FAQ

I love « stolen photos », spontaneous ones, those where people do not know they are being photographed. I try to be as discreet as possible for these precious moments.

But…
I take photos of what is happening, and I will not lie to you: if nothing special happens, you will not get « special » photos. Try to make your day unique, with « details », as the lights which create the atmosphere of your party. But over everything, your guests are the ones who will make each moment « photo interesting », It does not mean being clowns all day long!! But they have to be be implied in the most beautiful day of your life by a sincere involvement, friendly, sincerely, with good mood or contemplation, in  laughs or furtive tears.

It depends. It depends on the « moments » of your wedding, your choice of « art photos », « staged photos », « groups », etc. Till now, I have never delivered less than 350 photos, and the maximum was 850 photos for a 2 days wedding.

Of course I appreciate if I get the same meal as your guest, but it is not necessary because I will eat it cold most of the time.
Most catering companies offer very good cold meal trays. I will be able to have my meal without depending on the rythme of a wedding meal which not very compatible with photography.
But having a table alone or with other contractors is nearly a must, and if possible in the same room as the couple to avoid missing important moments.
