Do you speak English?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes, fluently. I photograph destination weddings in Normandy for couples coming from the UK, the US and elsewhere, and we can do everything in English, from the first call to the gallery. On the day, I move easily between your English-speaking and French-speaking guests.<\/p><\/details>

We live abroad. How do we plan with you?+<\/i><\/summary>

Entirely remotely if you like: a video call to start, then email. Before the wedding I visit your venue on your behalf to check the light, the tides and the exact spots for your photos, so nothing is left to guesswork.<\/p><\/details>

How much does a wedding photographer in Normandy cost?+<\/i><\/summary>

My collections start at \u20ac1,890 for 5 hours, from the ceremony to the drinks reception. The Signature collection, 8 hours from getting ready to dinner, starts at \u20ac2,890, and the H\u00e9ritage collection, with two photographers until the first dance, at \u20ac4,500. Full details are on the Prices<\/a> page.<\/p><\/details>

Why are your prices higher than average?+<\/i><\/summary>

Because I photograph only five weddings a year, every delivered image is chosen and retouched one by one, and I\u2019m there from the first coffee to the album. You pay for time and an eye, not for a volume of photos.<\/p><\/details>

How do you choose your weddings?+<\/i><\/summary>

Simply: we talk first, for thirty minutes, by phone, video call or over a coffee in Caen. No forms to fill in. Mostly I\u2019m asking myself whether your day inspires me and whether we get on. If not, I\u2019ll tell you honestly and recommend a colleague.<\/p><\/details>

When should we book?+<\/i><\/summary>

As early as possible: I take on only five weddings a year, and Saturdays from May to September often go a year ahead. For a weekday or off-season wedding, a few months is often enough.<\/p><\/details>

Can we meet beforehand?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes, and I recommend it: at the studio in Caen, over a coffee or by video call. It\u2019s a chance to see whether we click, and to talk about your day.<\/p><\/details>

Can the collections be adapted?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes. A collection is a starting point: we can add hours, a session, an album or a second photographer, and talk about it freely.<\/p><\/details>

Do you travel all over Normandy?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes: Calvados, Manche, Orne, Eure and Seine-Maritime, and Paris too. Travel is included within 50 km of Caen; beyond that, it appears in the quote.<\/p><\/details>

Do you travel abroad?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes. For a wedding or an elopement outside France, write to me directly with the venue and the date.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How does the day work, photo-wise?+<\/i><\/summary>

When we meet, we agree on the key moments together: couple photos, group photos. To save you time, the couple photos can be done between getting ready and the ceremony. For the rest of the day, I blend into your wedding and all you have to do is live it.<\/p><\/details>

How do the couple photos work?+<\/i><\/summary>

I always plan two places: one outdoors, the other indoors in case of bad weather. No stiff poses: we walk, we talk, and I take pictures.<\/p><\/details>

What about group photos?+<\/i><\/summary>

Gathering everyone isn\u2019t easy. I usually take them before the drinks reception, with the help of someone close who knows the family and puts the groups together.<\/p><\/details>

Do you shoot film?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes, as an option: portraits on medium-format or large-format film, alongside the digital coverage.<\/p><\/details>

Colour or black and white?+<\/i><\/summary>

Both. I don\u2019t deliver every image twice: a good black and white is decided when the picture is taken, by working the contrast. So you receive a mix of colour and black and white.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After the wedding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
When will we receive our photos?+<\/i><\/summary>

A sneak peek of around twenty images within 48 hours, then the full gallery within three weeks.<\/p><\/details>

How many photos will we receive?+<\/i><\/summary>

There\u2019s no quota: I deliver a tight selection, every image retouched one by one. The number depends on the length and pace of the day.<\/p><\/details>

How does the online gallery work?+<\/i><\/summary>

You receive a private, password-protected gallery. You can share it with your guests so they can see the photos of the day.<\/p><\/details>

Do you make albums?+<\/i><\/summary>

Yes. I\u2019m also a graphic designer: I lay out fine art albums myself, bound like real books.<\/p><\/details><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
