Hey everyone

We wanted to personally introduce ourselves to you, we are Darren and Shamakia Williams, owners of DSW Photography. We are a New Orleans-based, luxury international wedding photography team specializing in fine art, clean, editorial photography. After leaving a career in law and education respectively, we found a profound passion for photographing amazing couples and their weddings a few years ago and have pursued nothing else since. We genuinely love what we do and the incredible couples, vendors, and publications that we are fortunate enough to serve alongside.

We have been married since April 2010 and have four beautiful children together. We consider ourselves a close-knit family; our daughters Ayana, Amya, Aaliyah, and Lauryn are full of personalities. Our home shares daily laughs, jokes, lessons, and most of all love. Our lives are truly a blessing with our children a part of it.
