Lana Del Rey and her husband are trying to enjoy newlywed life together in the days following their wedding down the Louisiana bayou.
But the famous singer, who tied the knot swamp with tour guide Jeremy Dufrene last week in Des Allemands, called out paparazzi photographers that she claims are tracking them everywhere they go in the state.
New video posted on Instagram shows Del Rey, 39, and Dufrene, 49, with to-go boxes outside of a Louisiana restaurant. They laughed and chatted with staff for a bit before sitting together on the dock outside.
Del Rey was seen checking her phone and giggling, at one point resting her head on Dufrene’s shoulder.
The person recording the video was apparently set up a far away, and it doesn’t appear the couple knew they were being watched or taped. At one point, the person recording can be heard breathing heavily and grunting as the couple converses on the dock.
Del Rey saw the video posted to the lanaboards.ig account and responded Wednesday, saying she and Dufrene feel unsafe being followed by people and their cameras and drones. She said one paparazzi even edited her wedding ring to look like a pearl.
Del Rey said one New Orleans-based paparazzi has resorted switching vehicles to track her family, and that if they would “stop following us around remote parts of the country … I know we would feel a lot safer.”

The two have been regularly photographed together this year since Del Rey began spending more time with Dufrene in the bayous of southeastern Louisiana.
TMZ was even provided photos of the duo riding out Francine at Dufrene’s home that was, at one point, surrounded by water.
Del Rey also accused an unnamed Houma couple of invading their privacy, even behind closed doors.
She said the duo “won’t stop flying drones into our window every morning.”
Del Rey and Dufrene first met in 2019 when she went to Airboat Tours by Arthur Matherne and took one of Dufrene’s boat tours. They married on Sept. 26 near the spot where they first met.
Del Rey, born Elizabeth Grant, was walked down the aisle by her father.
Months before the wedding, Del Rey was making frequent visits to Louisiana. In May, the singer shared a video of her driving down the Twin Span Bridge in the New Orleans metro area, then dancing on a boat in swamp waters.
Del Rey was back in New Orleans in June. During the trip, she paid a visit to Tic-Toc Café, a hole-in-the-wall diner in the outskirts of the city. She posed in front of shotgun homes in New Orleans neighborhoods, and snapped a grainy, nighttime photograph of moss hanging from an oak tree.
