CAPTURING YOUR DAY

in a documentary
and editorial style.

I have always had an observer’s nature. I take the time to look, to feel, to understand what unfolds around me. That is how I learned to capture true moments, with precision and discretion, never forced.

I travel across Paris, France, and sometimes the world to be by your side on your wedding day. What I love most is capturing the precious moments of your life. A wedding is a singular adventure, rich with intense emotion, all unfolding in a single day.

Flowers will fade, dinner will become a memory, the glasses will have chimed, the dress will carry the traces of the celebration. What remains is essential: the memories, and the photographs.

In a few words

Wedding photographer in Paris since 2014, with around a hundred weddings photographed across France and abroad. Editorial reportage, a discreet presence, delivery within eight weeks. Available in French and English. Around ten weddings each year, with a few dates still open for 2026.

Wedding venues in Paris and the Paris region

A geography of Parisian settings.

A wedding venue is never a neutral backdrop. Its light, its volumes, its own particular sounds enter the photograph as much as the faces do. Here are a few of the settings where I have had the joy of working, in Paris and nearby, and which often come up in conversation with the couples I accompany.

Le Ritz, Le Crillon, Le Meurice

Place Vendôme, Place de la Concorde, rue de Rivoli. Three Parisian palaces where gilded walls and marble call for absolute discretion, and where the light of the golden salons at dusk is a gift to those who know how to wait for it.

Pavillon Dauphine, Pavillon Royal

At either end of the Bois de Boulogne. Glass canopies, terraces, wooded gardens. Venues made for celebration, moving in a few hours from an outdoor ceremony beneath the trees to dinner beneath the chandeliers.

Maison de l'Amérique Latine

Boulevard Saint-Germain. An 18th-century mansion with a hidden garden in the heart of the 7th arrondissement. One of the most discreet settings in Paris, perfect for weddings that blend classical elegance with intimacy.

Hôtel Particulier Montmartre

A secret address off avenue Junot, a pre-war garden, salons with restrained baroque decor. For weddings that embrace a freer, more daring Parisian spirit.

Domaine de Quincampoix

In the Yvelines, forty minutes from Paris. A traditional longère, a paved courtyard, apple trees, a pond. The perfect counterpoint to Parisian intensity, for couples who want to take the day at its own pace.

Ferme d'Armenon

In the Essonne. An 18th-century estate, restored barns, fields opening to the horizon. A countryside light you would not expect so close to Paris.

Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay

In the Yvelines. Cistercian ruins, a romantic park, a restored chapel. For religious weddings that call for the meditative dimension few venues still offer.

Parisian city halls

From the 7th arrondissement to Saint-Mandé, from the 16th to Boulogne. Each ceremony hall has its own light, its framing constraints, its moments of grace. Knowing them in advance changes everything.

And everywhere else in France

Beyond the Paris region, I photograph weddings throughout France, and sometimes farther afield. Burgundy, Champagne, Brittany, the Camargue, Italy, Mauritius. Travel is part of the craft.

Our first meeting

The thread of a conversation, from the first word to the last drink in Paris.

It all begins with a first word, a message or a call, where we talk about the date you have in mind, the venue you picture, and the spirit you imagine for the day. A few minutes are enough to sense whether our sensibilities align.

Then comes a real conversation, over video or around a coffee in Paris, that lasts as long as it needs to. We talk about your story, your family, the venue where you are getting married, the moments that matter to you, and the ones you do not yet realize will.

If we decide to walk this path together, I send you a personal written proposal, designed for your wedding and your chosen venue. Not a standard document, but a tailored proposal I write after our conversation.

Once the date is set, the contract signed and the deposit paid, we stay in touch. Venue scouting when possible, guidance on light and timing, conversations about the flow of the day. My role is to prepare the day so that I can disappear into it.

On the day itself, I move to the couple’s rhythm, with discretion and sensitivity. From the getting ready to the final toast, I document without interrupting, capturing each moment with truth and feeling.

Within eight weeks, I deliver an online gallery and a bespoke box with fine art prints. The trace takes form. The day comes back to you, enriched with everything you could not see for yourself.

Frequently asked questions

What couples planning a wedding in Paris ask me most.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in Paris? +

My rates are detailed on a dedicated page. They correspond to a full day of presence and include the online gallery, the personalized box, and the fine art prints. Travel within the Paris region is included; destination weddings are quoted on request.

How many hours of coverage on the wedding day? +

A full day of coverage typically spans ten to fourteen hours, from the getting ready through the heart of the evening. The duration adapts to the flow of your day, not the other way around.

How many photos are delivered, and how soon? +

Depending on the length of coverage, you receive between five hundred and eight hundred photographs, curated and processed in color, and sometimes in black and white, harmonized into a coherent whole. Delivery takes place within eight weeks through a private online gallery.

Do you cover all types of ceremonies? +

Yes. My coverage spans every kind of ceremony: civil, religious (Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto), secular, intimate, or elopements. Each union has its own singularity, and I devote myself to telling its particular story.

What happens if the unexpected arises (rain, delays, a change of venue)? +

Adaptation is part of the craft. Rain changes the light but never compromises the day. A delay can be made up. A new venue can always be scouted again. I work with redundant professional equipment that secures every image, and I always keep time in reserve.

Do you work in the Paris region, across France, or abroad? +

Based in Paris, I photograph weddings throughout the Paris region and across France: Burgundy, Champagne, Brittany, the Camargue, the French Riviera. Abroad as well, in Italy, Mauritius, or elsewhere depending on your plans. Travel is quoted on request.

Do you work in both French and English? +

Yes. I work with French-speaking couples as well as international couples getting married in Paris. The website, our exchanges, and the proposals are all available in French and English.
