How much does a photographer cost in Normandy?
With Arnaud Chapelle, a documentary wedding photographer based in Saint-Lô, Normandy, wedding coverage in 2026 runs from 1,199 € — the town hall and ceremony through to the end of the cocktail hour — to 1,899 € for the whole day, from the getting-ready to 1 am, and 3,400 € for the full three-day weekend. These are the same prices as for French couples, with the same terms. An elopement for just the two of you is 1,400 €. Travel and accommodation are added on top, from 40 € to a maximum of 500 € depending on distance, and confirmed in your quote before you book. A couple session in the city starts at 490 € in Normandy and is 990 € in Paris. A surprise proposal, photographed in secret, starts at 490 €. A portrait or family session starts at 79 € for the session fee alone, or 149 € to 890 € as a package with the files included. In every case, the retouching and a private online gallery delivered within 15 days are included.
Is travel included in the price?
Travel is charged on top of the package and confirmed in your quote before you book, never afterwards. It is included within 30 km of Saint-Lô, then a flat fee by distance: 40 € up to 60 km, 90 € up to 120 km, 150 € up to 200 km, 250 € up to 300 km, and 500 € beyond — that last figure covering the drive, the travel days and the nights on site. It never exceeds 500 € anywhere within 400 km of Saint-Lô, which reaches the Loire. There is no per-kilometre meter, and one single figure applies whatever the package. South of the Loire, in Europe and worldwide, destination rates take over.
What does a wedding outside France cost?
The Destination Wedding flies me to your own country: 5,900 € for the wedding day and 7,500 € for the full weekend, anywhere in the world. A travel supplement is added on top and settled upfront, when the flights are booked — 1,200 € for Europe and the United Kingdom, 2,800 € for North America, 3,900 € for the rest of the world.
Which prices apply if I am flying in for a family or a couple session?
A family session costs the same as for a French family: 79 € for the session fee alone — the shoot and the retouching — then the photographs à la carte, from 40 € for one to 399 € for the whole session; or a package from 149 € for 3 files to 890 € for -1. For families travelling to Normandy, a video call before the trip, the location chosen around the tide and a ten-photograph preview within 48 hours are included. An Urban Love couple session in Normandy is 490 € for one hour and 20 photographs, 790 € for an hour and a half with the complete gallery, and 1,290 € for half a day with the luxe 30x40 album; south of the Loire, in Europe and worldwide, it starts at 1,490 €. Travel is added on top, from 40 € to a maximum of 500 €, depending on distance.
Can I give a photo session as a gift?
Yes. A gift card can cover a portrait or family session, from 149 € to 890 €, a wedding photographed in Normandy from 1,199 €, or an elopement at 1,400 €. It is personalised with the recipient's first name, sent by email and ready to print, and the amount never appears on the card itself. It is valid for 18 months.
