Couple session · In the city · Worldwide

Urban Love.
The city as a film set.

A cinematic, graphic couple session in the city of your choice — architecture, textures and light for a set, the two of you as its characters. The French touch, from Paris to Rome, from London to New York.

The concept

Not a photoshoot.
A scene from a film.

I don't look for a pretty backdrop — I look for the shot. A glass façade that frames you, a rust-coloured wasteland that swallows you, a blade of light between two buildings. The city becomes the set of a film in which you are the characters: graphic, lyrical, cinematic — my speciality, the one that earned me a World TOP 2 ranking. People call it the French touch: cinema in the blood, elegance without effort, a certain way of looking at love.

Three to five hours crossing the city together, with no stiff posing. You walk, you laugh, you find each other — I build the images.

How it works

Three steps, one city

1

We choose the city

The one where you met, the one you dream of, or mine — on a video call, we talk about you, your story and the film we are going to shoot. I build the route and the hour of light.

2

The session — 3 to 5 hours

We cross the city like a film set: façades, reflections, textures, backlight. No stiff posing — I direct gently and disappear when the moment is yours.

Your images

A sneak peek within 48 hours, then every file retouched one by one, delivered in high resolution through a private online gallery. Fine-art albums and prints as options.

Questions

Before you ask

What exactly is an Urban Love session?
A 3-to-5-hour couple session in a city, built like a film: the city is the set — architecture, textures, light — and you are its characters. The style is cinematic and graphic. All retouched files are included.
How much does a couple photoshoot in Paris cost?
€990, travel included — 3 to 5 hours of shooting and all retouched files in high resolution. In Normandy, the session is €650.
Would you really fly to New York?
Yes — that is exactly what Urban Love is for. New York, Montreal, Tokyo: the session is from €4,900; travel and accommodation are quoted separately, depending on the city and the season. Once you accept the quote, nothing moves.
What time of day is the session?
Whenever the light decides — often early morning when the city belongs to us, or late afternoon when it catches fire. That is also why the session lasts 3 to 5 hours: we follow the light, not the clock.
We are not comfortable in front of a camera…
Nobody is. You walk, you talk, you are together — I take care of the rest. The direction is gentle, never stiff, and the first images always put everyone at ease.
How do we book?
Write to me with your city and your dates. 50% at booking, balance before the session; for faraway destinations, the deposit becomes non-refundable once tickets are issued. Rescheduling possible by mutual agreement.
