South of France wedding photography

Wedding Photography Pricing in France


Natural documentary coverage, polished portraits and calm guidance from an English-speaking photographer based in the South of France. Every collection includes careful planning and a complete, individually edited record of the day.

Choose how far into the day the story continues

You do not need to work out an arbitrary number of hours. The collections are based on recognisable parts of a wedding day: from preparations until dinner, through the first dance, or well into the party.

The right choice depends on your ceremony time, dinner and speech plans, and how much of the evening matters to you. Once I see your rough timings, I will tell you honestly which coverage fits and whether there is any part of the schedule that needs adjusting.

I take on a maximum of fifteen weddings each year and photograph every one myself.

What wedding photography pricing in France includes

Whichever collection you choose, the standard of photography, planning and editing is the same.

Planning help, including advice on the photography timetable and communication with your planner or venue when useful.

Photography by me throughout, with no associate photographer and no handover to someone you have not met.

Natural documentary coverage, efficiently organised family groups and short, lightly guided couple portraits.

A complete collection of individually edited photographs in colour and black and white.

A preview soon after the wedding and, for most weddings, the full gallery within around one month.

A private online gallery with high-resolution downloads, sharing tools and personal printing rights.

For a full wedding day, couples normally receive approximately 500 to 700 photographs. The exact number depends on the length of coverage, guest numbers and what happens during the day. Every delivered photograph is edited by me.

If you would like to see how the coverage holds together from preparations to the evening, ask me for a complete gallery from a wedding with a similar timetable or venue.

Investment

Collections begin at €2,250

Most couples choosing coverage through the first dance or into the party invest between €2,750 and €3,050.

Once I know your ceremony time and the shape of the day, I will send the full collection guide and recommend the coverage that makes sense. Any travel costs or additional coverage will be stated clearly before you book.

Photographs without losing the wedding

Most of the day is photographed as it naturally unfolds. I do not stop real moments and recreate them for the camera. When direction will help, particularly for family groups and portraits, I step in clearly and work quickly.

Couple portraits usually take five to fifteen minutes at a time. If the light becomes especially beautiful later, I may suggest another short walk. You get strong portraits that use the setting properly without disappearing from your own celebration for an hour.

You can read more about my background and the way I work, or see the balance of documentary moments and portraiture in my wedding photography portfolio.

Additional coverage and smaller weddings

Some celebrations need something outside the usual wedding-day coverage. I keep those options simple and quote any travel costs clearly before you book.

Additional hour

Available separately

Add an hour when the schedule or evening plans extend beyond your chosen collection.

Welcome or pool party

Available separately

Two hours of relaxed coverage for a gathering on the day before or after the wedding.

Shorter celebrations

By quotation

Shorter coverage may be available for local weekday weddings, intimate celebrations and elopements.

For a smaller celebration, see my pages for intimate weddings in France and elopement photography. Signature Books, professional prints and other album options are also available separately.

How booking works

Choose the coverage

I will confirm availability, answer your questions and recommend the collection that fits your plans.

Secure the date

A signed contract and €750 booking payment secure your wedding date. Dates cannot be held without both.

Frequently asked questions

How much should we budget for wedding photography?

Collections begin at €2,250. Most couples who want coverage through the speeches, first dance or into the party invest between €2,750 and €3,050. I will send the full collection guide after you enquire.

How much coverage should we choose?

That depends on your ceremony time and which parts of the day matter most to you. If speeches and the main evening formalities are important, coverage through the first dance usually makes sense. If you want the party to form a proper part of the finished story, choose later coverage.

Do you photograph the wedding yourself?

Yes. I photograph every wedding myself and work alone, which keeps the coverage discreet. I do not send an associate photographer in my place.

Are the photographs supplied in high resolution?

Yes. Your private gallery includes high-resolution files for downloading and printing, as well as convenient web-sized versions for sharing.

How soon will we receive the photographs?

I send a preview soon after the wedding. Most complete galleries are delivered within around one month.

Can we see a complete wedding before booking?

Yes. I will show you a full gallery from a relevant wedding so you can judge the preparations, ceremony, guests, groups, portraits, speeches and evening work together.

Where do you work?

I am based near Pézenas in Hérault and regularly photograph weddings across Occitanie and Provence. Weddings elsewhere in the South of France are welcome, with any travel costs stated clearly in your proposal.

Tell me what you are planning

Send me your date, venue and a rough idea of the day. I will confirm whether I am available, suggest the coverage that makes sense and show you a complete gallery from a relevant wedding.
