Tell us about your business!
Bonjour, I’m Alice! I am a French destination wedding photographer based in Perth, Australia.
My work is inspired by beauty and fuelled by connections - both elements are the essence of what
I do and encompass my main core values.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! Although I now call Australia home, I was born and grew up in the south of France, so I
particularly love to travel back there during the summer, make good use of my French passport, and document weddings all around Europe.
That being said, I will travel anywhere, anytime to document love - whether it be on the other side of the country or the world.
How would you describe your style?
A documentary approach with an editorial finish — my work is heartfelt, elegant, and timeless. In my galleries, I weave together a mix of classic portraiture and off-the-cuff moments, artful vignettes and snippets of human connection, with a clean and natural edit that will outlive trends and stand the test of time.
What inspires you?
I am inspired by human connections, Sofia Coppola’s movies, how the light dances through the trees and touches the face of the people I love, French chateaux, spring & flowers in full bloom, handwritten love notes, music, Baroque and Renaissance paintings, discovering old and new places, looking for beauty even in the dark corners.
How would you describe your working style?
I have a very gentle, intuitive, and non-obtrusive approach to photographing weddings and
prioritise my couple’s experience above all else. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. I don’t believe in manufacturing moments; instead, I go with the flow, capturing your day as it unfolds before my lens, only stepping in for some gentle guidance whenever needed, whilst painting you and your love in the most wonderful light.
Connection is at the core of my personality, my approach to photography, and the way I view the
world. So, building a connection with you and getting to know you is extremely valuable to me. My
understanding of your journey together fuels everything we create and fosters a space for me to capture your most loving and intimate moments on the day. This rapport starts from the moment you stumble upon my work until well after the wedding day is over, which is why choosing your photographer not only based on their portfolio but also their personality is so important.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Both - although the bulk of the images I deliver are shot on digital, film photography has been an
ever-growing part of my work. Each of my wedding collections includes a highlight of images from the day shot on film, with the option to add additional rolls for the real lovers of all things analogue.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
I love being back home in Europe. I have shot weddings in Paris, Provence, Lake Como, Tuscany, and Puglia, and would head back to any of those destinations in a heartbeat. Inquiries for European summer 2027 are now open, so if you are planning a destination wedding in June, July, or September 2027, I would love to hear from you.
A dream of mine would be to photograph a wedding in Copenhagen, Denmark. I lived there for a
year during a university exchange, and it is one of the coolest places on Earth. Very high on the list
is also New York City or Upstate New York.
Last but not least, I’d love to travel interstate more often. Melbourne is like a second home, but shooting weddings anywhere else across Australia would be a dream!
Who is your dream client?
My dream client is simply someone who appreciates art and values photography. They understand
the importance of investing in those everlasting memories and trust me with their special moments.
I am so lucky to work with so many of my dream clients already. They are kind, easygoing, they
trust their vendors, and although they appreciate beautiful things and have a great sense of style
and aesthetic, they never lose track of what truly matters: that their wedding day is about what it
feels like, not what it looks like. They are at home with each other, cheer each other on, and feel
safe in each other’s presence.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
Pick your vendors wisely, and if budget allows, hire a wedding planner; they’re worth their weight in
gold. The people you choose to bring your special day together are here to help you, so don’t be
afraid to lean on us, communicate with us, and most importantly, trust us. The best thing you can do
on the day is to let go - all you need to worry about is being in the moment. The day goes so fast,
so remember to pause and enjoy every second. Hug your guests tight, eat the cake, drink the
champagne, dance the night away!
And finally, as much as you can, make sure you spend time together on the day. Whether that’s
getting ready together, exchanging a first look before your ceremony, or disappearing for 10
minutes in the middle of your reception to take it all in. Don’t forget what this day is all about:
celebrating you and your relationship.
