Couples, Proposals, Family and Babymoon Photoshoots

As a prize-winning photographer, I am dedicated to documenting the authentic narrative of your love in the stunning backdrop of France’s Loire Valley.

Through my lens, I seek to reveal the unspoken strength of your bond, the intimacy shared in your glances, and the enduring tenderness that unites you. I provide expert, gentle guidance throughout your session, ensuring you can simply be yourselves; natural, connected, and completely trusting of the process.

This approach allows for the organic capture of raw emotions, shared bursts of laughter, and subtle gestures that narrate your unique history.

Whether it's for a secretly orchestrated surprise marriage proposal, where I can assist with seamless planning and expert guidance to ensure the moment is perfect, or simply to celebrate your relationship, I accompany you to romantic settings steeped in history.

Based in the heart of Amboise I offer vistas filled with romance: a hand-in-hand stroll through the historical cobblestone streets, an intimate escape into sun-drenched vineyards, or the magical atmosphere of Loire Valley Châteaux for a truly timeless moment.

I offer you timeless memories, images that will forever testify to the beauty of your commitment.
