Baton Rouge, LA Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Hill-country vistas, ranch venues, and receptions that go late — Baton Rouge does weddings at full volume.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Baton Rouge

From ranch ceremonies to rooftop city receptions, Baton Rouge weddings blend scale with warmth. We plan around big families, bigger sunsets, and dance floors that deserve coverage until the last song.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Baton Rouge surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Baton Rouge

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Baton Rouge than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:07 PM and golden hour opens around 7:32 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:33 PM — a swing of 1 hour 34 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Baton Rouge ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Questions couples in Baton Rouge ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Baton Rouge, LA?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Baton Rouge wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Baton Rouge as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Baton Rouge before?

Not every venue in Baton Rouge, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Photography

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
