Before or after the wedding
Pre/Post-Wedding Session in Paris
Looking for full wedding-day coverage? → Wedding page.
I photograph pre- and post-wedding sessions in Paris: 1 to 3 hours, from €300, around the Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III, the Louvre or Montmartre, with the full gallery within ten days.
Getting married somewhere else but want real photos of the two of you in Paris? That’s exactly what this session is for: before or after your wedding, we spend time together across Paris for a proper couple shoot, not another tourist snapshot.
We pick the locations together. My usual suggestions are the Eiffel Tower, Pont Alexandre III, the Louvre, and Montmartre, but if you have somewhere specific in mind, we can talk it through. If the weather turns, I keep the Petit Palais as a backup: we stay outdoors, but its façade works as a backdrop and keeps most of the sky out of frame, so we can keep shooting without worry. Other backup options are possible too, we can talk it through depending on where we planned to shoot that day.
I mostly work with Paris’s natural light, but I always bring two Profoto B10X Plus lights in case the light on the day isn’t enough. Either way, we stick to whatever we planned together.
