If you’re thinking about booking a photographer in Paris, you probably have some questions!

Here are some of the most common questions I receive. If you don’t see yours answered here, please get in touch with me and ask. I’d be more than happy to help!

You might want to know…

What kind of photography do you do?

I specialize in elopements, destination weddings, and couples photography. I love taking the kind of portraits that capture important moments, whether that moment is saying your vows, a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Paris, or that secret glance you exchange with the love of your life.

Natural light photography is my jam, but if you have a night or indoor shoot in mind, I’ve got the gear and I know how to use it!

Are you inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community?

Yes yes yes! It’s incredibly important to me that everybody feels safe and welcome working with me. I love getting to work with clients who identify all across the spectrums of sexuality, gender, and relationships.

I need an English-speaking or bilingual photographer in Paris. Is that you?

Quite possibly! I’m a native English speaker from California (hey there, fellow Californians!) but I also speak fluent French and Italian, as well as some Spanish. We can do our Paris photoshoot in whatever language is easiest for you! Or we can mix and match languages if your group speaks more than one language, or if you’re just feeling funky.

How far in advance to I need to book?

Honestly, it depends! As a photographer who travels a lot (and often by the seat of my pants) I know that sometimes you might not know your plans months or even weeks in advance.

My schedule fills up more quickly for the summer and early fall than other seasons, and I always recommend reaching out sooner rather than later. That said, if I have the availability I’m happy to take reservations even a few days in advance.

For couples’ shoots (not weddings) in Paris: you can choose a package and submit an inquiry form here, and you will automatically get an email from me with my availability for the coming days and months. That’s the quickest and easiest way to see if I’m available—and get your Paris photo shoot confirmed while you’re at it!

For elopements and weddings: please send me an inquiry via this form, and I will get back to you ASAP with my availability for your date.

How much do you charge?

I believe transparency in pricing is important. As a rough guide, an hour-long photoshoot + basic retouching and editing + 30 digitally delivered photos for noncommercial use starts at 350€. Elopements and weddings in the greater Paris area start at 3000€ for a full day, or 750€ for short-and-sweet 2 hour photography coverage.

For full pricing, you can view (and book!) my most popular pricing & packages for couples’ photography in Paris here.

Starting prices for my elopement and destination wedding photography is here, including for non-Paris destinations. (And yes, I will happily travel nearly anywhere!)

And of course, if you have something unique in mind, please reach out via my contact page and I will get a custom quote to you!

Where do you do your photography?

I’m based in Paris, France—the 15th arrondissement, to be exact! I will happily meet you for photography anywhere in Paris, and I’m also available for elopements and destination weddings worldwide.

What’s your booking process?

Step 1: Get in touch with me!

If you’re looking for elopement or destination wedding photography in Paris, France, or elsewhere, please submit an inquiry on this page and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

For couples’ photo shoots, you can now choose and book your photo shoot package directly! It involves checking your email a few times, but you can be fully confirmed and booked quickly and automatically!

Step 2: Once we’ve got a contract signed and a 40% deposit paid, you’re officially in my calendar!

I’m available to answer any questions you might have in preparation, and I’ll check in as our date gets closer!

Step 3: We both meet at the agreed-upon place and time, we take some beautiful photos together, and we have a lot of fun doing it.

Step 4: I spend some time editing the very best shots of the day to deliver a series of polished photos right to your inbox! I will send you a link to your digital gallery when they’re ready for download.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

If something happens to either of us, like missed flights, injuries, strikes, or other disasters (Acts of God), we can either cancel or reschedule depending on circumstances.

For personal and couples’ shoots where we have not reserved a space, we can reschedule up until the day before the shoot if necessary. Deposits are not refundable, but we can apply them towards a rescheduled photo session. However, please keep in mind that my availability may be limited on short notice.

How does the digital photo delivery work?

Unless you request otherwise, all photos will be delivered via password-protected online gallery, where you can download both full-resolution photos and smaller photos for your social media.

When your photos are ready, I’ll send you an email with a link to your personalized gallery and the password you’ll need to access it. The gallery will ask for your email and the pre-defined password, and you’re in! You can share the password with friends, family, coworkers, etc. if you like—totally up to you.

Please make sure to save and back up your images, since I do clean out photos every few months and cannot guarantee that I will have backups for you down the line!

If you’re planning your Paris photography session and have more questions for me, or if you’re ready to book (woohoo!) please get in touch with me here, or you can book a free 15 minute video chat with me here.

Thanks and I’ll get back to you soon!
