Frequently Asked Questions, Wedding
-
I'm based between Lyon and Paris. I work with couples across France and internationally, particularly for destination weddings. Whether it takes place by the sea, in a château, or abroad, every wedding is approached with the same standard: telling your story with precision, sensitivity, and passion.
-
I capture weddings across a range of aesthetics, from spontaneous, authentic storytelling to fashion forward, editorial styling, directly inspired by fashion photography.
Every project begins with a conversation, usually over video call, where I take the time to listen, understand your expectations, your sensibility, and how you picture your memories.
This careful dialogue then allows me to create refined, bespoke coverage, where every image becomes a timeless moment, revealing emotion, detail, and atmosphere with elegance and precision, all while staying true to your story. -
I work in both digital and film, blending modern precision with timeless quality. Digital allows me to capture every moment with precision, responsiveness, and control over light, whatever the conditions.
Film, meanwhile, brings an organic grain, depth, and a timeless quality to the images. By combining the two, I create refined, modern coverage, where every moment carries elegance and emotion through the years.
-
Yes, I offer pre-wedding sessions to help you get comfortable in front of the camera, build a connection, and enjoy meaningful moments together.
Whether it's an engagement session, to tell your story and get comfortable in front of my lens, a couple's session, capturing your connection in a natural setting, or a bridal session, showcasing your outfits and the magic of this milestone, each of these experiences is a chance to prepare for the big day with confidence and elegance. -
Booking begins with you reaching out. I'll get back to you the same day and set up a video call, so we can take the time to talk, understand your expectations and your vision for the wedding, and start building a connection.
After our conversation, I'll send you a follow up email with my pricing brochure, so you have everything you need to think it over at your own pace. From there, the choice is entirely yours, whether you'd like my eye to be part of your wedding day.
For a smooth, stress free experience, I recommend booking your photographer 12 to 24 months in advance, especially for the most popular dates during the summer season.
-
To book your service, I send you a contract by email, which you simply need to sign and return to confirm your booking.
A 30% deposit is then required to officially secure your wedding date on my calendar and ensure a smooth, bespoke experience.
-
I focus on real moments. During time set aside for the two of you, I guide gently and subtly, offering my best tips and advice so every image turns out beautifully.
My goal is to create couple photos that are natural, elegant, and genuine, staying true to your relationship and your emotions, while making the session enjoyable, easy, and memorable. -
I always stay flexible and prepared. Rain, a delay, or a change of plans never affects my approach.
I take the time to guide you and adapt with you, so that any unexpected moment becomes a chance to create authentic, elegant images, without stress and with peace of mind. -
For your wedding photography to run smoothly and truly reflect your story, a few things are worth preparing in advance.
I recommend preparing a list of group photos and designating a trusted person to help gather guests for each shot, to avoid disrupting the cocktail hour or the flow of the day.
It's also important to plan realistic transition times in the wedding timeline, so the couple's photos can happen at a strategic moment, while guests are occupied, keeping that pause calm, intimate, and elegant for you.
Finally, I encourage you to share any moodboards or inspiration, so I can fully understand the style and atmosphere of the images you love, and translate them faithfully into your wedding story. -
I adapt to the pace of your day. Working from the timeline and schedule you share with me beforehand, I can anticipate each moment and be in the right place at the right time.
This preparation allows me to respect your pace and capture every detail and emotion with fluidity, spontaneity, and elegance. -
Yes, I speak English
My conversational level lets me communicate with the couple and their guests throughout the day, ensuring smooth, natural coverage with no language barriers. -
Depending on the package chosen and the location of your wedding, travel fees may apply. These may include mileage, transportation, or accommodation costs when necessary.
I always share this information upfront and with full transparency, so you know exactly what your package includes.
-
The number of delivered photos depends on the package you choose.
Your private online gallery is made available to you quickly, usually within a month, so you can relive and share your memories without delay. -
Image rights are an important point I address right from the start.
I simply ask whether you're comfortable with some images from your wedding being used on my social media or communication materials.
There's no wrong answer, your choice is fully respected. What matters most is having a clear answer, so we can protect the confidentiality, privacy, and sensitivity of your memories. -
The selection of final photos is above all based on the trust you place in me.
After the wedding, I carry out a careful selection, guided by my eye and my sensibility.
Every image is chosen for its ability to convey emotion, to create a cohesive set that stays true to what you experienced. -
Yes, I offer wedding prints and albums.
I work with specialized labs, recognized for the quality of their paper and finishes.
These formats give your memories a whole new dimension, so your images can be relived and shared for years to come.. -
Your photos are delivered through a private, secure online gallery, designed for easy access and sharing, under the "wedding", "access my gallery" tab.
The gallery remains accessible for approximately one year.
That said, I recommend keeping your images on multiple storage devices, external hard drives, or a personal cloud, to ensure they're preserved for the long term. -
Yes, I offer a Day After session.
I'm with you the day after your wedding, for a half day or a full day, during your brunch or moments shared with loved ones.
I can also join you during your honeymoon, for one or several days, to create an immersive, complete story that stays true to who you are and the atmosphere of this unique getaway.
