Your Paris elopement, your way
An elopement in Paris can be wonderfully simple.
Just the two of you, a beautiful morning in the city, a quiet ceremony, a long lunch, a walk along the Seine — and photographs that bring you back to how it all felt.
As a Paris elopement photographer, I create natural, elegant photographs for couples who want their wedding experience to feel personal rather than performative. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, with an editorial eye for beautiful light, composition and the small moments that make your day yours.
Whether you're planning an intimate Paris elopement for two or bringing a small group of family and friends to France, I'll help you create photographs that feel timeless, genuine and completely personal.
There is no particular way an elopement in Paris has to look.
Perhaps you want to exchange vows somewhere beautiful before wandering through the streets together. Perhaps you're planning a private ceremony followed by dinner at one of your favourite restaurants. Or perhaps your day is simply about the two of you, exploring Paris, stopping for coffee, champagne and photographs whenever the moment feels right.
I don't believe your photographs should turn the day into a photoshoot.
Instead, I'll guide you when needed, help you find beautiful locations and light, and give you space to simply enjoy being together. Some photographs will be gently directed; others happen naturally as you walk, talk, laugh and experience the city together.
The result is a collection of images that feels polished and considered, but never overly posed.

Paris gives you an extraordinary backdrop, but the city itself should never overshadow your story.
From the architecture of the Louvre and Palais Royal to the quieter streets of Saint-Germain, the Seine, elegant Parisian neighbourhoods and beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower, there are countless places to create something distinctive.
I can help you choose locations based on the atmosphere you're looking for, the time of year, the light and how you want your day to unfold.
And while the iconic places are wonderful, some of my favourite photographs are often made a little away from them — on a quiet street, beneath an old Parisian doorway or simply while the two of you are walking between locations.
A calm and considered experience
Most of my couples are travelling to Paris from abroad, often fitting their elopement into a much larger trip to France or Europe.
I understand that planning a wedding from another country can feel complicated. My role goes beyond simply arriving with a camera.
I'll help you think through the timing, locations and photography schedule so that everything feels straightforward before you arrive. On the day itself, I'll keep things relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you to experience your elopement rather than spending the day being photographed.
I'm also happy to work alongside your wedding planner, celebrant, florist or other suppliers to make sure everything comes together smoothly.
Paris elopement photography that feels like you
My photography sits somewhere between documentary and editorial.
I look for genuine connection, natural movement and beautiful light, while bringing a refined eye to composition and detail. I won't ask you to spend the day recreating moments for the camera, and I don't believe every photograph needs to show you looking directly at the lens.
Instead, I'll create a balance of intimate portraits, natural moments, beautiful details and photographs that place you within the atmosphere of Paris.
The finished collection should feel elegant enough to become an heirloom, while still feeling unmistakably like the two of you.

Your photographs should bring you back to the feeling
Years from now, I don't want you to remember your Paris elopement as a series of photographs where you were told where to stand.
I want you to remember the feeling.
The excitement of getting ready. The look between you before the ceremony. Walking through Paris together afterwards. The laughter that wasn't planned. The quiet moments when you forgot I was there.
Those are the photographs that become meaningful.
And those are the photographs I look for.
