WHAT MAKES AMOUR IS FRENCH PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFERENT?
Amour is French wedding photography blends documentary honesty with an editorial, cinematic finish. Every wedding I shoot follows two threads at once, candid and considered, so the final images feel both true and beautiful.
documentary for candid
guiding for editorial
I stay close and quiet through the unscripted moments, the ones you won't think to plan. When it's time for portraits, I step in gently to guide you, so the images feel intentional without losing what's genuine.
Film-Inspired Editing for a Timeless Feeling
My editing draws from cinema, tonal, warm, and unhurried. I want your photos to feel like they could belong to any era, so they age with you rather than dating the day.

Located in Cleveland, available to travel anywhere
I'm a Cleveland wedding photographer blending documentary observation with an editorial eye inspired by European fashion and cinema.
Originally from France, I've lived half my life abroad, and I share that love of travel with my couples, going wherever your wedding takes you.
Beyond documenting your day, I curate how it will be remembered for generations. With a heart-led, documentary approach, I create a calm, comfortable space where genuine emotions unfold naturally, so you can be fully present while I turn fleeting moments into your lasting legacy.
For seven years, I've photographed over 100 weddings, trained by Monika Frias and Frederic Bouvet, with work published in Arizona Bride, Elle, and Paris Match, and 5 five-star reviews from the couples I've worked with.

From the moment you inquire, my role extends far beyond taking beautiful photographs.
Together we'll create a thoughtful timeline, plan family portraits, discuss what matters most to you, and collaborate with your planner and vendor team so your day unfolds with intention. On the wedding day, I'll know when to observe quietly and when to gently step in with guidance, allowing you to stay fully present while trusting that every meaningful moment is being documented.

More than okay actually, it’s incredibly common. In fact, almost every couple tells me this before we meet.
My approach is rooted in connection, not performance. Rather than asking you to hold uncomfortable poses, I gently guide you into natural movement and real moments together. The result is imagery that feels effortless, elegant, and unmistakably you.

The most meaningful moments rarely happen on a schedule.
They're found in the quiet anticipation while getting ready, the tears before the ceremony, the laughter shared over dinner, and the joy that fills the dance floor long after sunset. Full-day coverage allows your story to unfold naturally, without watching the clock or wondering whether the next unforgettable moment falls outside your coverage.
Your wedding deserves to be remembered as a complete story, not a collection of hours.
-
Your memories deserve to be relived while they still feel wonderfully fresh.
Your complete gallery is delivered in approximately 4 weeks, film collections in 8 weeks, allowing you to revisit your celebration, share it with loved ones, and begin designing your heirloom album without months of waiting.

Once you've decided we're the right fit, reserving your wedding date is beautifully simple.
A signed agreement and retainer officially secure your date on my calendar. From there, I'll guide you through every step of the journey, so when your wedding day arrives, you can simply be present and celebrate with the people you love most.
