France Weddings

2026-2027

Hi! — I'm Emma. 


I'm a French-Australian wedding photographer blending digital and 35 mm film.

My work lives somewhere between creating nostalgic imagery & documentary grit: equal parts art and emotion.


I’ve been photographing weddings and portraits for over a decade, across France, Australia, & Morocco. I currently call France my home, and although English is my mother-tongue, I'm perfectly fluent in French. Vous pouvez donc me parler dans les deux langues !

I don’t shoot “perfect.” I shoot real: smoke breaks, stolen glances, spilled champagne, your grandma dabbing her tears on a napkin... the kind of moments that make your heart flutter when you look back at them years later.

Their Kind Words

Joyce & Arnout

“We looked at the photos and felt the day all over again: the softness, the emotion, the laughter, the intimacy. You didn’t just photograph a moment; you held it for us. And that means more than we can express. These are memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for being such a calming, gentle presence on a day that was so personal and emotional for us. It felt natural with you, and we’re so grateful for that.”

Real wedding photos for couples that want cinematic & authentic imagery.


Your day isn’t a performance, and your photos shouldn’t feel like one. I document weddings the way they’re actually lived, with all its quirks, funny & tender moments. The moments you'll want captured & saved decades from now.

If you’re here for photos that look like how your memories felt, you’re in the right place.


Working with me feels like a creative collaboration: equal parts high energy and also calm. Sometimes I disappear into the crowd; sometimes I’m fixing a veil or passing you a drink. Photos are edited true to tone with a hint of vintage soul. Also, I don’t reshape bodies or realities. (You) & your day are already perfect, as is.


Love is love


Every couple deserves to feel completely themselves, unapologetically. Beauty exists in every body, every skin tone, every story, every couple.

How does every wedding gallery feel personal?


It's so simple - I treat each wedding day to be documented in a cinematic, authentic way that will be true to your lived memories, 50 years later, not some portfolio/Pinterest checklist.

I capture each day with all its quirks, hilarious & tender moments. it’s to document you and your people exactly as you lived it, because that’s what actually matters when you look back.

You get photos that are both beautiful and true. Aesthetic and authenticity aren’t opposites. You deserve both.

Film Photography - +150€


Film photography has a unique, timeless magic, giving your photos the same nostalgic feel as your childhood memories. I use a mix of cameras for refined portraits and candid moments, capturing the energy of your day. Your film is developed by a professional lab, then personally digitised so you receive both film and digital photos in your gallery. One roll produces 10–36 photos. €150 per roll or €350 for three rolls.

A Second Photographer - 1500€


A second photographer ensures no moment is missed, especially at larger weddings where multiple events happen simultaneously. While I focus on key moments—your vows, first dance, and portraits—my second shooter captures the guest reactions, behind-the-scenes emotions, and all the little details you might not see on the day.

It also means full coverage of both partners getting ready, different angles during key moments, and a more relaxed experience overall, knowing everything is being documented seamlessly. Ideal for weddings with over 100 guests or for couples who want every moment, big and small, beautifully captured.
