Connaissez-vous les contraintes des mariages en mairie à Paris ?

Oui. Les mariages civils à Paris sont souvent très cadrés, avec des horaires précis et peu de marge de manœuvre. J’ai l’habitude de travailler dans les mairies parisiennes et je sais me faire discret tout en capturant les moments clés : entrée, échanges de regards, signatures et sortie des mariés.

Peut-on faire des photos à l’intérieur des mairies parisiennes ?

Cela dépend de la mairie et du personnel présent le jour J. Certaines autorisent les photos librement, d’autres imposent des restrictions. Je m’adapte toujours aux consignes données sur place, sans perturber la cérémonie, afin de respecter le cadre officiel tout en conservant des souvenirs forts.

Comment gérez-vous la circulation et les déplacements à Paris ?

Paris demande une vraie anticipation. Je prépare toujours mes déplacements à l’avance en tenant compte du quartier, de l’horaire et des éventuelles difficultés de circulation. Mon objectif est d’être toujours en avance, pour travailler sereinement et sans stress, notamment lors des mariages avec plusieurs lieux.

Faut-il des autorisations pour faire des photos de couple dans Paris ?

Pour une séance photo de couple rapide et discrète dans l’espace public, aucune autorisation spécifique n’est généralement nécessaire. En revanche, certains lieux emblématiques, jardins ou espaces privés peuvent exiger une autorisation préalable. Je vous conseille toujours en amont pour éviter toute mauvaise surprise.

Combien de temps prévoir pour les photos de couple à Paris ?

À Paris, je privilégie l’efficacité. Inutile de multiplier les lieux : 20 à 30 minutes bien organisées suffisent souvent pour obtenir de très belles images, sans alourdir votre planning. Je m’adapte à votre journée pour que la séance reste fluide et agréable.

Peut-on faire des photos malgré la foule et les touristes ?

Oui, c’est tout à fait possible. Grâce à mon expérience de photographe de mariage à Paris, je sais composer avec l’environnement, choisir les bons angles et les bons moments. La foule fait parfois partie de l’histoire parisienne, et elle peut même apporter une vraie énergie aux images.

Travaillez-vous uniquement à Paris ou aussi en Île-de-France ?

Je photographie des mariages à Paris mais aussi dans toute l’Île-de-France. Beaucoup de couples choisissent une cérémonie civile à Paris puis une réception en dehors de la capitale. Je m’adapte parfaitement à ce type d’organisation hybride.

Que se passe-t-il en cas d’imprévu le jour du mariage ?

Les imprévus font partie de la vie d’un mariage, encore plus à Paris. Mon rôle est justement de m’adapter rapidement, de rester calme et de trouver des solutions, sans que cela impacte votre expérience ou la qualité de votre reportage photo.

Wedding photographer in Paris

Being a wedding photographer in Paris means telling love stories in one of the most iconic settings in the world. I am Julien Boyer, a professional wedding photographer, and I work with couples who want elegant, natural, and timeless images in the heart of the capital. My goal is simple: to capture the emotion of your day authentically, while allowing you to fully enjoy every moment.

My approach as a wedding photographer in Paris

Paris is a demanding city for a wedding: fast-paced schedules, prestigious venues, and constraints of time and traffic. My approach is based on documentary-style photography, with a discreet and attentive presence to capture the key moments without disrupting the flow of your day.

I focus on spontaneous images, genuine emotions, and the details that make your wedding unique. Whether your celebration is intimate or grand, I adapt to your atmosphere and personality, always maintaining the same high standard of quality.

Why hire an experienced Parisian wedding photographer

A wedding in Paris cannot be improvised. Between permits for certain locations, managing urban lighting, and sometimes complex travel, experience is essential.

As a wedding photographer in Paris, I am familiar with:

the specific challenges of Parisian weddings,
the best times of the day for lighting,
the importance of a smooth schedule to avoid stress,
the discretion required during civil and religious ceremonies.

My role is to support you calmly, so you can enjoy your wedding without worrying about the photography.

Paris, a unique setting for your wedding photos

Paris offers incredible diversity for your photos: elegant architecture, charming streets, historic gardens, the banks of the Seine, private mansions… Each neighborhood has a unique atmosphere, perfect for creating a rich and varied photo reportage.

Based on your schedule and preferences, I can advise you on suitable locations for your couple photos, while respecting the flow of your day. The goal is never to multiply travel, but to make the most of Paris’s surroundings.

Tailored support, before, during, and after the wedding

My work begins long before the wedding day. I place great importance on pre-wedding discussions to understand your relationship, your expectations, and your vision for the wedding.

My support includes:

pre-wedding preparation to anticipate the key moments,
advice on planning and lighting,
a discreet yet engaged presence on the wedding day,
careful selection and editing of each image,
the delivery of a cohesive and timeless reportage.

Every wedding is unique, and I fully commit to telling your story with sincerity.

Love and emotions

Emotion perfectly captured

Julien was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photos! He was punctual, friendly, and warm, and made us feel like the center of attention on such a special day. His attention to detail truly shines through in our photos, and we’re so grateful that he captured so many moments. He even worked “extra hours” for us, always with a smile. We would work with Julien again ten times over without hesitation — THANK YOU!

Memories etched for a lifetime

So much more than a photographer

I chose Julien for my wedding, and I can only recommend him 100%! He is kind, smiling, attentive, and immediately understood what we wanted. He made us feel at ease, even during the couple photos, and his advice was invaluable from start to finish. His good mood is contagious and his work is outstanding. He’s so much more than just a photographer!

Warm and authentic

Capturing emotion with talent

Julien captured our wedding with remarkable sensitivity. Each photograph reflects the emotion and atmosphere of this unique day, with special attention paid to detail. Beyond his talent as a photographer, it was also his kind and reassuring presence that stood out: always smiling, discreet, and attentive. From start to finish, he made us feel confident and supported us with professionalism and good humor. A true added value to our day.

Are you familiar with the constraints of city hall weddings in Paris?

Yes. Civil weddings in Paris are often tightly scheduled, with precise timings and little flexibility. I am used to working in Parisian city halls and know how to remain discreet while capturing the key moments: the entrance, exchanged glances, signing of the register, and the couple’s exit.

Is it possible to take photos inside Parisian city halls?

It depends on the city hall and the staff present on the day. Some allow photos freely, while others have restrictions. I always adapt to the guidelines on site, without disrupting the ceremony, to respect the official setting while preserving meaningful memories.

How do you manage traffic and transportation in Paris?

Paris requires real anticipation. I always plan my travel in advance, taking into account the neighborhood, the timing, and potential traffic difficulties. My goal is to always be early, allowing me to work calmly and without stress, which is especially important for weddings with multiple locations.

Do you need permits to take couple photos in Paris?

For a quick and discreet couple photo session in public spaces, no specific permit is usually required. However, some iconic locations, gardens, or private areas may require prior authorization. I always advise you in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

How much time should be planned for couple photos in Paris?

In Paris, I prioritize efficiency. There’s no need to visit multiple locations: 20 to 30 well-organized minutes are often enough to capture beautiful images without overloading your schedule. I adapt to your day so that the session remains smooth and enjoyable.

Is it possible to take photos despite the crowds and tourists?

Yes, it’s absolutely possible. Thanks to my experience as a wedding photographer in Paris, I know how to work with the environment, choosing the right angles and the right moments. Crowds are sometimes part of the Parisian story, and they can even add real energy to the images.

Do you work only in Paris or also in Île-de-France?

I photograph weddings in Paris as well as throughout Île-de-France. Many couples choose a civil ceremony in Paris followed by a reception outside the capital. I am fully comfortable with this type of hybrid arrangement.

What happens in case of an unexpected event on the wedding day?

Unexpected events are part of any wedding, even more so in Paris. My role is to adapt quickly, stay calm, and find solutions without affecting your experience or the quality of your photo reportage.
