For wedding planners shaping destination France

A Paris wedding photographer your planners trust

Editorial, documentary, and quietly present. I photograph weddings at the Ritz, the Crillon, and the private hôtels particuliers of Paris, on medium format, with the patience the city asks for. Recommended by leading wedding planners on three continents.

What planners need from a Paris wedding photographer

I have worked with enough wedding planners to know that the brief sounds the same on every continent. The photographer needs to be calm under pressure. To anticipate the moment without being asked. To handle a Place Vendôme entrance, a private château ceremony, and a midnight Eiffel Tower portrait with the same composure. To deliver galleries on time, every time.

Beyond that, the part that matters most to a planner is rarely listed on any contract. It is whether the photographer makes the wedding day easier or harder. Whether they read the room. Whether they protect the couple's energy or drain it. Whether they show up the day before to scout, or the day of and hope.

I built my approach around what the best planners I work with have taught me. I arrive a day or two before the wedding to walk the venue. I introduce myself to the florist and the videographer before the ceremony. I never ask the couple to do something twice. I shoot on Fujifilm GFX medium format, which slows me down and forces me to wait for the moment instead of spraying through it.

When a planner sends me their next destination France couple, they are trusting me with their reputation. I take that seriously.

Reserved for planners joining The Atelier

If you are a planner I have not yet collaborated with and the work feels aligned, the next step is The Atelier.

03 · The Atelier

The Atelier · A private space for planners

The Atelier is a private digital space I built for the wedding planners I work with. It is invitation-only and never publicly listed. Inside, planners have access to my full portfolio, live calendar availability, gallery preview links by venue, and an AI-powered conversation interface that answers questions about my approach, dates, and process in real time.

The Atelier exists because the standard photographer-planner relationship is built around email threads and PDF brochures, which take too long. When a planner has a couple asking about Paris next May, they need to know if I am available, what my work at the Ritz looks like, and how I think about a Provence château wedding. They need that in the next ten minutes, not the next three days.

Access to The Atelier is granted by introduction or by direct request to me. If you are a planner working on destination France weddings and you would like access, the conversation starts inside The Atelier itself.

04 · The Venues

The venues planners book most often

These are the venues I keep returning to with planners. Each has its own light, its own logistics, and its own way of holding a wedding day. Click any venue to see the gallery and read what I have learned shooting there.

05 · The Collaboration

How I work with planners

The collaboration usually starts inside The Atelier where the planner shares the couple's brief, the venue, and what they are hoping the gallery will hold. From there, I send a tailored proposal through Pixieset with a clear scope of coverage, deliverables, and pricing structure. Pricing is shared once we connect through The Atelier, never before.

On the wedding day, I arrive when the planner asks me to and I disappear when they need me to. I coordinate directly with the videographer to stay out of each other's frames. I deliver sneak peeks within 48 hours and the full gallery within 6 to 8 weeks for standard collections, faster for the Grand collection.

After the wedding, I share the full gallery directly with the planner before the couple sees it, so the planner can flag any images they want highlighted for editorial submissions. I have been published in Vogue, Brides, Wedding Sparrow, Carats & Cake, and Style Me Pretty, and I know how to deliver a gallery that gives planners options for their PR strategy.

Recognition that helps planners pitch to couples

The publications matter to planners because they help close the conversation with discerning couples. Here is what I bring to that pitch.

07 · Questions

Questions planners ask

What dates do you have available?

Live availability is visible inside The Atelier. Request access to see real-time dates without waiting. Wednesdays are reserved for family and never available for weddings.

Do you travel outside Paris?

Often. Most of my work happens in French châteaux outside Paris, from Provence and the Côte d'Azur to Bordeaux, the Dordogne, and the Loire. I also shoot regularly in Italy, Switzerland, and have photographed weddings as far as Tuscany and the Ivory Coast. Travel and accommodation are always grouped as a single line item in my proposals.

What is your pricing structure?

Three collections: Intimate, Signature, and Grand. Pricing is shared after we connect through The Atelier, never before. Every couple is different and I propose a custom scope based on the venue, the day's flow, and what the planner has built.

Do you offer second photographer coverage?

Yes, for Signature and Grand collections. The second photographer is someone I have worked with before and trust completely. I never bring an unknown photographer to a wedding I am leading.

How do you coordinate with my videographer?

Directly. I introduce myself the day before the wedding if possible, or the morning of at the latest. I have preferred videographer partners (Laurent Rostaing Films, 3 Petits Points) but I work with whoever the planner has chosen. The goal is mutual respect for the frame.

Do you submit weddings for editorial publication?

I prepare every wedding gallery with editorial submission in mind. I share the gallery with the planner first so they can identify the images they want for their own pitches. I have direct relationships with editors at Brides, Wedding Sparrow, and several others. For Vogue and Over The Moon, I work through the planner's existing relationships.

How do I introduce you to a couple?

The simplest path is to add me to your photographer recommendation list and share my Atelier link with the couple. The Atelier handles the rest.
