Entrust your story to a Paris wedding photographer with a chic, editorial style
I am Séverine, a wedding photographer based in Paris.
Passionate about my work, I capture the most precious moments of your day with sensitivity and elegance.
Your wedding is a unique moment, filled with emotion, laughter and togetherness. I freeze these precious moments in time with a style that is natural, elegant and artistic.
My approach is similar to that of a reporter: I tell the story of your day through authentic images that reflect your history, your expressions and your emotions.
Paris and its iconic landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and the banks of the Seine, offer a magical backdrop for your wedding photos. Whether you choose an intimate ceremony or a large celebration, I will accompany you to create timeless memories that you can relive every time you look at them.
My goal is simple: to offer you sincere, luminous and vibrant images that tell your story with authenticity.
My style and perspective as a Paris wedding photographer
My role as a Paris wedding photographer is to tell your story in pictures without disrupting your day. I prefer to be discreet and attentive, allowing you to enjoy every moment to the fullest. I provide guidance when necessary, while letting spontaneity shine through.
Capturing the essentials with modernity
Every detail counts: a glance, a smile, a tender gesture. I capture these genuine, fleeting moments that make up the beauty of a Parisian wedding reportage, with a modern and luminous aesthetic.
Reassuring support from the first contact to the big day
Before your wedding in Paris or Île-de-France, we will work together to define your desires and vision. This preparation allows me to create a natural, harmonious wedding reportage tailored to your story.
A poetic, editorial and luminous style
My style as a Paris wedding photographer is characterized by a poetic, gentle, fine-art aesthetic. I use natural light to delicately enhance emotions, gestures and details.
A fine-art aesthetic
Inspired by editorial style, my photography is characterized by soft tones, careful compositions and elegant natural light. Each image is conceived as a work of art.
The elegance of details
The dancing veil, a delicately placed bouquet, the glow of a candle, an exchanged glance… These details subtly tell your story. I capture them with as much attention as the highlights of your wedding.
ABOUT ME
Every couple is unique, every story different. I take the time to get to know you, to listen to your expectations, to imagine a wedding reportage in Paris that reflects who you are and captures the essence of your union.
Discretion and subtle presence
My approach is based on sensitivity: being present without ever imposing, guiding without constraining, observing without interrupting. You live your day to the fullest, while I weave the story together in images.
Wedding photography in Paris and Île-de-France
Paris is an iconic city for celebrating a wedding: its bridges, its banks of the Seine, its gardens, its mansions. I photograph weddings in Paris and throughout the Île-de-France region, in castles, estates and other exceptional venues.
Elegant weddings in the heart of the capital
Whether you celebrate your union in a hotel, town hall, church or Parisian rooftop, I create bright, elegant and emotional images.
Couple photos in iconic locations in Paris
The Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Palais Royal, Montmartre, the banks of the Seine… I will accompany you to places that suit you, to immortalize your bond in a chic and authentic setting.
Reportages from the castles of Île-de-France
I also cover many weddings in castles near Paris. These refined settings offer the ideal atmosphere for editorial photos that are soft and timeless.
Albums and memories of your wedding in Paris
In addition to the digital gallery, I offer high-end albums and fine art prints to enhance your images. Your memories become precious objects to pass on and relive over the years.
Durable and stylish albums
Each album is crafted from refined materials: leather, linen, velvet, art paper. A timeless showcase for the story of your union. Each photograph becomes a faithful witness to your emotions, a fragment of memory that you can relive, share and pass on.
Exceptional prints
Fine art prints offer unparalleled depth and finesse. They transform your wedding photos into true works of art.
