When choosing a wedding photographer or videographer, most couples focus on style, portfolio, and budget. And honestly, those are all valid criteria. But there’s one question people often forget to ask themselves, even though it changes everything, both on the wedding day and long after:

Do I genuinely feel good around these people?

Because a wedding photographer and videographer doesn’t just show up in the morning and leave at night with a memory card full of files. They step into your bubble for 12 hours. They see you stressed, crying, laughing, dancing. They know the story of your relationship before they’ve even pressed the shutter once. And months later, they hand over something you’ll keep looking at for the rest of your life.

That relationship starts long before the wedding day itself.

What that actually looks like to have a photographer you can trust

As soon as you reach out to us, we schedule a discovery video call, not to “sell” ourselves, but to genuinely get to know you. If we decide to move forward together, we create a WhatsApp group so communication stays easy, quick, and nothing gets lost in endless email threads.

We send you our wedding guide, a real printed magazine filled with our favorite images and practical advice to help your day flow as smoothly as possible. We do an engagement session together. And as the wedding gets closer, we schedule another video call to go through absolutely everything.

In between all of that, we stay available whenever you need us. Some couples barely message us. Others message us a lot. We adapt. Some people call us their Panic Buddies, and that’s a huge compliment.

When Marine & Brian found out their venue had burned down

We discovered it the same way everyone else did: scrolling through social media. Including the couple themselves, actually.

There’s something incredibly brutal about learning, mid-scroll, that the place where you were supposed to get married in six months no longer exists.

We didn’t wait for them to contact us. We reached out immediately. Not to talk logistics. Not to check whether our services were still happening. Just to ask how they were doing. To tell them we were thinking about them, that we were there for them, and that if dates had to change, we’d do everything we could to adapt, so they wouldn’t have to worry about us on top of everything else.

That’s not written in our contract. It’s simply what we do, because we genuinely care about our couples.

Cindy & Xavier, From Chamonix to Paris

A few months after their wedding, we checked in on them. Here’s what they replied:

“We hope you’re both doing well ☺️ We’ve been thinking about your proposal, but before that we might want to prioritize a little bumpy belly session with you… We’re expecting a little baby due in early June. We wanted to share this beautiful news with you, a continuation of the incredible wedding we had in March, a wedding we still receive so many compliments about, and that we’re so happy to have immortalized through your eye and your talent. Thank you again so, so much 🤍”

— Cindy & Xavier

We said yes immediately. And we went to Paris.

Because that’s where Cindy and Xavier met. Where their story began. Where some of their strongest memories as a couple still live. But since then, life has evolved: they bought a house in the suburbs to welcome their baby, a new chapter, a different kind of grounding, calmer and more family-oriented.

Doing the session in Paris felt completely obvious. It honored who they had been as a couple before becoming parents. The city became the backdrop of their “before,” while her growing belly symbolized their “after.” There was something deeply moving about witnessing that transition.

That day wasn’t simply a maternity session.

It was a page turning in their story.

And when Cindy received her gallery, this was her immediate reaction:

“We’re always so hard on ourselves, but somehow you always manage to capture photos I absolutely love. Choosing the little birthday surprise for Xav is going to be impossible.”

That message says something important. It’s not just that they loved the photos. It’s that during a new chapter of their lives, they naturally turned back to us.

Because we already knew them. Because they already knew how we work, how we help people feel comfortable, how we look for what’s real instead of what’s perfect.

That’s what a lasting relationship looks like.

One Year Later, A Message We’ll Never Forget

Some messages stay with you forever.

Like this one, received a full year after a wedding, when the couple finally took the time to watch all the footage Stéphane had delivered:

“It was beautiful. I cried, I laughed, and it feels so special to relive those memories. Thank you.”

That’s why we do this job.

Your Memories Stay Accessible, For Years

We keep your images safely archived for several years. And before deleting anything, we always contact our couples first to give them the opportunity to retrieve their files or order something new, a reel, a longer edit of the ceremony, the full first dance.

Some couples come back two years after their wedding for that. Honestly, it’s one of the things we’re proudest of.

What Fanny & Max Said

“Always available, even on December 23rd to help us find a DJ. Always thoughtful, attentive, and full of great advice. During the engagement session, in the middle of a stunning landscape, it genuinely felt like hanging out with friends. And on the wedding day, they were absolutely wonderful with us and our loved ones.”

If reading these lines makes you feel like our way of working resonates with you, we’d genuinely love to hear your story.
