Claire & Cyril · wedding photographers in duo
Wedding photographer in Touraine
A sincere and discreet report, in duo, with displayed prices and no surprises. Because flowers wilt, the dress is stored away, guests go home: only your photos remain.
Our conviction
The only memory that remains, with your wedding rings
Authenticity, sensitivity, and timelessness
The photographer is often one of the last service providers chosen. Yet, they are the only one, along with your wedding rings, that will leave you with a physical memory.
Flowers wilt, the dress is stored or resold, the venue and decorations disappear the next day. Your photos, however, are passed down: to your children, then to their children.
Two perspectives to miss nothing
Claire captures emotions, glances, and details. With 17 years of experience with little ones, she knows how to make room for your children, grandchildren and young attendants, and how to put the shyest at ease, young and old alike.
Cyril, certified drone pilot, provides a second perspective and aerial views of your venue and guests, taken from a distance, without ever flying over them. The drone is included in all our offers whenever flying is permitted.
A family wedding
Your children are part of the story
Children, grandchildren, blended families
Many couples today marry surrounded by their children, sometimes their grandchildren, or within a blended family. These moments matter as much as the exchange of rings.
We photograph them with patience and naturalness, without forcing smiles. A tired two-year-old or a teenager who hates photos doesn't scare us.
A well-prepared day, a truly lived ceremony
Guides born from experience
After booking, we send you our preparation guides. They don't come from a manual: they come from all the weddings we have experienced, the magical moments as well as the little hiccups. A delay that eats into the couple session, a forgotten list of group photos, harsh midday light… We help you anticipate them, for a more serene day.
Three plans for your day
We prepare three scenarios with you: plan A, the one you have planned, plan B in case of rain and plan C in case of a heatwave. Whatever the weather, every moment already has its solution, and you can enjoy your day stress-free.
A posing guide just for you
Feeling "not photogenic" often simply means not knowing what to do in front of the camera. Before the wedding, you send us screenshots of couple photos you love, and of those you don't. We then create a personalised posing guide, printed on cards. On the day, we look at the idea together and try it in good spirits: quick, natural, never stiff.
The unplugged ceremony
We suggest inviting your guests to put their phones away during the ceremony. No more screens between you and your loved ones: truly present faces, and photos without raised arms or smartphones in the aisle.
Your guests know they'll get the photos: once the gallery is online, they download them through a special guest QR code. You choose whether to share it or not, on a sign at the entrance, in your wedding newsletter or on your thank-you cards.
True storytelling
Details, the memories we forget
A coherent story, from the first to the last detail
We don't just take a series of pretty pictures: we tell the story of your day, with an overall coherence, from the first look to the last dance.
And we love details. The invitation, the rings, the bouquet, the seating plan, the little touches prepared for months… On the day, you won't have time to see it all, and over the years, they fade from memory. These images bring back everything you imagined and created with so much care.

Transparent pricing
Your price is simply the sum of the moments you choose: no hidden fees. Each option corresponds to a continuous presence time. If your schedule includes waiting time between two moments, it is counted as an additional hour. We help you plan your day to avoid it.
Behind these prices there is much more than the day itself: for a wedding with 10 hours on site, we devote around 45 to 50 hours to your project, from preparation to delivery. Meetings, personalised posing guide, selecting and editing each image one by one, and putting your gallery online, with every photo delivered in colour and black and white.

Our approach, the basic offer, every à la carte option, a few example days and the steps to book your date: everything you need in our wedding brochure (in French), to read together at your own pace.
How to book your wedding date?
1. Choosing the date. We discuss it together during a first appointment and check our availability.
2. Your details. You send us your information so we can prepare your file.
3. Accepting the quote. You receive your quote by email and accept it online, in one click.
4. Signing the contract. Take the time to read it to the end: the last box lets you choose whether or not some of your photos may be shared on our website and social media. It's your choice, and it is always respected.
5. Paying the 30% deposit. This is what finally secures your date. For weddings, we prefer payment by bank transfer.

Frequently asked questions about our wedding report
How far in advance should you book your wedding photographer?
Ideally 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for Saturdays from May to September. We only photograph a limited number of weddings per year. Is your wedding coming up soon? Contact us anyway, we often still have a few dates available.
We're not photogenic and don't like stiff poses, how do you work?
Together we prepare a personalised posing guide, based on the couple photos you love and those you don't. On the day, it's quick, in good spirits, and never stiff.
What if it rains or it's too hot on our wedding day?
We always work with three plans prepared together beforehand: plan A, the one you have planned, plan B in case of rain and plan C in case of a heatwave. Whatever the weather, your couple and group photos already have their solution.
Can our children be in our couple photos?
Of course. We always plan a family moment, adapted to the age of your children or grandchildren, so that everyone keeps a memory of the day.
Do you photograph second marriages and blended families?
Yes. We prepare the list of group photos together so that everyone finds their place, with tact, without anyone forgotten or any awkwardness.
Are the photos delivered in colour and in black and white?
Yes, always. All your wedding photos are delivered in colour and in black and white.
How much work goes into a wedding coverage?
For a wedding with 10 hours on site, we devote around 45 to 50 hours to your project, from preparation to delivery: meetings, posing guide, selecting and editing each image one by one, and putting your gallery online.
Is the drone really included?
Yes, it is included in all our offers whenever flying is permitted. Cyril is a certified pilot and takes care of the paperwork when required by the venue. The drone flies from a distance, without ever flying over your guests, in accordance with regulations.
Where do you travel to?
Throughout Touraine (Tours, Loches, Amboise, Chinon, Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine…) and the neighbouring departments: Indre, Loir-et-Cher and Vienne. Travel is included up to 50 km from Varennes (37600), then charged at €0.50/km.
Can we choose only a few moments of the day?
Absolutely. The basic offer at €490 can be supplemented with only the moments that matter to you, for example, just the town hall and the cocktail.
Can we receive photos quickly after the wedding?
Yes, with the express delivery option within 48 hours, ideal for quickly sharing some images with your loved ones.
How can our guests get the photos?
We provide a special guest QR code: once the gallery is online, your guests can download the photos. You choose whether to share it or not, on a sign, in your wedding newsletter or on your thank-you cards.
What is an unplugged ceremony?
It is a ceremony during which guests put their phones away to fully experience the moment. Thanks to the guest QR code, they know they'll get the photos afterwards: no more screens in the aisle, only present faces.
