PHOTOGRAPHERS | Clarisse Et Johan

Clarisse Et Johan are a photography duo based in the South of France and are driven by a shared artistic sensitivity and the same high standards. Their company reflects their vision: to tell sincere, elegant, and human stories, with particular attention to detail, emotion, and timelessness. For Clarisse Et Johan, the sentimental value holds as much importance as aesthetics in their film and digital photography work.

What would you like couples to know about you?

That we are deeply invested in every wedding we photograph. We take the time to get to know our couples, to understand their story and their expectations. Our goal is to create images that truly reflect who they are and that will continue to resonate with them over the years.

Where are you based?

We are based in the South of France and grew up between the sea and the mountains, which has likely shaped our strong appreciation for nature and natural elements, as well as our love for long summer evenings spent outdoors.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes, we are happy to travel. Traveling is an integral part of our creative approach. Discovering new places and new light fuels our work and enriches the storytelling of each reportage.

How would you describe your style?

Our photographic style is primarily documentary in the sense that we love to capture scenes as vividly as possible, without interrupting or asking them to be reenacted. At the same time, we also have a taste for carefully crafted, beautiful portraits. We place great importance on the atmosphere of the day and its sentimental value.

What is your most memorable career moment?

We have photographed around 300 weddings, and no memory is more valuable than another. What moves us most is the feeling of being perfectly in sync with the moment we are capturing. It is in these precise moments that our favorite images are born. They are not necessarily the most spectacular or impressive, but they are the ones we cherish most, as they fully convey the emotion and life of each wedding.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

We use both. Digital allows us to capture energy and fleeting moments, while film brings a slower, more sensory approach. Together, they enrich our perspective and our way of telling a story.

What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?

Film photography is undoubtedly our favorite practice. It encourages us to slow down, to observe, and to photograph with intention. Film offers a unique texture, depth, and softness, giving rise to timeless images full of emotion and authenticity.

Who is your dream client?

Our ideal client is a couple who is sensitive to emotion, aesthetics, and attention to detail. We love working with open-minded, curious, creative couples who trust us and are looking for sincere, human, and timeless images.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

To stay true to themselves. To make choices that feel meaningful to them, even if they step outside traditional conventions. The more present and relaxed a couple is on their wedding day, the more genuine the emotions. Surrounding themselves with trusted vendors allows them to let go and fully live each moment.
