1. A photo documentary, not just a series of poses
I offer a wedding photo-documentary approach, based on moments captured in the moment, with no stiff poses. Each image tells a story, captures a feeling, a shared look, a hand squeezed a little tighter than usual. This requires real attention, anticipation, and a discreet yet constant presence throughout the day.
2. Professional-grade equipment
A professional photographer works with high-end and—crucially—redundant equipment. Two camera bodies, several fast lenses, multiple memory cards, plenty of batteries, and a secure backup system. Nothing is left to chance. I'm equipped to handle any unforeseen situation, so your memories are in good hands, no matter the conditions.
Gear value brought to a wedding
On average, I bring over €5,000 worth of gear to each wedding. This equipment is maintained, updated, and insured. It’s a constant investment, necessary to deliver impeccable image quality.
3. The invisible time: preparation, sorting, and editing
The wedding day itself is just one part of the job. Additional time includes:
- A planning session (online or in person) to understand your expectations and organize the day.
- Scouting the location, if possible, before the big day.
- Sorting through thousands of photos afterward.
- Post-processing: each photo is individually edited to balance light, enhance colors, and faithfully recreate the atmosphere of the moment.
This work requires time, patience, and great care. Expect 3 to 5 full working days in addition to the wedding day itself.
4. Professional software and services
A professional photographer uses paid software to develop images: Capture One, Photoshop, cloud backup tools, secure online galleries… These are ongoing monthly subscriptions, essential to delivering quality work and protecting your files.
5. Administrative costs (that you don’t see)
Like any self-employed professional, I pay mandatory contributions, social charges, business insurance, and overhead costs. No, you’re not just paying for "8 hours of a photographer" — you’re supporting everything it takes to do this job with ethics, seriousness, and sustainability.
And of course, I’ll spare you the tax details... but yes, they’re there.
6. Printing and delivery-related costs
When you choose options like fine art prints, photo books or professional albums, the pricing also includes:
- Image selection and layout design
- Approval exchanges with you
- High-end printing costs with trusted partners
- Shipping fees or lead times set by suppliers
I work with high-quality French print labs specializing in premium materials (Dibond aluminum prints, plexiglass …)
7. A personal, human relationship
I don’t sell one-size-fits-all packages. Every couple is different, every story deserves special attention. My goal is to support you with kindness and simplicity. You won’t be just “another client” in a crowded schedule.
My eye is guided by emotion, spontaneity, and the desire to capture the invisible. What matters most to me is that you feel, through the images, what you felt that day.
