Wedding photographers in Paris

—What should future newlyweds pay attention to when looking for a wedding photographer?

—They have to feel a connection with their photographer. He or she is the one who is close by all day and if you udon;t feel at ease, you probably won;t be yourself that day.

—How did you start working in the wedding photography field?

—I started as a publicity photographer and when I followed my boyfriend to the french country-side there were 6 hairdressers and 5 bakeries... So I had to think of something else because photography is my life, can;t do without! So then I decided to do weddings and since my work is not traditional wedding photography I quite quickly got new and young couples who didn;t mind me speaking lousy french :-)

—Who is the 21st century symbol to your mind?

—I don't know, that's hard to answer. Ever since I have moved to france I really found out that it's hard to be away from your roots. And that you find strenght in meeting other people and reading and opening your vision. So everybody I meet helps me to root myself over here :-) So let's say: every person I meet

—Is there anything in your work that you don't like or even hate?

—The wedding hangover, after a hard days work the day after ( and that is always a sunday) I am tired but I just climb behind my computer because I just have to see the things I made.... Part of loving what I do so that was the only thing I could think of
