fine-art wedding photojournalism
since 1997
Imagine: You’re getting ready for one of the biggest days of your life , laughing with the people nearest and dearest to you. There’s a knock at the door. It’s the wedding photographer.
Who do you want to walk through that door?
If your answer is “a photographer who is calm, reassuring, professional, kinda goofy, who goes right to work capturing every smile, every tear, every moment and does it with ease, almost invisibly”, then Marc Pagani Photography has you covered.
New Orleans-based wedding photographer Marc Pagani has been in that exact situation over 1000 times (but who’s counting?) in the last 26 years, and his creativity, awareness of critical moments, attention to lighting, composition, and color show in each and every shot he takes. You’re in good hands with Marc.
“Marc did a FANTASTIC job capturing our wedding day. With his photojournalistic style, Marc has a knack for catching the authentic moments - the sweet kisses, the joyful smiles and tender moments of friends and family gathered on our special day. Everyone looked their best in his photos. Marc truly is an expert photographer and has the experience to back it up. We felt Marc was reasonably priced for the quality of work he provided. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of photos to remember the best day of our life. Thanks Marc!” -Abby N. + Mike P.
“Marc is AMAZING!! We are beyond thrilled with our photos. Marc made us feel relaxed throughout the day. We never felt rushed even as we took all our formal shots prior to the ceremony. We purchased a package and not only did we get an amazing amount of shots, but the creativity and quality were impressive. Over time we look through our photos, it is like reliving our amazing day. Thanks Marc!”
-Carol T. + Bobby U.
“Marc was everything and more we wanted in our wedding photographer. He was responsive, understood our style, and found a way to be literally everywhere at once during a very energetic, 200 person wedding! Even during our second line through the french quarter, he was able to get us, the band, and the 200 guests dancing behind us without missing a beat. Marc is an artist, and he noticed the lighting after the rainstorm was unique, so he pulled us outside for a minute to take some quick shots... which ended up being my absolute favorite photos of the whole wedding. I highly recommend working with him for wedding, engagement, or any other photography needs!”
-Rachel S. + Russell B.
“After seeing Marc's pictures on our venue's website we knew he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. He also offered several packages and pricing to choose from. He captured all the special moments of the wedding beautifully from the first look through the second line parade. He was professional and efficient using all the beautiful spaces at the venue and parade to capture unique moments of the day. And he did it all without us even noticing him there. While we expected that we would have to wait until after the holidays to get the proofs we were pleased to have them one week after the wedding. The hard part now will be choosing pictures for the wedding album from the large gallery he provided.” -Erin S. + Matt W.

Hi there, I’m Marc
When I started shooting weddings 26 years ago, I had no idea about the journeys I’d take with over 1000 couples and I feel so incredibly honored that they have chosen me to do what I love best. Being a part of an amazing wedding day, filled with so much love and laughter, makes me appreciate how lucky I am to be a wedding photographer here in New Orleans and in destinations around the world. My approach to wedding photography is imbued with a sense of creative storytelling. With 26 years of experience, I'm able to see the image before I press the shutter button, and I know that when I do, it's going to be exactly as I saw it in my head. That allows me to focus on being in the moment with every couple I shoot, while creating images that are full of emotion and beauty.
