Wedding photographer at Castel des Anges

Yes — optional 1.5h session in a location chosen with you (urban exterior, nature, meaningful place). It's a chance to get used to the camera so the wedding day feels more natural.

Yes, and for some couples it is the only ceremony of the day. The wedding room at a French town hall is often small and poorly lit, and you cannot move around freely: we take position before you walk in and only move for the moments that matter, the ring exchange and the signing of the register, with no flash and never stepping in front of the mayor. Coming out of the town hall is the best moment of the day for group photos, because everyone is gathered in one place, whereas guests scatter within ten minutes at the cocktail hour. If the town hall and the reception venue are far apart, tell us beforehand: the journey is part of the coverage and is built into the timeline, just like the getting-ready shots. We have photographed as many village town halls as châteaux.

Between 600 and 1200 retouched photos depending on coverage duration. All sharp, sorted chronologically, delivered in high resolution via a private downloadable gallery.

30-photo preview gallery within 5 days, full retouched delivery in 4 to 8 weeks depending on the season. An email update notifies you at each stage.

Cinematic reportage: we capture real moments without interrupting, with a subtle warm finish. A few staged portraits as a complement, but the DNA remains auteur photography — sensitive and crafted.

In France, the range runs from €1,500 to €3,000 for a full day. Our packages start at €1,080, including the private online gallery, retouched photos and usage rights. What moves a quote is not the number of photos but the hours of coverage, whether a second shooter is present, and the deliverables: printed album, pre-wedding session, video alongside. Our prices are published on the pricing page, with no mandatory quote step.

None: they are different words for the same thing. Photo session and shoot are the everyday terms, couple session says what is being photographed, engagement session is the American term and usually happens after the proposal, pre-wedding means before the wedding, post-wedding or day after means once it is done. Behind those five words the service is identical: an hour and a half, just the two of you, in a place you choose, and the same photos at the end. The only real difference is the timing. Before the wedding, the session prepares the day itself. After it, it gives back the time you never had: the dress comes out again, you go where you could not go, you wait for the right light instead of making do with the one you have.

Three things, in this order. Spending time in front of the camera with nothing at stake, so that on the day you no longer wonder what to do with your hands. Settling together what you like, what you dislike and how close you are comfortable being: it is a visual brief, and it saves discovering your taste during the couple portraits, while the cocktail hour is waiting. And leaving with images you can use right away, for the save the date, the invitations, the welcome sign or your wedding website. In practice the session happens between three months and a year before the date, and couples who have done one arrive relaxed on the morning of the wedding: it shows in the portraits. It is not included in the wedding package, it is priced alongside it, in the same quote.
