What my clients say about me?
Anna & Daniil
I had a really great experience with Eugenie. She is a true professional in her field. The moment we started our collaboration, she shared all the necessary details and asked my preferences and ideas. On the wedding day, she ensured that everything we discussed was implemented. She is a very attentive and easygoing person who goes above and beyond when it comes to client’s happiness. Believe me, you will have an amazing experience with her, just like we did. She captured beautiful moments on our wedding day which made it so special!
Thank you so much, Eugenie!
Bethany & David
Eugenie captured our wedding in the south of France this august, she was so helpful on the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself, she was fantastic. She is professional and friendly. The photographs we have received are gorgeous and we would highly recommend the wonderful Eugenie. Thank you again!
Bernadette & Antoine
We called on Eugénie to take photos of our family wedding, the service covered from the ceremony at the town hall to the arrival of the guests at the dinner venue. Very well organized, we were able to discuss the progress of the day in advance with great ease and, on the big day, she even arrived early despite the distance! It was a great experience, she was able to take magnificent photos with a very beautiful artistic touch. She knew how to play on two fronts, on the one hand discretion during the ceremony to let the event unfold and on the other hand a more significant presence with superb scene ideas during the photo shoot. We recommend this Photographer without hesitation, thanks to her, we will remember this event all our lives. Thank you very much Eugenie!

F A Q
Thank you for your questions
I will be happy to be your photographer on D-day
Will we meet in advance?
Of course! It is really important for me to discuss all the details in advance and be prepared. We can arrange video call or meet in person (if possible). Ideally to check the location.
How much is the deposit?
To book your wedding date you need to pay 20% of total amount (for all wedding packages), and the remaining balance is due one week before the wedding day. I accept bank transfers, cheques (french banks), credit cards or cash.
How long it will take before the photos are ready?
First several photos you will get 2-3 days after the session. Usually it takes 3-4 weeks off-season. During summer season it can take 6-8 weeks.
Do you do destination weddings?
Definitely yes! I would like to travel and make this day special for you. And I take my responsibilities really serious. Usually I arrive at the location in advance to take a look and figure out best angles for the photos
We do not know how to pose. Will you help us?
Mostly I work with not professional models, so do not worry I will do everything to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Also I recommend to organise Engagement session before the wedding day. So we can know each other better and you make sure it is comfortable for you to work with me.
