10 out of 10!! Darren shot a surprise engagement for my son, and his now fiancé, and he was incredible to work with, from the very first interaction, to the very end! I wish we lived in the area because he would be our photographer for EVERYTHING. He helped open up the shy couple and captured so many amazing and fun looks. These photos will be cherished forever. So happy that we decided to go with Darren! Don’t hesitate, book him today!

It was a pleasure working with Darren, and we’re so happy with the final photos! Darren was professional in all aspects, from our initial call and providing suggestions for the engagement location, to meeting early to take test photos to make sure the flash worked on our skin complexion, and giving tips to enjoy New Orleans during the rest of our stay. We got photos via a Dropbox link and are so happy with the quality and diversity of photos, from the couple to the family and friends. If we ever have a special event in NOLA again, we’ll be delighted to have Darren capture the special moments for our family. Thank you for what you do, Darren!

Darren was absolutely fantastic! We contacted him two weeks before our wedding. He was fun, professional, and easy to contact and talk to. He gave us suggestions for times and locations for pictures to better capture the lighting and atmosphere. He was even flexible and generous enough to snap headshots of my sister-in-law after her unexpected request at our wedding. He gave us a timeframe for when the pictures would be completed, kept us informed, and asked us our opinion before touching up photos. The pictures were completed in less than two weeks and were easy to access. They are beautiful and we are very happy we chose him!
