Paris elopement & wedding photographer
Sunrise on the Seine, a town hall in the middle of the week, a walk down rue de Rivoli: your Paris elopement or wedding, told as a story, with no stiff poses.
Paris
A city best photographed on foot
Paris tells its story as you walk: out of the town hall, across a bridge, into a cobbled courtyard, and the city does the rest. I’m based in Caen, two hours away by train, and I bring the same eye I use for Normandy weddings: discreet, attentive to gestures, never staged.
I’ve photographed engagement sessions on the Seine riverbanks and rue de Rivoli. The first photos on this page come from them.
Formats
Elopement, wedding or engagement session
Getting legally married in Paris requires a real tie to the city: one of you, or one of your parents, must live in the arrondissement or have resided there for at least a month. Most couples coming from abroad marry at home and celebrate in Paris with a symbolic ceremony.
The elopement collection, four hours from €1,490, is made for that: your vows, a walk through the city, a few close friends or nobody at all. Engagement and proposal sessions are €390.

The Seine riverbanks
01
Early morning, before the bookstalls open, when the light skims across the water.
Rue de Rivoli
02
Arcades, motion blur, the golden statue: the Paris that moves around you.
Under the city
03
Passages, corridors, stairways: places people rush through often make the strongest images.
The wedding hall
04
Wood panels, gilding and little light: I avoid flash whenever I can, to keep the atmosphere.
An hour for the two of you
05
A couple session by the water, at the hour when the city slows down.
The celebration
06
Champagne, clinking glasses and everything that happens between the speeches.
Good to know
Planning a Paris elopement
Book the sunrise if you can: the bridges, the riverbanks and the big squares are almost empty, and the light is soft. Bring comfortable shoes for the walk between spots. I travel from Caen by train; travel costs are listed in your quote, never as a surprise.
I’m a fluent English speaker. Your guests from abroad will be at ease during group photos, and so will you.
Eloping in Paris
Can we legally get married in Paris?+
Only if one of you, or one of your parents, lives in the arrondissement or has resided there for at least a month. Otherwise, the usual route is a legal wedding at home and a symbolic ceremony in Paris.
How much does a Paris elopement photographer cost?+
My elopement collection starts at €1,490 for four hours of coverage. Full-day weddings start at €2,890. Travel from Caen is added to your quote.
When is the best time for photos in Paris?+
Sunrise, without hesitation: famous places are nearly empty. Late afternoon works too, when the light gets lower and warmer.
Do you photograph proposals and engagement sessions?+
Yes: one to two hours wherever you like, for €390. It's also a good way to see how we work together before the big day.
Prefer the sea and the countryside? Normandy is two hours away.
