Client Reviews

“Mark was great to work with and was able to get unique, creative and iconic shots of my son’s wedding. An incredible experience! We actually had one of our favorite but now retiredphotographers review several photographers we looked at, and he recommended Marc hands down. We wanted black and white, candid photo journalistic shots, and he delivered big time. Very pleased. A true professional with the eyes an artist.”

“Marc did a wonderful job capturing the vibe of our destination wedding in NOLA. He was on time and went above and beyond. I highly recommend!”

“We wanted photos of our event but none of the flash lighting we've experienced at other events. Marc shot our party using the ambient light and beautifully captured all the important moments.”

“Marc was our photographer for our Halloween New Orleans wedding. He was very professional, polite, and made everyone feel very comfortable- taking the camera shyness away instantly! He captured all the special moments of our perfect day and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with his work. His photos are absolutely stunning, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Thank you Marc so much for helping to make our day so memorable!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Can we put 6 stars? I worked with Marc to shoot my proposal and have a quick post-engagement shoot immediately following. Marc was fantastic to work with and help plan - especially since I was from out of town and needed suggestions and really for him to lead the shoot after the proposal. Despite weather looking like it could put a damper on the event, Marc worked with me to find "back-up options" that were covered and waited intil about 5 minutes to confirm the exact location where I was to propose. He is friendly, flexible, and very easy to get along with. You can't do any better!”

“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. Marc was super easy to work with in coordinating the event as we did most of it online since we are from out of town. Overtime we look through our photos, it is like reliving our amazing day. Thanks Marc!”

“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.”

“If you're looking for a photogrpaher, Marc is your man! We had a wedding of 200, very high energy people that included a second line through the french quarter and he captured all the best moments. I can honesty say that we all felt comfortable and have amazing posed and candid shots as memories forever. My favorite photo, by far, was a result of Marc realizing that the lighting was amazing in the middle of our reception. He pulled us outside for a few quick shots, and they were absoute magic! Marc is an artist, not a typical wedding photographer. I HIGHLY recommend working with him. Everything start to finish is fairly priced, high quality, and he's very responsive.”

“Marc and his assistant shot my son's wedding last month. It was a pleasure working with him and the pictures he took are absolutely wonderful. He captured the emotions of the event in ways I never thought imaginable. I can't thank him enough for creating such beautiful memories for our family to treasure.”

“Marc is a wonderful photographer. He is a consummate professional and was very helpful during the booking process. Marc offers an assortment of packages and price points that can suit anyone's needs. The day of the wedding, we had a great time shooting both portrait and action shots of the day. Not to mention, the photographs are beyond beautiful! I would recommend Marc Pagani Photography for any NOLA wedding or event that you would like memorialized forever! I know we will cherish the photos and videos Marc took for the rest of our lives! Thank you, Marc!”

“Wow! I can't believe how incredibly happy I am with my wedding photos. First off, my husband and I started out with some pretty off the wall Engagement pictures. My husband is in film school so we decided to do movie themes at a warehouse that houses old movie sets, Movie Sets Venue in Slidell. He totally understood what we were going for and was able to capture everything we wanted. And the wedding pictures!!! I am not one for traditional posed pictures and I had discussed this with Marc. I wanted pictures that caught the moment and the feel of the night. He did just that. I was so pleased and am so glad in a city with so many photographers I chose Marc.”

“I made sure to do my research when in came to booking a photographer for my destination wedding in New Orleans. Marc Pagani and his associates are extremely professional! Marc was available at all hours to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had. My wedding photos turned out beautiful.”

“We just got our link to our engagement photos gallery and we couldn't be happier!! Marc helped us through all of the steps of deciding which package to go with (we ended up do a modified version of Package B, and we added a bridal portrait session and engagement session). He was very easy to get in touch with and scheduling our session was so simple. During the photo session in the French Quarter, Marc chatted with us about the rest of our wedding planning and was cracking us up for most of the afternoon. The photos he shot really captured our personalities, and my parents already want to buy a bunch of prints for the wedding in May. I HIGHLY recommend Marc due to the great price, the professionalism, and the amazing photos.”

“Loved Marc. He is great to work with. We loved our wedding pictures. We have the normal poses and then a lot of candids. I love candid photos. Can't wait to pick out my photos for the album!”

“WOW! Marc and his assistant just know when to snap that camera! Incredible how little moments are captured is such real "un-posed" ways. We had massive Oak trees in the background and the created effect made us look like we were stepping out of a painting. So real, yet artistic. This is why we chose Marc Pagani Photography and this is what we got. We also found Marc easy to work with and very friendly. He understood what we wanted to achieve in our pictures and he delivered. I also think the product - the artistry and professionalism - is great value for the dollar. I highly recommend Marc Pagani Photography and we are so happy with our choice.”

“I am very pleased with the pictures I received and the vendor is easy enough to work with as a busy bride. My photographer went above and beyond to capture what I asked for and captured otherwise fleeting moments.”

“My wedding was exactly what I envisioned in my head. Everyone on the ground made this possible. However, Marc Pagani was able to capture this magic through his pictures. He then put it into this beautiful album that reminds me every time I look through my photo book. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be reminded of every important moment from your wedding. Just beautiful!”

“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 Marc 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, Marc 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!”

“We picked Marc Pagani because of the photojournalistic style of the work on his site. The outcome was beyond our expectations. Our photographer, Rush, had an incredible eye and wasable to get some pictures in very difficult lighting conditions. We loved all the pictures from the ones taken at the church to the ones at the reception. We would recommend Marc Pagani and particularly Rush to anyone in need of a true professional.”

“Marc Pagani and his associates were very easy to work with and provided exactly what we asked for. Great experience - highly recommended.”

“Marc did a wonderful job at our wedding. We received photos within 10 days of the event and the photos turned out wonderfully. Marc and his assistant were very professional and attentive. I really enjoyed his approach to wedding photography and many of the moments he was able to capture in the photographs. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.”

“Marc and his associate Rush were both very professional in every aspect! Marc did my bridals and made me feel like a supermodel. Rush was there on the day of my wedding and was so great in every way! Rush didn't get in the way, wasn't overbearing or demanding and kept a smile on his face the whole time. I appreciated that he helped me stay relaxed throughout the day. I know it's because of him that my photos look effortless! He caught us having a good time without manufacturing with poses. He was absolutely wonderful!!!”

“Booking with Marc Pagani was a breeze! He is very responsive and returned all my emails promptly. We worked with one of his associate photographers, Pamela Reed, and she was fantastic! Truly made our wedding day very stress-free and we look relaxed and joyful in all of our photos. After the wedding, Marc was super great in coordinating preparation and delivery of our package - including our wedding album and large prints. He did an AMAZING job putting together a sleek wedding album of all of our favorite photos. When I had a problem with one of the DVDs, he mailed me a second copy the next day. I have no complaints about Marc and would recommend him.”

“Marc Pagani was an excellent wedding photographer - he was accessible leading up to the wedding for any questions we had, he was on time (even early), flexible, and captured our incredible night! We had a traditional Jewish wedding, which included a few different pre-ceremony events going on at the same time in rooms right next to each other - Marc managed to capture it all, as if he was in two places at once! I highly recommend Marc Pagani for your wedding photographer.”

“My wife and I used Marc to shoot our engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and our wedding, and the pictures came out absolutely fantastic! Our pictures was one thing that we did not want to settle on, and after researching his work, and meeting with Marc personally, we knew he was our photographer and had to reserve him before anyone else got the chance. He is a professional that has an excellent eye for catching that perfect and special shot. He pays attention to detail, and knows all about lighting and what angles work best. Marc took well over a 1,000 pictures the day of our wedding, and literally, all of them could be framed. If anyone is looking for an experienced photographer that is easy to work with and takes great photos, my wife and I would highly recommend Marc Pagani.”

“I was very happy with the quality and the shots that Marc produced. They really caught the moments as they were happening and the color quality was brilliant. Marc was not obtrusive but still managed to be firm and appropriate with guests and be right where he needed to be to get the pictures that really caught the happiness and energy of the day. I will definitely have accurate,beautiful, energetic photos to remember my wedding for years to come!”

“Marc captures the spirit of your big day like no other. We wanted a photojournalist who would catch those moments that fly by; those moments that cannot be captured with a posed photo and only taken by someone who is FULLY engaged -- those moments that remind you of that hilarious best man speech, your uncle who can really break it down on the dance floor, the hug your parents gave you right before you were going to take your vows, your best friends who helped you get into your dress... Marc's photos give you snapshots that make you laugh uncontrollably, smile widely, get overwhelmed with happiness. We booked Marc Pagani over a year before our wedding date. We did a lot of research and had several phone interviews with various vendors. The reason why we locked Marc in was because of his vast expertise, experience, flexibility, and passion for his work. One thing that sealed the deal for us was when Marc shared over the phone that he challenges himself at every wedding to get a new, creative photo -- showing that he is an artist who is always trying to perfect his art, and not simply someone who is going through the motions. Our guests said they were impressed with Marc and his assistant Andy's demeanor throughout the wedding. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We also love how cooperative they were with our wonderful cinematographer Dan Jones. Good luck in your selection, and Congrats on your engagement!”

“Marc is a true professional whose excellent skills are match with a tremedous professionalism, an ability to connect to the theme and mood of the ceremony, and place people at easeto capture the best photographs. We offer our highest recommendations. Marc is truely one of a kind; we are very lucky to have had him for our special day.”

“Marc was really great to work with on our wedding day and the pictures came out beautifully! I love the photojournalism style and how Marc captured the emotions and feeling of theday through candid shots and different angles and lighting. Marc also had our pictures online to view shortly after we returned from our honeymoon (took about 8-9 days). It is going to be so hard to narrow down all the great shots to make the album! Highly recommend Marc!”

“I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing Marc's work is! He captured every moment of my wedding perfectly. Very professional and easy going! All my guests keep raving about how fabulously my pictures turned out. The colors, angles, expressions, all of it was perfect! I will recommend him in a heartbeat! Thanks, Marc!”

“All of my pictures came out so beautiful! Lots of fun candid shots of all my guests. Loved Marc!!!!”

“Beautiful wedding pictures 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.”

“New Orleans Wedding Marc was our photographer for our Halloween New Orleans wedding. He was very professional, polite, and made everyone feel very comfortable- taking the camera shyness away instantly! He captured all the special moments of our perfect day and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with his work. His photos are absolutely stunning, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Thank you Marc so much for helping to make our day so memorable!”

“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!”

“Marc was wonderful to work with from allowing us to meet beforehand to being accommodating to our large family for after wedding shots. The pictures were amazing and my wedding album is perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more!”

“Our photos are amazing! Marc did a fantastic job of capturing our big day.”

“Very professional. Extremely pleased with the Number of photos and loved all the different Artistic shots. Great job!!”

“"The real deal", Marc Pagani has a great eye and created the perfect photo diary of our wedding which we will continue to relive throughout our years. I found Marc via his website and reading reviews that helped me make the final decision in hiring him. Needless to say, it was one of the best decisions I could have made. 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.”

“Marc Pagani is an exceptional, talented professional who meets and exceeds all expectations for a couple's capturing the moments of their special occassion. In addition to beautiful and touching work, Marc provides a sense of ease and assurance in what many couple's often find a stressful and uncertain process in finding and trusting a photographer that can connect to the spirit and setting of a couple's wedding.”

“Working with Marc was wonderful! Our pictures were breathtaking and he was fun to work with...highly recommended!”

“Marc Pagani did a wonderful job as the photographer at our wedding. His photos came out great and really captured the day. He is a photojournalist and his talent shines through in every photo he takes. He is based in New Orleans but does weddings in Chicago as well. Marc was availalble to answer all questions I had leading up to the wedding and was so patient the day of the wedding. His website is definitely worth checking out http://www.paganiphoto.com/”

“Marc shot my parade for our 50th Birthday celebration and it was fabulous! He has such an eye to capture the excitement and the moment that will stay with me forever. He was professional, prompt and marched down the streets of the French Quarter with my group and the band for the entire parade. Thank you Marc for capturing these wonderful moments!”

“Marc did an amazing job with my DJ photoshoot! I asked for a lot in an hour, I wanted to do an indoor shoot on stage, then get some fun shots outside around the neighborhood, and Marc came prepared to shoot for both indoor and outdoor environments! He was also quick in each location, I brought a friend and several outfit changes and Marc got straight to it in each spot we shot. I hadn't done a photoshoot since my high school graduation pictures and Marc did a great job directing me and giving pointers to help get the best photos. He's also just a great person to be around, so the shoot itself was fun and enjoyable. I run a live music entertainment company specializing in 2ndlines, cover bands and all things live music related and knew Marc from live events, he really is great to work alongside in all aspects and I can't recommend him enough!”

“We were so incredibly happy with Marc's work as our wedding photographer. He has an amazing artistic eye and was able to capture so many incredible candid moments throughout the wedding. He's also a clear and efficient communicator for portrait shots. He added a wonderful energy that fit in perfectly in our wedding and was always friendly and professional”

“Had a great experience with Marc! I asked for professional headshots and frankly, I've been trying to get something I actually like for the last 10 years. Finally got it! He made me feel comfortable and was up for the many outfits I brought to try. I would definitely recommend him for your headshot needs!”

“Exceptional experience with our daughter's senior pictures! We came in from Michigan. Marc immediately made my daughter feel comfortable and took her around to all of the best spots. Great communicator, very responsive to what we wanted. I seriously can't say enough great things. If you are considering Marc as your photographer, DO IT!! You will be so happy you did!”

“A+ experience getting updated headshots from Mark. Easy to schedule, comfortable experience with the photo shoot and quick turnaround on the sending me the photos.”

“Easy to communicate with and the pictures turned out great. We used Marc's pictures for our website and everything was as I had hoped.”

“Marc did an outstanding job capturing our corporate meeting in New Orleans! He set up a fantastic headshot lounge, ensuring everyone looked their best, and took incredible detail shots of the venue. His candid photos truly captured the energy and atmosphere of the event. Professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with--highly recommend Marc for any photography needs!”

“I can't say enough great things about the professionalism and quality of work. I chose Marc for my NOLA wedding with second line from his online portfolio and he delivered. On the day, if I'd been in my right mind I would have pointed out the specific parents and asked for a single group shot at Pat'O Brian's. That said, I had a near perfect day that was stress free and so much fun. In part to Marc's vigilance and assistance (plus none of pics I didn't think to ask for would be wall hanging so it's no real loss).   Also my niece who is a photog like myself commented on the quality of the day and night work Marc produced.  I told her that's why I chose him and he delivered.   Also the portrait of my husband is the best he's gotten done. Thanks for making him look like him.   I can't say enough great things about Marc's work and the photos.  I highly recommend.”

“I worked with Marc for photography for my website as I was launching my new business as an executive coach and consultant: MTS Coaching & Consulting. I flew Marc in from New Orleans to Marin County, California for a week of shooting on Stinson Beach, Mt. Tamalpais and in Napa. Marc was not only easy and fun to work with, he exceeded my expectations in terms of capturing the essence of my character which is the face of my business. My website is now live (mtscoaching.com) and I've gotten numerous compliments. I can't recommend him enough.”

“Marc and his assistant were fantastic! Marc's professional headshot photos were a huge hit with our attendees at a recent medical conference. The photos were clear and crisp and professionally done. Plus, his assistant emailed them back to all our attendees within 2-3 minutes. Incredible service and I would hire them again in a second. Great job guys! :-)”

“We are from out of town, and planned a vacation to New Orleans/Mexico (cruise vacation). My daughter is in love with the French Quarters, and wanted her senior pictures taken there. I took a leap of faith (after spending hours on Yelp reading reviews), and decided that Marc Pagani Photography was the obvious photographer to use! He was so nice, had a creative eye for beautiful photography, and had our pictures ready super fast! Being from out of town, so much could have went wrong. I'm pleased to say that he made sure that everything was super smooth! zero complaints here! 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Marc did an amazing job with our wedding photos. Prompt and professional and an amazing photographer. We got the photos back quickly and we were absolutely delighted by the quality. Marc knows what he is doing and would hire again.”

“Working with Marc was a treat! I was introduced to Marc via my friend, Bella Blue, and found that our photoshoot at the very beginning on Covid-19 in New Orleans was a huge treat. We went out to document the very empty streets on St. Patrick's Day, make some art, play with light and color, and soothe our souls a bit with creation. Marc was SUPER professional, always asking us to define our boundaries & quickly but patiently getting some really complicated shots. I can't recommend him enough! You should DEFINITELY Work with Marc!”

“Marc was fantastic in every way. We originally saw his work through social media soon after COVID-19 social distancing began and jumped at the opportunity of having photos taken when our city was sadly free of tourists and full of empty streets. Marc was offering a discount because of the difficult times and also showing his support of local service industry folks out of work by donating part of his proceeds. We met him in the French Quarter and he did a fabulous job capturing our three teen's unique personalities through his pictures. He was professional in every aspect; taking time to get to know them each a bit and making them feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. I was also impressed with his keen ability to practice social distancing while remaining personable and professional. We spent about an hour with him and less than a week later I received digital copies of everything. We were all very happy with the results and we are excited to have these memories taken during this unique time in the city we love and call home. I have since recommended his service to others and will continue to do so. Don't hesitate to contact Marc to schedule his services for your special day.”

“I hired Marc for a photo shoot for my 30th Birthday celebration in NOLA. He was very professional, showed up right on time, made me and my girls all feel very comfortable and took some amazing photos that I will forever cherish! Definitely recommend him if you're looking for a cool cat who will make you comfortable getting your finest shot and delivering a quality final product.”

“My wife and I thought it would be fun to have some post-wedding portraits made during our honeymoon in Nawlins. We didn't know the photography scene in the city, but we happened to find Marc. He was great to work with, and we enjoyed our session with him. We used his studio to stage a number of different scenes. All of the photos turned out great, and we even have one hanging on our wall now. Would definitely recommend working with Marc.”

“I use Marc for family photos, events and shoots for my brand. He is always professional, cares about the final product and experience of those he works with as a photographer. Can't recommend any more highly.”

“Wow. Marc truly has an amazing eye for capturing the moment. His presence was not intrusive, yet he caught the very intimate moments of our engagement. He is a pleasure to work with, very professional and responds to emails promptly. Without hesitation we would definitely hire him again.”

“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!”

“Top shelf photographer; top shelf person. We hired Marc to shoot photos for a kids organic clothing line we were producing and were so pleased with his work that we ended up hiring him again for both personal, and international charity, work. One cursory look at his portfolio and you'll see that his work is outstanding. But when you look closer, really study his art, you'll see that Marc has a uniquely keen and clever eye. He is acutely aware of the subject and its place in its surroundings. The result: really special work. His creativity is boundless, surpassed only by his humanity. We can't wait to work with him again.”

“Marc shot the photos for my recent CD "Simpatico" and he was AWESOME to work with. He has an amazing eye and is truly an artist. It was a very comfortable and rewarding experience. I plan tu use Marc for my future projects. Tearle Ashby”

“Marc is an awesome photographer. He truly captures the spirit of people and the essence of events. I hired Marc to document the most important day of my life, my wedding day. The photos were candid and artistic. I highly recommend this detailed photographer!”

“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.”

“We used Marc for a big event last year. He was flexible, professional and, best of all, we have great pictures. Will definitely use Marc again soon.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Marc recently shot my engagement and wedding photos. Marc was very accomodating to our schedules and promptly returned all of my emails. As I look through my wedding photos over and over I love them more and more!!! Marc really captured the day as it happened. My mother who was skeptical at first but she LOVES the pictures as well. Marc will definatly be on my list to hire again for photography.”

“I can't say enough great things about Marc Pagani Photography! He made me feel like a diva....even though his prices are super competitive! The experience was professional and fun. I think the best part was seeing the variety of finishes and the quality of his work. He really is capable of capturing the best in you! I can't wait for my next session. Thanks Marc!”

“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.”

“Marc is a great photographer. Not only is he professional, he is super patient and has a great artistic vision. He's very open to discuss anything you might need and is open to working with you to make sure that you have a satisfying experience. I highly recommend him for any photography need that you may have.”

“He was an amazing photographer and captured the moment of my engagement seamlessly, I will def reccomend him to others.”

“Marc was pleasant and accommodating, precise, and efficient. The pictures were excellent. I’d be happy to return, and recommend him to anyone who needs pictures done.”

“Marc was easy and fantastic to work with. He delivered what we expected and more, strongly recommend him.”

“Amazing work, super friendly. Marc put me at ease immediately, as I often feel uncomfortable being photographed, with some nice bossanova on the stereo. The shoot was easy and Marc knew how to get exactly what I couldn't articulate. His work speaks for itself, just look at it!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Marc’s professionalism and quality of work. I chose Marc from the quality of his online portfolio and he delivered. On the day, if I’d been in my right mind I would have pointed out the specific parents and asked for a single group shot at Pat’O Brian’s. That said, I had a near perfect day that was stress free and so much fun. In part to Marc’s vigilance and assistance (plus he did capture every who attended beautifully and none of pics I didn’t think to ask for would be wall hanging so it’s no real loss). Also my niece who is a photog like myself commented on the quality of the day and night work you produced.  I told her that’s why I chose you and you delivered. AND the portrait of my husband is the best he’s had done. Thanks for making him look like him. I can’t say enough great things about your work, your patience, your professionalism, and the quality of the photos.  I highly recommend Marc Pagani Photography for any event.”

“Talented, expert photography. Marc has shot my wedding party, head shots and family portraits over the years and is always up for creative environments. Check out Marc’s beautiful adventure photography too!”

“Marc does fantastic work. He is an absolutely consummate gentleman and goes far out of his way to make his subjects feel perfectly at ease. There is no finer person in whom to place your trust for photography of any sort. If you’re still searching then look no further; the best is Marc Pagani.”

“Booked several sessions with Marc. Timely, professional, great price and more importantly amazing pics! Even managed to get some lesssons from his as well! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Marc did my wedding photos in 2017 and we were so happy with the results. Highly recommend!”

“Used Marc on several occasions. My favorite, by far, was when he took my bridal photos. Very professional, great artistic eye, excellent communication, and overall just a nice guy! Will do business with again!”

“The best of the best. Marc has an incredible eye and is super fun to work with. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Marc photographed my wedding and I am still so pleased with the entire experience. He was so professional and did such an amazing job. I didn’t even realize he was taking photos the majority of the wedding and reception but he captured everything perfectly. I highly recommend hiring him for your next event. You will not regret it.”

“My fiancé hired Marc to photograph and record our proposal. He delivered some really awesome photos the SAME DAY! And sent us the video the next day! The photos and video are 100 quality and working with Marc was great. I recommend Marc Pagani if you are looking for some really awesome pictures and videos of a special occasion in your life in NOLA! If I could give 10 stars, I would! 10/5 recommended!!!”

“Marc has been great! Can't wait for him to shoot the wedding.”

“Marc personally got in touch with me after a yelp request. This was an impromptu and sentimental session. Thank you Marc and Ryan. The picture here is mine not professional.”

“I hired Marc for my daughter's senior portraits during the pandemic and a very sad senior year for so many young people. Marc was the perfect fit for us. He was professional but fun, and my daughter loved working with him. Marc was masked, 6 feet from us at all times, and very respectful of the current situation with Covid 19. He took her portraits in the empty French Quarter and the outcome was much more than we could have even hoped for. Marc, you have an amazing talent. Thank you for making the end of Ella's senior year so very special. Absolutely a 5 star day!”

“I purchased a print from Marc for my wall. I was blown away when the print showed up because it was even more beautiful than the picture I saw of it on the Internet. Marc has a amazing eye for getting photos of some of the most beautiful and amazing places on Earth. If you are looking for some artwork, I can't recommend his work enough.”

“I've had several headshots and event photos taken by Marc and all were perfect. He puts the client at ease with his demeanor. Highly recommended- very experienced and professional. Do not miss for your wedding or engagement- he and I have worked together for both and he makes my wedding clients look exactly the way they want to. He has retouched photos that were jacked up by less experienced and unprofessional photographers that were cheaper. Go with the pro with over 20 years of experience and thousands of happy clients.”

“Marc was not only willing to make time for us during Thanksgiving weekend, but spent over an hour walking through the French Quarter with us taking spectacular photos. Marc made us feel at ease and helped us to relax during the photo shoot. We cannot to share our photos with our family for the holidays.”

“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!”

“There is a reason Marc has a 5 star rating. He is always professional, cares about the final product and experience of those he works with as a photographer. Can't recommend any more highly.”

“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!”

“"The photos look amazing, and we are very happy with how everything turned out!" (unsolicited email from corporate client after receiving link to images shot at Johnson & Johnson Associate Director's Summit)”

“I absolutely love how my headshots turned out!”

“Marc was easy to reach, helpful, and flexible when it came to getting my engagement photo shoot. He helped make it a wonderful night for me and my future bride. He also got our pictures back to us within 24 hours. I would recommend him for anyone else looking to get professional photos done in New Orleans.”

“I went to Marc for my professional, corporate headshots, and because he was willing to do a studio session rather than only outdoor sessions. I am very pleased with the photos that were produced, and Marc was polite and professional throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with him and will do so again in the future, as the need arises.”

“Great work!”

“Hi Marc! Thanks for sending these photos. They turned out great and you were a delight to work with! Best, Andy”
