You chose Paris for its romance and golden light. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement at sunrise by the Seine or a destination pre-wedding shoot at the Louvre — I specialize in capturing the real emotion behind your most important day.
"The most beautiful love stories don't need a grand ceremony — they need a photographer who knows how to be invisible, and photographs that are timeless."
Paris Elopement
An intimate ceremony or just-the-two-of-you photoshoot at the most beautiful and private spots in Paris — from Port Debilly at sunrise to the Palais Royal arcades.
Pre-Wedding Photoshoot
A relaxed session before your big day — used for save-the-dates, wedding websites, or simply to feel comfortable in front of a camera on your wedding day.
Destination Wedding
You chose Paris as the backdrop for your wedding. Whether civil, symbolic, or a full-day ceremony, I document every moment with elegance and authenticity.

As an English-speaking photographer based in Paris since 2013, I specialize in couples who chose Paris for the most meaningful chapter of their story. Having studied in Austin, Texas, and worked with international clients worldwide, I understand what you expect — and how to exceed it.
Clear direction, natural poses, effortless communication throughout.
I know the best light at each Paris location by hour and season.
I photograph elopements and weddings as a storyteller, not a service provider.
