• HONEYMOON : Avoid the post-wedding blues by having your honeymoon in France! You can extend the celebrations and visit some of the most iconic locations in the country. 

• HOLIDAY FOR GUESTS : Your guests will love making your wedding a holiday too and it may be a chance for your friends and family to visit somewhere they might not have considered otherwise. Make sure you get your invitations sent out well in advance so your loved ones can book time off work.

FRENCH TRADITIONS

The French traditions are guaranteed to capture your heart and we love seeing how our couples embrace them at their own wedding day, from champagne towers to croquembouche. 

• No Language Barriers : The majority of regions in France are English-speaking so you don’t have to worry about language barriers, which can cause difficulties when booking venues and vendors. As an English-speaking French photographer, I get to know each and every couple that I work with to ensure I am able to capture your love story and leave you with memories of your special day.
• Let your imagination run wild…: While it can be difficult to host a legal ceremony in France, you can easily host a symbolic ceremony which means you’ll have no restrictions when it comes to choosing the venue, vows and décor. It’s a chance for you to really let your imagination run wild and have the day of your dreams.
