Destination film wedding photographer in France and Europe
A few dates still available in 2026. 2027 bookings are now open.
To preserve what matters.
And everything happening around it.
I photograph weddings primarily on film, with digital photography alongside it when it has a place.
I love the days that have been thought about for months, and everything that, once they begin, could never have been planned. The people you love gathered in one place, everything you carefully imagined, what’s happening somewhere else while everyone is looking in the same direction.
It’s all of this together that I want to photograph.
Your wedding, shaped around you
A wedding can unfold over a single day. It can also begin the evening before, continue the following day, or bring together twenty people around one table or two hundred people arriving from different parts of the world.
My coverage is shaped around what you’re actually planning.
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.
Pricing
Every collection is built around your day — its length, the location, and the format you choose, film-only or hybrid.
As a guide, hybrid starts at €4,500 including VAT in France, full film starts at €6,000 including VAT in France. Destinations outside France are quoted individually, depending on the location and length of stay.
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.
What they say
"We just wanted to thank you for being there with us all day. [...] We’ve just had a look at the full gallery, and it’s such a joy to be able to relive the day. You’ve managed to capture so many little moments and emotions — that’s exactly what we were hoping to see in our wedding photos, and you’ve done it brilliantly. We’re so glad we put our trust in you!”
— A+B
“Carito, our art photographer, has taken 100 per cent of our photos on film, using roll-film cameras, just as they used to do in the old days.
This means that every photo is unique and impossible to reproduce. There aren’t hundreds of shots or endless retouching afterwards; each image depends entirely on the moment, the light and Carito’s sensitivity behind the lens. Once the film is finished, she sends it to a specialist lab to digitise the negatives whilst preserving all the essence and authentic texture of analogue photography.
Phew, what a stroke of genius – this return to the basics. Thank you, Caro.”

How we work together
01. Getting to know each other
You share your plans, your ideas — even if everything isn’t fully defined yet.
We take the time to speak, to understand what matters to you, and to see if we feel aligned. If it feels right, we move forward together and shape something that truly reflects you.
02. Shaping your experience
From that point on, I’m here to guide you.
Whether it’s refining your timeline, sharing recommendations, or simply helping you make decisions that feel right — everything is designed to support a day that feels natural, intentional, and entirely yours. If you wish, we can also plan an engagement session, a moment to connect and create ease before the wedding.
03. The wedding day
On the day, you don’t have to think about anything. I already understand what matters to you, and I move with your rhythm, allowing you to be fully present while I document everything with care, discretion, and intention.
04. After your wedding
Your images are carefully selected and edited, and delivered within 3 to 6 weeks through a private high-resolution gallery, combining both film and digital photography. Film negatives are also provided, as a lasting archive of your wedding day. If you wish, your images can take on a more tangible form through fine art prints or a leather photo album, designed as objects to revisit and pass on for generations.
Questions
How will your approach make us feel?
My work is for couples who want to experience their wedding fully, rather than perform it.
If trust, authenticity and storytelling matter more to you than controlling every image or following trends, we are likely aligned.
Do we need to pose on the wedding day?
My approach is fully documentary. On the wedding day, I observe and tell the story of what unfolds, I do not direct the day.
For couple portraits, I offer gentle guidance to create movement and connection. You don’t need to “know how to pose”. My role is to create a space where you can remain yourselves.
If constant direction or highly constructed images are essential to you, my work may not be the best fit.
Can we provide a shot list?
I don’t work from detailed shot lists. They tend to shift the focus away from what is genuinely happening.
Instead, I rely on anticipation, observation and instinct, allowing space for unplanned moments, often the most meaningful ones.
Can we share our inspirations?
Yes, and it is an important part of my process. You are welcome to share visual references, images, films, books, places, music or atmospheres that resonate with you.
Often, these inspirations go beyond weddings and speak about travel, cinema, culture or personal memories.
They are never used as templates to reproduce, but as a way for me to understand your world, your sensitivity and how you see things.
My role is not to recreate existing images, but to translate your story through my own gaze.
How important is aesthetics in your work?
Aesthetics are essential, but never decorative. My work is shaped by photography, cinema, fashion, architecture, travel and the places in which I work.
Each location brings its own light, rhythm and atmosphere, which actively influence the story being told.
The goal is always to connect aesthetics with lived experience, creating images that feel grounded, honest and deeply linked to their context.
Why photograph a wedding on film?
Film imposes a different rhythm and way of seeing. It slows things down. It requires attention, observation and choice. Each frame is intentional.
This is not about nostalgia or a visual effect, but about posture: accepting that not everything can be controlled, and trusting the moment as it unfolds.
Digital photography complements this approach by ensuring continuity and reliability during key moments. Both serve the narrative.
The result is a wedding gallery that feels lived-in: warm tones, natural grain, images that hold the atmosphere of your ceremony, your reception, your first dance, exactly as it was.
What about group photos?
They are never mandatory. If they matter to you, we plan them simply and efficiently so they remain fluid and never dominate the day.
If they don’t, we can keep them very limited or skip them entirely to leave more room for spontaneity.
How do you support us before the wedding?
Once the booking is confirmed, I will guide you step by step, without being intrusive. You will receive:
-
a detailed guide, with advice based on experience (organisation, timing, lighting, important moments),
-
a Pinterest moodboard, to share your inspirations,
-
a questionnaire and a planning meeting about a month before the wedding.
I will remain available by message if you have any doubts, questions or need advice. We will move forward together, but always at your pace.
What about travel?
I am based in the French Alps, very close to Italy and Switzerland, 3 hours from Paris and Provence. I travel throughout France and Europe for destination weddings, elopements and multi-day celebrations.
Are you comfortable with multicultural or international weddings?
Very much so. I work with couples whose stories often span multiple countries, languages and cultures.
This resonates deeply with my own background — being the daughter of a Mexican mother and a Spanish father, born and raised in France.
I move naturally between cultures and languages, paying close attention to family dynamics, rituals and what is unfolding between people.
Can you help us organize photography from abroad?
Absolutely. Many of the couples I work with are planning their destination wedding in Europe from another country.
From our very first exchanges, I ensure that everything related to photography is clear, fluid and well-organized, even from a distance. We communicate through video calls, emails and shared documents, at a rhythm that suits you.
You will receive guidance based on experience, visual references, and practical advice to help you make confident decisions — without overwhelm.
My goal is simple: that on your wedding day, wherever you come from, photography feels effortless, familiar and fully taken care of.
How do we know if we are a good fit?
Before any booking, I always suggest a conversation, ideally by video call. This moment allows us to see whether my way of working, my gaze and your vision of the wedding feel aligned.
Choosing a wedding photographer is, above all, a matter of trust.
If this approach speaks to the way you imagine your wedding, if living the day matters more to you than staging it, if the idea of creating a sincere and lasting memory feels important, then we may be a good fit.
Write to me. No pressure. Just a conversation to see if we choose each other.
