Marc Pagani Photography

Marc did a FANTASTIC job capturing our wedding day. Marc was easy to work with in coordinating the day-of planning and details virtually all via email/online since we planned a destination wedding. 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.The pictures from the ceremony, second line, and reception all turned out beautiful! 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. The images are spectacular and take me right back to the moment that's captured. We also choose Marc because of his website, his gallery, positive reviews and overall professional demeanor.We are so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of photos to remember the best day of our life. Thanks Marc! More...

When my fiance decided that he wanted to propose to me, he knew that it was going to take a talented photographer to capture a moment we would both remember forever. A friend recommended Marc to him and after taking a look at his portfolio, my fiance knew he was the one. The proposal idea was a little complicated and relied on a tight schedule, and Marc had no problem following the protocol. He showed up on time and fit perfectly into the plan so that he could capture the moment without me catching on to the fact that he was photographing us.Marc was able to capture the surprise, excitement and love that enveloped the proposal in City Park. He also took additional engagement shots of both of us in other areas of City Park and he has an eye for excellent backgrounds and the perfect lighting. The photographs turned out great and we will cherish them for many years to come. We can say in complete honesty that he was worth every single penny that my fiance spent and we can't wait to use him again for our wedding next year! More...

We used Marc for our daughter Sarah and Joshua's wedding four years ago. It was a hot summer day in July. The wedding was at the Destrehan. Plantation . Marc and his assistant captured the heart and essence of the vision they had for their wedding day...from the horse drawn carriage to a second line dance at the reception. He did an amazing job with their album and mine also. I would highly recommend Mr. Pagani. More...

I can't rave enough about Marc! From start to finish he was incredibly professional. My husband and I had a destination wedding in New Orleans with no friends or family local to the area. All weddings can be stressful, but destination weddings add the extra aspect of the unknown. Finding a qualified photographer who would be able to capture our wedding day was very important to me. You only have one opportunity to capture these moments. I reached out to Marc through his website and received a response while I was still searching photographers. This prompt response time was consistent throughout the months of planning that followed. Marc was always accessible and very transparent with all information about his services. We had Marc shoot our engagement pictures around the French Quarter. He had a number of great suggestions for locations we could shoot at and really has a great eye for light and framing. On our wedding day Marc was set up early, came fully prepared, and somehow captured all of the special moments throughout the day with the help of his associate photographer. The pictures from the ceremony, second line, and reception all turned out beautiful! There really are varying degrees of quality in photographers, even on the "simple" things like portraits. He's truly an artist and has the experience to back it up. I felt Marc was very reasonably priced for the quality of work he provided and everything that's included in the package we selected. Now that I've received the pictures from our wedding, I feel like we got an incredible deal. The images are spectacular and take me right back to the moment that's captured. It's true that you get what you pay for and Marc exceeded my expectations in every way. One key factor to planning a wedding or any large event is to work with exceptional vendors, and Marc Pagani is exactly that. More...

What an awesome experience! Marc was fantastic. I was so nervous doing a boudoir shoot; it is very much out of my comfort zone! I am a plus sized woman and wanted to do these for my fiance. From the second I arrived I felt comfortable and the make up artist he hired was fun and did a great job. When I got my pictures I was in shock - they were AMAZING!!! He made me look sexy and I can't wait to give these to my fiance on our wedding night! More...

My husband is very photogenic. I am not. Throughout our engagement I was really dreading seeing the wedding photos and feeling bad about myself. But I LOVED THEM! He sent a few samples shortly after the wedding that made me excited to see the rest. They look like they belong in a magazine. He got all the portraits with the wedding party/families done before the ceremony so we could just relax at the reception. He had the timing down to a science. He emails you back very quickly if you need him. A wedding photographer is a big investment but he's worth it. More...

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! More...

We visited NOLA for our anniversary and I wanted to do something special for my husband. I decided on a boudoir shoot that he could be a part of. It was his present and I thought it would be fun for him to have a choice in what I wore, poses, etc. I chose NOLA Boudoir Studio and was very surprised at the quick response I received from Marc. He answered all of my questions and was very helpful in booking a makeup artist for me. When we arrived at the shoot I was blown away at how beautiful the studio (Marc's home) was. Marc was very accommodating and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. He made my husband and I a drink and we all hung out while I had my makeup done and kind of discussed some ideas we had in mind. When it came to the shoot itself Marc was very professional and never made me feel uncomfortable in the least bit. He also made my husband feel included by asking his thoughts or trying his and my suggestions. My husband and I couldn't wait to get the pictures and to our surprise Marc emailed us the link about 5 days later. The photos were phenomenal. Marc did a fantastic job, I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! I love them and am so glad I chose NOLA Boudoir Studio, I highly recommend Marc to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

In 2013, Marc Pagani shot portraits of me for my business profile. I was a bit nervous about a camera pointing in my direction and Marc effortlessly put me at ease. I am grateful that he captured more than beautiful images; he captured my personality! This year I returned to Marc for a family portrait with same results. He was charming and engaging and managed to pull together all of our big energy. I recommend Marc's talents for any event! More...

What I loved most about Marc Pagani is that he offers his associates for $1,000 less than if he were at the event himself, and he hires some really amazing associates.

We like to say Marc is our family photographer around here because no one, and I mean no one, captures the spirit of a person the way Marc does. Marc has photographed me for my professional life, my personal life (the adoption of my son to family portraits), and my creative life (exhibits) - and each photo he has taken (read: many) has revealed a side of me that I wished I saw in the mirror every day - he makes me and my son look beautiful! This man's OCD about lenses, lighting, camera and action - he is the best, the most talented, and I dare say even a conjurer of magic with his camera. And that's just his people photography - you should check out his magnanimous action/outdoor photography. More...

Marc is a professional and outstanding photographer. We had a destination wedding and found him with good reviews over the Internet. The process of contacting him and hiring him was a very simple and he made it very pleasant for us. We chose his current hometown of New Orleans as our destination for our engagement pictures. During that session of one hour we had lots of fun and it was very well projected in our pictures! He was very responsible arriving to our wedding location a day in advance. During the wedding he was present but without disrupting the flow of the wedding. By the end of it all we had acquired a family photographer and have already committed to have him project in pictures the development of our family. I strongly recommend Marc to anyone who intends to hire a professional, personal and unique photographer for whatever your event is! More...

I contracted Marc to travel with me and photojournal a buying expedition I was on for my retail business.  Marc was nothing short of the consummate professional, he was prepared with proper equipment and he had done his background research on the mission of the trip.  Marc was always present but never intrusive as he photojournaled this buying expedition.  To say that I was pleased with the quality of the images, the timeliness of the production and the artistic eye with which he shot the images is an understatement.  In fact, I was so taken by Marc's work that I arranged for a photo gallery showing of the images he shot on this trip.  It was truly a privilege to work with a professional like Marc Pagani.  In fact, later this year I am engaging Marc to shoot my family's portrait.

Here's the two best things about Marc: he produces an artistic, superb product and yet, you don't even know he's there.Some photographers can seem intrusive and may overly stage shots, but Marc did a great job of documenting our wedding day without interrupting it. The photos weren't fabrications of a seemingly-nice wedding day; they were actual moments that really happened-and the product was beautiful. Every shot could tell a story within itself, and having 1000+ shots from a wedding...well, that's a lot of story that we can enjoy for the rest of our lives.And the price? It's downright excellent. We get non-stop compliments on our coffee table book that came included in our very reasonably priced package. People can't believe how inexpensive such a quality product was.We're very satisfied, to say the least. More...

I am so glad we chose Marc to capture the many wonderful moments of our wedding. He was perfect. His demeanor is very professional - he's quiet yet decisive, directing you through your photo shoots with his years of experience. We had him take engagement photos first, to test out the makeup/hair and get to know our personalities. Those photos were excellent, and I think he was even better able to capture our special moments are our wedding after getting to know us. The whole evening was perfect, and he caught every moment of it. From the first time we saw each other, through the ceremony and wedding party shots, through the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing - he made every moment sparkle with the magic of the evening. With his photojournalistic style, he has a knack for catching the "true" moments - the tender kisses, the sweet looks, even the eye rolls. Everyone looked their best in his photos. I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful collection of photos to remember the best day of my life. Thanks Marc! More...

He was extremely punctual, professional, and knew exactly where he needed to be. Not to mention his attention to detail and catching the moments others would fail to capture...it's a gift. Coming from New York and depending on reviews and a website isn't something I would normally do for such a precious moment in my life but we are in a world where recommendations and the Internet are such great resources and this is one PERFECT example that the Internet does work. Bless Marc and his assistant for what they do...it was a pleasure to have him capture the moments that meant everything to us. More...
