Engagement session in Paris

An engagement session is where we learn to work together before the wedding. You see how we photograph — from a distance, with very little direction — and we learn how you move, how you laugh, what makes you comfortable in front of a lens.

In Paris that means a walk: the quays early in the morning, a cobbled courtyard still empty, a café where you actually sit down. What you get is not a set of poses but an hour of your life together, in a city that holds light beautifully.

How we shoot

Natural light, a documentary eye, and only the simplest prompts: walk, talk to each other, come back. No pose lists, no props. The framing is editorial and the grading restrained, faithful to the colour of the place and the hour.

We pick a short route together — two or three locations within walking distance — so no time is lost in transit and the session keeps its energy.

How the session runs

  1. Before

    A conversation about your story, the images you like and the time of day that suits you. We suggest a route and a start time based on the light.

  2. During

    Around ninety minutes on foot. We start slowly, until the camera is forgotten; the strongest frames almost always come after the first twenty minutes.

  3. After

    An edited selection, graded exactly like our wedding work, delivered in a private online gallery you can share and download.

Who it suits

Couples who say they are not photogenic and want that doubt gone before the wedding day. Couples planning from abroad who would rather meet us first. And anyone who simply wants good pictures of the two of you, without waiting for a celebration.

It also works as a pre-wedding session before a destination wedding: we meet in Paris, then photograph your wedding day elsewhere in France, Spain or Italy.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a Paris engagement session?
About ninety minutes on location — enough to cover two or three spots on foot without rushing and for the camera to stop being noticeable.
What is the best time of day?
Early morning and the final hour before sunset give the softest light and far quieter locations. We adapt the time to the season and to your schedule.
Should we bring several outfits?
One outfit you genuinely feel good in is enough. A second look is possible if the route allows a pause; we agree on it beforehand so the session stays simple.
Where does the session take place?
We choose the route together: quays and bridges, gardens, quieter neighbourhoods, or a place that means something to you. We also travel elsewhere in Île-de-France.
When do we receive the photographs?
We confirm the exact delivery time when you book; the selection is then delivered in a private online gallery.
Can it be added to wedding coverage?
Yes. Many couples combine both. We discuss it on the call and build the proposal around your wedding day.
