Elegant calligraphy text reading 'About Crystal' in flowing black script.

Hi, I’m Crystal. I’m a South Louisiana native who has pretty much always had a camera in hand. My photography journey actually started way back in high school.


Funny enough, I originally thought I wanted to be a dental hygienist. I gave it a shot, but after my first year of college, I quickly realized I was not where I was meant to be. My dad encouraged me to take some classes I would enjoy, so I signed up for a few art courses. That was the moment everything shifted, and honestly, the rest is history.


I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Art with a concentration in photography from Nicholls State University. In 2007, I officially launched Crystal Sanderson Photography. Since then, I have photographed more than 400 weddings, and I still get excited before every single one.


More than anything, I truly love what I do. I care deeply about people, their stories, and creating something meaningful that will last for generations.


Along the way, I also married my high school sweetheart. Together, we’re raising two incredible kids who bring us so much joy.


When I am not behind the camera, you will find me spending time with my family, cheering on our kids at cross country and track meets, or relaxing at home with our Goldendoodle. I also enjoy browsing antique shops, trying new restaurants, reading a good book, and sipping on a cold glass of lemonade. It is always lemonade for me.


If we have the chance to work together, I want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that your memories are in good hands.

"Mrs. Crystal is amazing! She is incredibly talented and made our day so easy. She did our engagement photos, pre-bridals, and wedding photography. From start to finish, she made wedding planning simple. My husband is not a fan of taking pictures, but she made him feel comfortable and at ease, and he actually had fun! We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. We highly recommend Mrs. Crystal for her talent and dedication. She is the complete package!"
