City Park
I LOVE shooting in City Park! I recommend this location for a lot of my couples and families that want room to roam, big southern oaks, and beautiful greenery. And the best part…you can get beignets at Cafe Du Monde after!!
Reasons I love City Park:
Ample parking
Easy to get to
Beautiful Langles Bridge
Variety of locations within the park
Beignets!!!
2. Audubon Park
Audubon Park is a great location if you’re uptown! I recommend this location for a lot of my grads because it’s located next to the Tulane and Loyola campuses. It’s also great for couples and families because there’s a lot of space to work with along some beautiful oaks and wildlife.
Reasons I love Audubon Park:
The Tree of Life
Gumbel Fountain
Variety of locations within the park
Next to the streetcar!!
Jackson Square
Jackson Square is a big favorite of mine! I recommend this location for a lot of my couples getting engaged. It’s got the quintessential New Orleans charm and is surrounded by so many great spots to photograph. The only kicker is it requires a permit to shoot in but I’m happy to help take care of those detials! And the best part…you can get beignets at Cafe Du Monde after!!
Reasons I love Jackson Square:
Full of New Orleans charm
Lots of beautiful areas to photograph
Surrounded by beautiful French Quarter architecture
Beignets!!!
The Botanical Gardens at City Park
The Botanical Gardens are such a vibe! I recommend this location for my couples that want something a little more unique and private. There is a photo permit fee but it’s so worth it in my opinion! And the best part…you can get beignets at Cafe Du Monde after!!
Reasons I love the Botanical Gardens:
Ample parking
Unique!
Variety of locations within the gardens
A little more private than City Park in general
Exchange Place and Pirate’s Alley in the French Quarter
These cute alleyways are so much fun to shoot in! I recommend these spots for my couples that want something a little more intimate within the quarter without losing the charm. They’re not completely private but they offer a little more seclusion than somewhere like Jackson Square.
Reasons I love the alleyways:
French Quarter charm
Unique and vibrant
Easily walkable
A little more intimate than Jackson Square
The Bywater
I may be a little biased because I live here but the Bywater is one of my favorite neighborhoods to shoot in. It’s colorful, walkable, quirky, and has no shortage of watering holes to take advantage of after your session!
Reasons I love the Bywater:
Ample parking
Quirky and colorful
Variety of locations within the neighborhood
Crescent Park!
