Our Process
-
After your initial inquiry, we'll schedule a discovery conversation that leads us to clear expectations as to what is most important to you when it comes to your wedding photography, and how Mike Lirette and his team can deliver.
-
We'll share a custom proposal based on the items discussed in our initial conversation. You're able to then make decisions on any additional options based on your specific needs - No generic photo packages here. Mike Lirette Photo's process is entirely online and mobile friendly.
-
Leading up to your wedding weekend, we'll communicate with your wedding coordinator on any details, and share thoughtful, intentional questionnaires with you to assist in building efficient and organized photo lists, so when that portion of the day comes, we're able to move through them quickly to get you and your fiancé on to being a guest at your own wedding.

I would describe my wedding photography style as a mix of Photojournalism, Landscape, with some bits of Editorial, and Lifestyle. Throughout much of the day I’m observing and anticipating the moments, then once we get to portraits, I'll direct rather than the typical rigid posing.
Fun-fact - check out the New Orleans season of the show, “Married at First Sight” on Netflix to see some behind the scenes of my working style! -
Timeless, Clean, Film-like. When photographing, and then editing, I always aim to deliver images that are true to the day, time, location, and general ambiance.

I do! Depending on availability and the number of hours you have set aside for photography, I have special rates for weekday weddings and elopements.
I should note that we do reserve Saturdays from March - May and October - November for events needing a minimum of 6 hours of photo coverage.
