Destination film wedding photographer
in France and Europe

EXPERIENCE & PRICING

35 MM FILM & DIGITAL, CAMCORDER - REPORTAGE & EDITORIAL PORTRAITS

For everything you imagined. And everything you couldn’t have anticipated.​

The reunions, the glances exchanged, the speeches, the carefully chosen details. But also the moments that unfold without anyone really noticing them.

 

I photograph weddings with a documentary approach and an editorial eye, blending film and digital photography. There’s room for spontaneity and room for creativity, without ever losing sight of what matters most to you.

​​

From the Alps to Provence, from Paris to Italy, I’ll be there with you throughout France and across Europe.

Your wedding, shaped around you

Weddings in France & accross Europe

For couples who choose to bring their loved ones together somewhere that carries real meaning. I cover your day in full, from the morning preparations and ceremony through to dinner and the evening celebration, with consistency and discretion. Along the Mediterranean coast, between the landscapes of the Côte d'Azur and the villages of the Luberon, by Lake Annecy, in the Tuscan estates around the Val d'Orcia, or in historic cities like Seville — every wedding becomes a complete, personal story.

 

For celebrations that unfold over several days — a rehearsal dinner the night before, the ceremony itself, a brunch the morning after — I'm there at every stage, to tell the story in its full continuity, beyond the key moments alone.

 

A couple or engagement session can also be added to your collection, ahead of the wedding, as a way to slow down, reconnect, and feel at ease in front of the camera when the day comes.

We have only one thing to say: PERFECT! We highly recommend Caroline—she took incredible photos for our wedding! The texture and colors are gorgeous, and all our guests agreed—and she did it all in just one week! Beyond the quality of her work, her kindness, thoughtfulness, and smile helped ensure that everything went smoothly during the planning process and, most importantly, on the big day.

MUCH MORE THAN JUST BEING THERE ON THE BIG DAY.

​​

A beautiful photo story begins long before the wedding. I like to take the time to get to know you, understand your vision for the day, and learn about the people who matter most to you.

​​

Together, we’ll figure out where photography fits into your schedule: finding the right moment for portraits, taking advantage of special lighting, and setting aside time for your loved ones—all without turning your wedding into a photo shoot.

​​

When the day arrives, I’ll already know your story, your expectations, and the important details. I can then focus on what matters most: capturing what unfolds naturally, while knowing exactly when to step in to help create the images we’ve envisioned.

Film photography

Film was, at first, simply a way of taking photographs for me. Over time, it also became a way of looking.

​

I love its texture, its colours and the way it responds to light. But I equally love what it asks of me when I photograph: to observe, to choose, and then to trust the image without being able to see it immediately.

​

Today, I photograph weddings using a combination of film and digital, each with its own place within the story. Film brings its texture, colours and distinctive way of rendering light and movement. Digital allows me to complete the story and share a first glimpse of your photographs with you shortly after the wedding.

​

For those who want to take this approach a little further, the entire wedding can also be photographed on film.

Questions

What is it like to work with you?

​

Our experience together begins long before your wedding day. I love taking the time to get to know your story, your personalities, the places you've chosen, and the atmosphere you envision for your celebration.

We'll share inspirations, discuss your ideas, and talk about the moments that matter most to you. I'll also help you thoughtfully plan the photography around your wedding timeline, considering the light, the portraits we'd like to create, and how photography fits naturally into your day.

By the time your wedding arrives, I'll have a genuine understanding of your world and what matters to you. This allows me to move naturally between the moments I quietly observe and the images we have fun creating together.

​

How much time do you dedicate to couple portraits on the wedding day?

​

As much as feels right for you.

I love spontaneous portraits just as much as the ones we intentionally create together. Making the most of a beautiful setting, playing with architecture, light, movement, silhouettes, or simply having fun in front of the camera.

Some couples dream of fashion-inspired, editorial portraits, while others prefer something more relaxed and less posed. There's room for both.

I'll offer direction when needed while leaving plenty of space for you to experiment and enjoy yourselves. The idea is to create photographs that feel like you, while making the most of everything your wedding setting has to offer.

​

How do we balance photography with spending time with our guests?

​

That's something we'll thoughtfully plan together.

I'll help you find the best moments for portraits, taking into consideration the light, the location, and the natural flow of your celebration.

If you love editorial photography, we can set aside time to get creative. Or, if you prefer, we can plan a few shorter portrait sessions throughout the day.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is for you to have the photographs you'll treasure without feeling like you've missed out on your own wedding.

​

Can we share our inspirations and the photographs that matter to us?

​

Absolutely. It's actually one of my favorite parts of the preparation process.

You're welcome to share photographs, fashion references, films, moods, or places that inspire you. These conversations help me understand your taste, your sensibility, and the world you're creating for your wedding.

We'll also talk about the people, traditions, and moments you especially want to remember, including any family portraits that are important to you.

I see inspiration as a creative starting point rather than a list of images to recreate. It's a way for us to imagine something that feels entirely your own.

​

What's the difference between hybrid photography and an entirely film-based wedding?

​

My wedding collection combines 35mm film and digital photography, including approximately 200 film photographs within a 10-hour coverage.

I love the texture of film, its colors, the way it captures light, and the particular place it holds in my photographic approach. Digital photography complements this beautifully, giving me the flexibility to document your day with continuity and variety.

I also offer weddings photographed entirely on film, for couples who want analog photography to be the sole medium used throughout their celebration.

Whichever approach you choose, my intention remains the same: to tell your story through a blend of documentary storytelling and an editorial eye.​

Can we customize our wedding photography coverage?

​

Of course. My signature wedding collection includes 10 hours of coverage, but every celebration has its own rhythm.

We can arrange additional hours, a second photographer, or a couple's session before or after your wedding.

I can also document the celebrations surrounding your wedding day, from a welcome dinner to a farewell brunch or an entire wedding weekend spent with your favorite people.

Together, we'll create a proposal that reflects your plans, your priorities, and the moments you'd love to remember.

​

Do you photograph weddings in France and internationally?

​

Yes. Based in France, I travel throughout the country and internationally to photograph weddings, particularly in Italy and across Europe.

I love discovering new places and the stories that unfold within them. Weddings that bring together different countries, languages, and traditions are especially meaningful to me, as they resonate with my own multicultural background.

Travel and accommodation are quoted as a fixed fee based on your destination and clearly outlined in your personalized proposal.

​

Do you work with wedding planners and other vendors?

​​

Absolutely. I really value collaborations where everyone brings their expertise together to create a thoughtful, seamless celebration.

I'm happy to coordinate directly with your wedding planner ahead of the day to discuss the timeline, key moments, logistics, lighting considerations, and time set aside for portraits.

This collaboration allows me to work smoothly alongside your wedding team while remaining attentive to all the spontaneous moments unfolding around us.

​

When and how will we receive our photographs?

​

You'll receive a first preview of your wedding photographs within the first week after your celebration, so you can begin reliving those special moments.

Your complete wedding gallery is typically delivered within six weeks, according to the timeframe outlined in your contract.

Your photographs will be presented in a private online gallery, where you can enjoy them and share them with your loved ones.

​

How do we reserve our wedding date?

​

It all begins with a message telling me a little about your plans: your wedding date, your chosen venue, and a few details about the celebration you're dreaming of.

We'll then arrange a call to get to know each other, talk through your ideas, and answer any questions you may have.

If we decide to move forward together, I'll send you a personalized proposal. Your date will be officially secured once the contract has been signed and the retainer has been paid.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every story the time, care, and attention it deserves.
