Elopements

Your wedding day is about your love, your story, and your connection – and sometimes, the most meaningful way to celebrate that is by eloping. Whether you’re drawn to the rich history of the French Quarter, the vibrant energy of the Garden District, or the moss-draped oaks of City Park, New Orleans offers endless opportunities for a unique and unforgettable experience. At Mable Jean Photography, we specialize in capturing the intimacy and beauty of New Orleans elopements. If you envision a quiet ceremony in a hidden courtyard or a bold celebration on the streets with a Second Line parade, connect with us to preserve every moment of your love story.
