The Magic of a Paris Elopement
Romance, Freedom & Beautifully Different
Let me share why so many of my couples choose to elope in Paris beyond the iconic landmarks and dreamy streets,
it’s deeply personal.
For some, marrying in Paris fulfils a lifelong dream of Europe
and feels like the perfect beginning.
Others started with plans for a big wedding but found themselves overwhelmed by the expectations and logistics,
and in Paris they discovered freedom.
Many choose to splurge on themselves, combining their wedding and honeymoon into one effortless, romantic escape.
Paris is not just a backdrop — it’s a statement.
It’s for those who long for something exclusive,
something beautifully different.
Maybe they don’t want to marry in the same place
where friends got married.
Maybe they want their wedding photos to feel
magical and ethereal.
And many simply fall in love with the idea of a ceremony
beneath Parisian light, where every street corner, café terrace,
and riverbank feels deeply meaningful.

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor each moment
knowing when to step in among the sunlit vineyards, historic châteaux, or Parisian streets, and sensing when to stand back and let a moment simply be.

intentional representation of this time in your life
imagery that captures the romance, light, and timeless elegance of your French elopement,
making it feel both immediate and everlasting.
The honour is all mine.
Thank you for considering me to document your celebration in France.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT DURING THE WEDDING PLANNING PROCESS?
frequently asked questions →
As your photographer, I will make every effort to contribute to a seamless experience. Much of this comes down to full and easy communication with you, and partnering with your planner to coordinate as needed. I’ll build an organic photography timeline that is conducive to your experience, enhancing each moment rather than taking away from your enjoyment.
CLOSE
WILL YOU POSE OR DIRECT US WHILE YOU DOCUMENT OUR WEDDING?
My approach is a delicate mix of photojournalism and editorial, with an emphasis on the moment. I can sense when you’re carrying tension or feeling anxious, and will provide pointers to help you ease into the moment for naturally beautiful photos. You can expect careful guidance, simple posing, and encouragement to just be yourself.
CLOSE
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MAKES A BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPH?
An incredible photo is the one that you find yourself returning to with fondness throughout your life. So, I would say that the best wedding photographs are more than timing, posing, backgrounds, and lighting. A large part of creating a beautiful photo is capturing the real moments so you can look back and feel genuinely immersed in this time of celebration.
CLOSE
WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?
You’ll receive a complete collection of professionally edited photographs in a private online gallery. Each image will be carefully edited to enhance the beauty of the moment while remaining true to your lived experience. These can be downloaded, shared and printed with ease.
CLOSE
HOW DO WE BOOK OUR DATE(S) WITH YOU?
Reach out, and I’ll send booking materials with your preferred collection. You can officially book your date(s) with a signed contract and booking fee.
