Timeless Photography for Your Wedding in the Heart of France

Capturing Candid & Genuine Emotions Through Storytelling

France is the epitome of romance, offering breathtaking wedding venues, stunning photo locations, and an atmosphere filled with elegance and charm. Whether you're dreaming of a glamorous Parisian wedding, a countryside château celebration, or a sophisticated vineyard affair, I bring a storytelling approach infused with editorial sophistication to capture your love in the most authentic way.

Having had my own wedding in Paris at the Shangri-La Paris, I understand the magic of saying "I do" in France. My intimate wedding of 20 guests embraced true French traditions—from a croquembouche wedding cake to reciting my vows in French with the guidance of our wonderful officiant, The Paris Officiant – Laura Montorio. I wore a birdcage veil for a touch of classic French inspiration. This experience gave me a deep connection to France and an even greater passion for capturing weddings in this beautiful country.

Why France is the Ultimate Wedding Destination

France offers some of the most breathtaking wedding settings in the world:

  • Paris – The city of love, with its iconic landmarks and timeless elegance.

  • The French Countryside – Rolling vineyards, charming stone villages, and historic châteaux.

  • The Riviera – A glamorous coastal escape with stunning Mediterranean views.

  • Provence – Endless lavender fields, olive groves, and golden sunsets.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement (which I do not offer) or a grand destination wedding, France provides the perfect backdrop for your love story.

Venues I Love in France

Having experience in destination weddings, I appreciate the importance of choosing the perfect venue. Here are some of the most stunning venues in France that align beautifully with my photography style:

  • Shangri-La Paris – A luxurious Parisian venue with breathtaking Eiffel Tower views—where I had my own wedding.

  • Château de Villette – An elegant and historic château just outside of Paris, perfect for an opulent wedding.

  • Château Martinay – A stunning venue in Provence, surrounded by lavender fields and old-world charm.

  • Château de Bonnemare – A 16th-century Normandy château with picturesque gardens and rich history.

  • Château Bouffémont – A refined estate offering privacy, sophistication, and grandeur for your wedding day.

  • I’ve worked with and admire planners such as:
    ✨ NKT Events (based in Nice)
    ✨ Mae & Co. Creative
    ✨ Honey & Thyme Events
    ✨ EverBe Creative
    ✨ Hummingbird Events (Boston-based)

    These planners are exceptional at designing and executing weddings in France that are both seamless and stunning.

Planning a destination wedding in France can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to make sure that the photography experience is effortless and stress-free.
