Wedding & Portrait Photography in Lake Charles
Timeless | Honest | Real
Capturing the moments that matter—with honesty, emotion, and light.
Hi, I’m Dalton Barron — a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I create powerful, honest imagery that reflects who you are in this unforgettable season of life.
Based in Lake Charles, Louisiana, I specialize in wedding photography that captures raw emotion, personal connection, and all the unforgettable moments in between.
Meet Your Lake Charles Photographer
I’m Dalton Barron, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I’ve worked with couples and families across Southwest Louisiana—from Sulphur to Moss Bluff to DeRidder—capturing honest, powerful images that preserve more than just memories.
Photography isn’t just my job—it’s how I slow time down. I believe the best photos happen in the in-between: the laugh you didn’t plan, the glance that says everything, the stillness before “I do.”
I personally edit every image with care, and I only deliver what feels real. When you book with me, you’re not getting a factory gallery—you’re getting an experience that’s thoughtful from start to finish.
Known to edit with a cold brew in one hand and Juice WRLD in my ears—because dark and moody hits harder when it’s real.

The Work That Speaks for Itself
Emotional, cinematic, and never over-edited.
I believe the best galleries feel like films—full of tension, stillness, and soul. Here are a few of my favorite frames, all captured in Lake Charles and across Southwest Louisiana.
