See the elopement photographers service page and the dedicated pricing section.
Intimate weddings with guests are quoted individually — coverage needs vary too much for a fixed menu. As a guide, elopement-style coverage starts at €450 for 1.5 hours, and your quote is built from the hours and locations your day needs. Tell us about your wedding for a same-week quote.
Solo portraits, maternity shoots and quinceañera photoshoots in Paris all follow the standard price list — from €214 for a mini, from €300 for 1 hour — with no surcharges. Quinceañeras wanting a dress change should book the 3-hour session, which includes an outfit change between locations. Check more pricing options on the quinceanera service page pricing section.
Hiring a local vacation photographer in Paris costs from €214 per session — booked directly with our team, with no marketplace fee added on top. You pick your photographer by portfolio from our team of 8 and see their exact price before paying; full guidance is included, so it works even if you’ve never done a photoshoot.
Book sunrise. It costs the same as any other slot, and Trocadéro at 7am gives you the Eiffel Tower with nobody in the background — the biggest value upgrade money can’t otherwise buy. Compare photographers’ prices: each of our 8 sets their own rates, so the same 1-hour shoot can differ by €15–€30 — every price is visible on their booking pages. Choose 1.5 hours over 1 hour if you want two backdrops: roughly €75 more buys a second location and 10 extra edited photos, cheaper than any add-on. Short on budget? The €214 mini gets you a real Eiffel Tower session with 10 photos. And because pricing is per session, families and groups up to 5 pay the same.
Professional Paris photographers typically charge €150–€800+ per session depending on experience, team size and inclusions. The Paris Photographer charges from €214 for a 30-minute mini session, €300–€313 for 1 hour with 20 edited photos, and €375 for 1.5 hours with 30 edited photos across two locations — with a same-day proofing gallery, VAT included, and no hidden fees.
Each of our 8 photographers sets their own rates based on experience and demand, typically within €15–€30 of each other for the same session. You choose your photographer by portfolio and see their exact price before booking — the ranges on this page cover the whole team.
Yes — a fixed reservation fee (for example €130 for a mini session, €200 for 1 hour, €225 for 1.5 hours) is paid when you sign the booking agreement and deducted from your total; the balance is paid directly to your photographer after the shoot. Cancellations 5 or more days before the shoot are refunded in full, minus 3% payment processing.
Your proofing gallery with every photo arrives the same day as your shoot. You then select your favourites (within 30 days), and edited photos are delivered within 6–8 weeks of the shoot date — though in practice most galleries are ready within days of your selection, outside the peak summer season.
No — session prices are the same year-round and at every Paris location, including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and Montmartre, with no travel fees inside Paris. Shoots outside Paris (Versailles, châteaux, Disneyland) add a €200 travel fee.
Paris rain is usually light and intermittent, and we keep shooting with umbrellas as props — or we reschedule at a mutually agreeable time. Weather never adds to the price.
The main drivers are editing time per photo, whether the shoot is private or shared, how many photos are included versus sold afterwards as extras, and whether VAT is included in the advertised price. When comparing, check what’s included: some low headline prices include very few edited photos, with the real cost added per photo after the shoot. Our packages include the edited photos, the same-day gallery, guidance and VAT in the listed price.
