Prices and services for wedding photographer/videographer

Probably yes. We like to say that we will travel the world for our couples. And up until today we never said no to a wedding just because of the place. We like to discover at each wedding the place that you cherish.

So that you are not too afraid of travelling fees, our quotes always take those into account. We figure out precisely how much our travel will cost once we know the exact place. We always go for the solution that will be cheaper for you. You can find here maximum prices for our travel fees. Depending on your wedding exact date and place, they can be much cheaper. And they are in most cases ! Never hesitate to contact us to know exactly how much having us with you would cost.

Travelling fees packages (France, when we can travel by car) :

• Zone 1 = 300 euros maximum. For weddings in Normandie
• Zone 2 = 500 euros maximum. For weddings in neighbour regions from Normandie (Bretagne, Pays-de-la-Loire, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Ile-de-France, Hauts-de-France) and for Occitanie
• Zone 3 = 800 euros maximum. Simply other regions. So Nouvelle-Aquitaine, PACA, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté et Grand Est

Weddings in other places

• You are getting married in a neighbouring country (Belgique, Luxembourg, Allemagne, Suisse, Italie, Espagne) ? If this is the case we will go by car and figure out how much this will cost us. You can chose another transport method if you think it will cost less, but in that case you will have to arrange this yourself.
• You are getting married in Corsica, in the DOM-TOM or in countries that require we take a ferry or plane ? You will have to be in charge of our travel and accommodation.

The sooner the better ! Having to say no to couples because we are not available makes us sad. We don’t want that to happen to you !

We have a schedule for bookings (see the budget question above). But whatever your budget, if you like what we do, contact us as soon as you can to talk about you and your wedding ! If it’s too early, we will let you know when to get in touch. And we can keep your request on hold. That means you will have an option on the date. An option means you get priority for a week when bookings will be open. And if another couple contact us in the meantime for something that they can already book, you will be given a chance to upgrade to make sure you have us with you.

So to sum up:

Let’s say you need us for 10 hours in November 2023, and don’t need the full day package. If you contact us know, it’s too early. You can only book for full day, but not for 10 hours. If we get along during the call, we can put an option for you on your date. You will get priority in November 2022 to confirm your booking.

Let’s say another couple contact us next month for your date. We will see that you have an option, and will be in touch with you to let you know. You will then be given a choice : upgrading to the full day package, that way you make sure we are here to tell your story (and we’ll be there for a longer time), or staying on hold. If you chose to stay on hold, and if the other couple books us, we will let you know and give you a couple of names we trust that can take care of you. And it the other couple doesn’t sign, you stay on hold until first week of November 2022.

No ! We are sorry but you won’t see everything. Do you really want to see a picture of the floor that the camera took by itself ? Or 20 pictures almost identical from the same moment (one of which makes you look really bad as you were speaking or closing your eyes) ? I highly doubt that. Trust us regarding selection. We promise we will deliver plenty of memories from the day.

The exact number depends on how much we stay with you and what happens. We usually deliver a minimum of 30 pictures per hour (average on the number of hours we will be here). You will get plenty of enough to relive the day through great artistic views.

Quality is something we don’t want to leave aside. So we have to select.

You will get them as digital files optimised for web use. That means it can get downloaded on a phone or displayed on a computer or TV screen. You will get to download your pictures, then your guests will get access to it as well.

Trust us with printing you images

You don’t have to get prints. Of course we offer a lot of wedding prints or books So you can trust us with printing them for you. We try different print suppliers on a regular basis. Our criteria are of course quality, but also local and ethical. We work with two french suppliers at the moment. One makes our books, leaflets, thank you cards and print packages, the other one makes our individual prints and larger prints. We are perfectly happy with their quality, and other suppliers didn’t convince us.

Print your pictures yourself

If you want to print yourself, you can ask for the dedicated files from us. Just know that we won’t send you the full reportage in this format No one prints absolutely all of their wedding pictures. And transferring such large files costs energy. We want to limit our impact on the planet. So we can send those files to you if you want to print yourself. We just ask you to be reasonable and only ask for a maximum of 10 files. And of course, if you print yourself, we won’t be responsible in any way if the quality is not what you wanted.

No ! And I don’t wish you to. Not everything we film is usefull. Video is not as reactive as photography. It has to record 25 images per second, plus the sound ! So it takes a few seconds to start recording when I press the record button. Plus movements need to be well made for the video to be nice to watch. If you already watched an old holiday film you probably know what I mean.

What does that has to do with not showing you everyting ? It’s simple, we often film in advace because we think something might happen and we don’t want to miss it. So for every perfect shot, there is at least a few seconds of random shot that is completely useless. Can you imagine hearing “action” and “stop” over and over while watching a movie ? It’s king of the same thing when I watch everything I filmed and do what’s called “editing”. Believe me, you don’t want to do that yourself.

Quality of a video goes with selecting and editing.

We refuse to make consessions on quality. So you will have to accept that you won’t see everything.

But we will discuss about what your expectations are regarding your wedding videos. We will select what episodes you want. A short episode centered on your couple is always included. And we imagined lots of other episodes you can add. You will surely find what you need. And if not, we will create a special episode just for you.

If you have more than 100 guests, we will be two. We know that the more people are here, the more we need to run everywhere to get a maximum of moments.

If you want both photos and videos, whatever the number of guests, we will also both be with you. Because if we are both able to do photo or video, one of us can’t do both in the same time. In this case, Xavier takes the pictures, and Elvire is filming.

If you have less than 100 guests and don’t want both photo and video, you can chose between having us both or just one. Chosing to have only one of us is usually because of a small budget. But if you are on a tight budget and ask for only one of us, don’t worry, if you have less than 100 guests there is no problem in having only one of us.

One or two photographers/videographers, what’s the difference ?

The pros to have both of us ? You will be with a couple wich will get you to relax more easily. You will also be able to get ready in the same time, as we will be able to separate to accompany both of you simultaneously. And to finish, if there are two photographers, one can look for more creative images while the other one gets the safe shots.

You only need to pay 30% to book us.

Payment plan

Different payment plans are available. You can chose to pay for the full bill ‘(70%) on the month of your wedding. You can also split the payment in parts. 40% then 30% , or twice 20% then 30%. You decide when the bills are sent.

The only thing is it’s better to have the full bill paid before the wedding day. We don’t like having to ask for money on a wedding day. And we won’t start working on your images before we have the full payment. Thant means if you pay after the wedding you will have to wait for a longer time for your pictures and/or videos;

Get our service on the wedding list.

You can add part of your bill on your wedding list. In this case, you pay for the deposit, then we create a jackpot for you. There won’t be any fees for the jackpot. We can devide on a maximum or let it run free. You will then receive a link that you can share with your guests or put on your wedding list. Your guests will be able to pay directly the amount they want towards this gift. You will get a message for each participation. All money collected will be taken off your final bill. And if it goes over the final bill, you’ll get to have options !

You might have noticed I love to write. If you like what I write, I could write your own wedding story ! There are two options for that. First one is a small option you can add to photo or video for 300 euros: wedding story. Same principle as the wedding stories on the blog, I will tell your wedding day as I lived it. You can chose to keep my words for yourself or let me publish it. You’ll get a 100 euros discount if you agree for publication.

How about a wedding novel ?

This is only available in french unfortunately. But if you understand french, there is no problem at all ! This package include :

• 1 photo + video engagement session in France
• At least 6 meetings with you or closed relatives before the wedding
• At least one meeting with the couple 1 month after the wedding
• Two photographers/videographers for 3 consecutives days including wedding day.
• 600 images on a private gallery.
• 200 euros worth of prints.
• 4 video episodes, on a private link.
• your wedding novel, digital and paper, including the story of your wedding, but also the story of your couple and anecdotes told by you closed ones during meetings and wedding day.

It requires a strong connection to the couple and a large amount of time on our side. This is why we can only offer one per year. Price is of course on line with the content. If you want this, it will cost you 10000 euros. But if this makes you dream, why don’t you put it on your wedding list ?
