What my clients tell about me?
Irina & Remy
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Eugenie as our elopement photographer! From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive and supportive during the preparation process, helping us choose the perfect outfits, flowers, accessories, and even the location. It felt like she was truly on our side, making sure everything was just right.
On the day of the shoot at Château de Cénevières, Eugenie went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera, guiding us with posing tips for both photos and videos. The results were stunning — the photos captured our love and the beauty of the moment, while the videos were simply breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Eugenie for anyone looking to make their elopement truly unforgettable!
