Sessions start from €150 for a 30-minute mini session. Classic 1-hour sessions are €250 (50 edited photos). For full elopement days and destination wedding packages, visit the <a href="price-wedding-shooting-paris.html" style="color:var(--c-black);">pricing page</a> for a complete overview.

<div class="accordion-body">
I offer three main elopement formats: <strong>Elopement ceremonies</strong> (intimate vow exchange at an iconic Paris location), <strong>Engagement elopements</strong> (pre-wedding portraits with a romantic, editorial feel), and <strong>Intimate elopement photoshoots</strong> (just the two of you, without a ceremony). All are customizable.

How many locations can we visit in one session?
</button>
</h3>
<div id="faq3" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#faqAccordion">
<div class="accordion-body">
In a 1-hour session, we can comfortably cover 1–2 locations. I recommend at least 30 minutes per location for variety. For two locations (e.g., Eiffel Tower + Pont Alexandre III), plan for 1.5 hours of shooting time.

When is the best time of day for elopement photos in Paris?
</button>
</h3>
<div id="faq4" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#faqAccordion">
<div class="accordion-body">
Sunrise (6–8am) offers the softest light and the emptiest streets — perfect for an intimate, private atmosphere. Golden hour (1–2 hours before sunset) gives warm, cinematic tones. West-facing spots like the Louvre courtyard and Port Debilly are exceptional at sunset.

</h3>
<div id="faq5" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#faqAccordion">
<div class="accordion-body">
Light rain can add a beautifully romantic, reflective quality to Paris photos — bring a transparent umbrella for a classic Parisian touch. In case of heavy rain, we can move to sheltered locations like Palais Royal arcades, or reschedule subject to availability. Deposits are non-refundable but sessions are reschedulable.

</h3>
<div id="faq6" class="accordion-collapse collapse" data-bs-parent="#faqAccordion">
<div class="accordion-body">
Yes. <strong>Port Debilly</strong> (south-facing) is beautiful and much quieter than Trocadéro, especially at early morning. <strong>Champ de Mars</strong> (west-facing) is best at sunset but can be busy in summer. I can suggest several lesser-known vantage points based on your preferred atmosphere.

Missed time is deducted from the session. If I'm available after your original end time, you can extend at the additional-hour rate. I always build a small buffer into the schedule for exactly this reason.
