PERSONAL:

I am a husband to an amazing wife and mother, Dr. Jodi LaMothe, Ed.D. We have two beautiful daughters, Jolie & Bailey, who seem to always keep us on our toes, along with our German Shepherd duo, Simba & Nala. You’ll probably see them from time to time on our social media and they tend to get the most “likes” & attention.

I’m big on family, so when I’m not photographing weddings or lifestyle sessions, I’m spending time with my girls and crossing off items on my never-ending “honey-do” list. Some of my favorite things in life are God first, my family, photography of course, architecture, everything New Orleans, all kinds of foods, technology & gadgets, riding my trike, cracking jokes, playing the drums, good music, CDM coffee and Crown Royal (but not together)… but most importantly making lasting memories.

My Reasons…

What can I say about my amazing, smart, beautiful ladies? Other than they are my world and my reason. And if that wasn’t enough, we also have (what was suppose to be only one) two headstrong German Shepherds & now a rabbit… and NO they do not socialize!
Please pray of us! (circa 2024)

When I have the time, I LOVE creating personal projects…

As you can tell I love having fun and being creative at the same time… And, I’m also a supporter of fellow small businesses too, so if that’s you let’s connect. I’ve been an active member of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce for years. I’ve since joined their Board as the New Orleans Chamber Ambassador Chairman & their Chairman’s Council, so I’m honored & excited to be a part of such a great organization.

There’s so much more I can ramble on about, but I’ll leave it at this for now… But, in the meantime I’d love to connect with y’all so feel free to reach out to me and if you see me around don’t hesitate to give me a shout out!

“ . . . Anthony was more than professional, he went far beyond the call of professionalism. He is funny, warm and just hands down a gifted photographer. We were so fortunate and favored to have him capture our milestone. Every picture evokes a mood or memory. We’re so happy with what we’ve seen that we’ve asked him to just take the reigns on our album and surprise us. He is an artist and we can’t recommend him and Capture Studio enough.”

“ We hired Anthony based on a family member’s recommendation. He took the time to instruct us on poses at our wedding venue and then scouted out some amazing locations around the French Quarter. We had a blast and the photos turned out better than we could ever have imagined. If you're planning a wedding or event, or just need some perfect photos with that oh so special touch, don't hesitate to use Anthony! You won't regret it! ”

“ Anthony was my photographer for my bridal, wedding and my maternity photos. Each session he exuded professionalism! After the wedding, family and friends made sure to compliment my photographer and knew he had gotten great shots before seeing them. Also, I received a preview of my pictures within a week. Once I received the photos, I noticed my entire day was captured perfectly. CaptureStudio will remain my first choice for my future photography and recommendations to others. Thank you Anthony for providing excellent service! “

“ . . . My husband surprised me with the proposal at a music venue in NOLA. I didn't even notice that he was taking our photos before the proposal and while my husband and I were dancing moments before he got down on one knee. After the proposal, Anthony patiently took our photos at several locations across the city. He perfectly captured the proposal, my sincere shock, and the love my husband and I have for each other. He's also very nice and easy to work with. Highly recommend Anthony for any occasion!
