I started my photography career in Chicago (I shot my first wedding in 1997), and moved to New Orleans in 2003.  I LOVE the amazing food, live music, cocktails, and unique culture in the Northernmost Caribbean city (aka New Orleans).  I've been a musician since I was 7 years old, and was a Music Therapist, working with kids, for 8 years before I became a full time photographer. I still play music around New Orleans when I can and host the Vinyl Wino Salon Series and Tasting Tuesdays in the Treme.  When I'm not shooting weddings, I'm shooting adventure travel images around the world.  I've been to Mount Everest twice and have climbed some of the biggest mountains in the word over the last 23 years (check out www.marcpagani.com for some fun pics). My book about travel photography was published in 2012.    

Some of the accolades I'm proud of:  I was named one of the Top-10 Wedding Photojournalist worldwide by the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalists Association, and was again listed in the Top-50 the following year. Theknot.com has named me a "Best of Weddings" winner several years in a row, and weddingwire.com named me a "Bride's Choice" (awarded to the top 5% of photographers nationwide). You can easily find me listed on the web under "New Orleans wedding photography", "New Orleans Wedding Photographer", "New Orleans Wedding Photojournalism", "Destination Wedding Photography", or "New Orleans Photographer".
