WHAT IS A FIRST LOOK ?

DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPEMENT ?

1. I frequently travel to Dallas and Austin.
2. I love traveling, discovering new places and being challenged.. I am available wherever you are getting married.
3. I am Parisian! Want to go to Paris for a session ? Let's do it, We will shoot for a day and I will be your guide!

Absolutely! If your venue requires me to send over my certificate of insurance I can happily provide it.

Most likely yes, when you reach out I will send you some wedding galleries so you have a good idea on how I photographed it.

The first look is when the couple sees each other before the ceremony.
That is always a very special moment to couple shares on the wedding day.
I love it because it creates such a wonderful dynamic for photos and a great layout to fully enjoying the wedding day...those little moments are treasures.

Bonjour, I am a French wedding photographer based in El Paso Texas since 2009.
The short answer is because I am passionate about freezing time and capture memories for the next generation.

What I love most is getting to know my couples and creating photographs that truly reflect them.

I would say my love for a beautiful composition and use of light.

From a recent google review I received, Paola wrote: His calm energy and confidence made everything feel easy and natural. I would say it is pretty accurate but I invite you to go read more reviews to get a good idea on how I make my couples feel comfortable.

Once you have set the ceremony time and reception time then we will have a video meeting and I will help you plan the times for getting ready, first look, family portraits etc ... I have photographed over 300 weddings and I pretty much know what a good timeline should look like in order to get the best wedding photos.

I do both.
Candid moments are essential to tell the story of your day, and I am discreet throughout, doing my best to capture them. However, when it comes to family photos or posed bridal portraits, I will gladly guide you.

I've got tools to totally tweak or boost the lighting in any situation, and I'm up to any challenge.
Making you look amazing is my main goal!

Generally YES, I have an assistant/second photographer.
Depending on the size of your wedding, I can definitely get another photographer to help.

Yes I do. These are so much fun and enjoy them because it allows me to be more creative.

I travel up to one hour from El Paso [driving] for no additional cost.

Yes, payment plans are available.
