Short answer: a couple session in Paris takes place early in the morning or just before sunset, in one neighbourhood for the one-hour package (Montmartre, the Marais or Île Saint-Louis). I give a few directions at the start, then I photograph, and the gallery arrives within ten days.

Pricing for a couple session is covered in this article. This one answers a different question: what does the hour (or the three and a half hours) you’ll spend with me actually look like?

What time we start

Early morning or just before sunset: the light is softer and the streets are quieter. That holds for all three packages, from the one-hour session to the two-day getaway with sunrise and sunset.

The first ten minutes

I give a few directions at the start, just enough for you to forget the camera: where to walk, where to stop, sometimes just “keep talking.” Then I go quiet and shoot. The images that matter almost always come out of that silence, not the posed moments.

The neighbourhoods

Three come up most often: Montmartre for the streets and stairs, Le Marais for the facades and late-day light, Île Saint-Louis for the quays. The one-hour package covers one neighbourhood; the half-day (€700, 3.5 hours) covers two, with an outfit change in between.

After the session

The private gallery arrives within ten days, as a high-definition download. No selecting on your end: you get everything that’s retouched.
