CHAD POPULIS PHOTOGRAPHY AND PHOTO BOOTH RENTALS

Greetings! I'm Chad, a South Louisiana Wedding photographer and New Orleans videographer who also captures boudoir photo shoots, professional headshots, and real estate pictures. Creating images has always been my hobby, from comic drawings and graffiti as a youth to graphics and web design as a young adult. Through those experiences, I became "technically proficient" at image and video editing and manipulating my equipment. It wasn't until 2016, after being repeatedly requested to capture events, that I seriously had the idea to pursue this as a career. My hobby has now become my passion and a viable profession. Armed with a variety of high-quality gear, years of technical experience, my personal philosophy of creative simplicity, and a thirst for perfection paired with the guidance of my client's vision, I'm certain that we can find a direction that produces beautiful images. I am passionate about capturing the moments that matter most with a unique blend of photojournalistic and traditional shooting styles. This approach allows me to create images that are rich in authenticity and emotion. With extensive training across a variety of niches and styles, I integrate diverse techniques into every shoot, ensuring that each set of photographs has a broader, more dynamic appeal. ​​ I am dedicated to making sure each photo I take feels organic and genuine, conveying the real emotions of the moment. While posed and staged shots have their place and can be beautifully executed, I believe that the best images emerge naturally and spontaneously, capturing the true essence of the occasion. Whether it's the glimmer of excitement in a bride's eye, the spontaneous laughter at a family gathering, or the candid interactions during a corporate event, I strive to immortalize these fleeting moments in a way that feels both timeless and true.
