Wow, Panama City Beach, Florida provides a gorgeous backdrop for a fun destination engagement photo session! Hunter, a Marine who trains other Marines to scuba dive, is now living there so we did his engagement session with his gorgeous fiance’ Kaitlyn. They will be married in Denham Springs on Nov. 13, 2010.
Enjoy the connection between these two lovers as well as the landscape. Their energy and enthusiasm for the engagement session pushed me to be creative.

Aaron Hogan — Wed, 12 May 2010 03:22:06 +0000

I baptize thee among the wheat.

Here’s a fun little sneak peek of Amy and Brian’s engagement session we did on Angola Prison property April 25, 2010. This sequence was from a wheat field near the old death row building. I don’t normally upload cheesy things like this (animated gifs…so 1990s!!!) but whatever. This couple was super fun and this shows it.

Enjoy the photo slideshow highlighting some of the parks, beaches, and strong bond between this super laid back couple. Oh, and let’s not forget the epic Getty Museum in Los Angeles!

Galveston, TX Engagement Photography | Herb & Heather 3.7.10

Aaron Hogan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:09:53 +0000

Herb and Heather, an engaged couple who having a New Orleans wedding April 9, 2010 in the French Quarter at the New Orleans Ritz Carlton, share a love of both Louisiana and Texas, having homes in both Hammond, LA and Galveston, TX. During the planning of their engagement session, Herb, an avid pilot and owner of a super fast Mooney Ovation 2 single engine prop plane, offered to fly my assistant and I to his Galveston home for the engagement photos. How exciting!

Galveston and New Orleans have very much in common, such as The Strand of Galveston. It’s so similar in architecture to New Orleans’ French Quarter. The art galleries, ice cream parlors, wrought iron gates and railings, the bold colors of the walls, peeling paint, etc. Talk about a photographer’s field day. Enjoy the photos and feel free to leave feedback on the slideshow.

Engagement photography in South Louisiana | Chrissy & Dan 3.17.10

Aaron Hogan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 06:15:02 +0000

This engagement session began in a bar in Breaux Bridge’s Landry’s Seafood. We didn’t take photos inside the bar, but the couple, Dan and Chrissy, needed a little encouragement prior to the beginning of their session. They had a couple drinks just to loosen them up.

This helps with couples who tense up easily in front of the camera, yet want to remain themselves during their engagement session. We did the session between Breaux Bridge and Arnaudville, Louisiana, not too far from Lafayette, LA. We found a really massive oak tree with the most amazing exposed root system along the way. Then we headed towards the historic district of quaint Breaux Bridge, wrapping up the session in front of the town’s renowned landmark, the Pont Breaux (the bridge after which the town is named which also seems to be the hype of the town).

Chrissy and Dan will be married at Nottoway Plantation on August 7, 2010.

New Orleans engagement photography | McKenna & Chris 12.28.09

Aaron Hogan — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:00:45 +0000

McKenna and Chris were such fun to photograph. They’re not only very attactive, but they were game for one of my full afternoon-extending-throug-evening New Orleans engagement sessions. Chris warned me his smile wasn’t natural in front of the camera, but I beg to differ. At least in front of MY camera. Must be the Nikon glass I used.

The session began uptown New Orleans in Audubon Park and then we finished in the French Quarter in the freezing cold temperatures. I applaud McKenna and Chris for braving the cold. But alas, the photos are ready and I feel pretty darn good about the turnout. It was worth the cold, wasn’t it guys? I am really looking forward to your Annadele’s Plantation (Covington, LA) wedding in April. Enjoy!

Destrehan Plantation Wedding Photography | Adriene & Mark 10.10.09

Aaron Hogan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:37:47 +0000

Adriene & Mark are one of those special couples that come into my life only once in a while who bring peace to me as a photographer. They are truly in love as was evident during their Baton Rouge engagement session at a local park in Goodwood. On October 10, 2009, their wedding day, it rained most of the day until the late afternoon. I was able to do some bridal portraits before the ceremony of Adriene at Destrehan Plantation in Destrehan, LA, close to New Orleans. Adriene did not want Mark to see her prior to the ceremony in her beautiful wedding dress so we did the session with just her in the historic Destrehan home which was built in 1787. We got special permission to shoot inside the home.

Hemingbough wedding photography | Sydney & Michael sneak peek

Aaron Hogan — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:56:05 +0000

When I first met Sydney & Michael I knew they were going to be an easy couple to work with because they both appreciate my artistic & documentary style of wedding photography. Their true fun and whimsical personalities came out during our day trip to New Orleans for their French Quarter engagement photography session. Then I convinced Sydney that doing the first look was the best way to do her pre-ceremony photos so that not only could we capture them in their most fresh moments but also help them take the edge off of everything and look each other in the eye, having a moment to share their feelings with each other. Sydney later told me that she remembers nothing from her wedding day except those few moments she spent with Michael during the first look. That made me smile!

All the flowers were artistically designed by Lani Guilbeau of Fleur Du Jour, one of best Baton Rouge florists around.

Lani of Fleur Du Jour did such an amazing job on the flowers – so unique yet beautiful and very fitting with Sydney’s style. Way to go Lani!

First look…I love Michael’s anticipation!

Sydney had to wipe tears from Michael’s eyes!

Hemingbough’s amphitheater provides an amazing backdrop for weddings with its serenity and greenery.

Those are happy tears for a super happy night! That’s a daddy’s girl. Congratulations Sydney & Michael.

Engagement Photography | Baton Rouge | River Road | Shelley & Don

Aaron Hogan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:29:42 +0000

Shelley and Don share a love not only for each other but also for cycling, the outdoors, cows and their King Charles Cavalier- Noonie. With this in mind I knew the perfect location to shoot their engagement photography session: their backyard along with Noonie and random spots along River Road in Baton Rouge, LA. River Road has both beautiful open fields with hay and great cycling grounds. The locations worked out great and their enthusiasm was even better. Thanks Shelley and Don for allowing me to be your photographer! I am really looking forward to your destination wedding at Rosemary Beach, FL in March 2010.

Don is a kid in a candy shop with his enthusiasm for photography

The special guest of the shoot: Noonie! Shelley and Don's sweet King Charles Cavalier.

Dang- Look at that BLING! Way to go, Shelley!

Ahh the great outdoors!

I think I remember them telling me they both really hate their feet. Oh well.

Check out the merchandise!

Intimidating each other before the race. My money is on Shelley!

A beautiful end to a beautiful shoot. Thanks Shelley and Don, it was a blast!
