PHOTOGRAPHIE
the EXPERIENCE
Welcome
We are delighted that you want to choose us to document your love!
Our approach to photographing weddings is rooted in authenticity; we love to document the natural moments of what makes your wedding so beautiful in a relaxed and non-intrusive way.
We love capturing the big moments as much as those fleeting moments in-between to build a collection of honest, creative and timeless photographs. We want you to look at your photos with a warm smile, remembering exactly how you felt in that moment.

Make it official!
Date Reserved
You are reassured that we are the right choice for you, and you look forward to booking us for your wedding day! All you need to do to make it official is sign our quote, contract, and make a 30% deposit. We are also happy to provide you with vendor recommendations, planning advice and more.
Engagement session
Sessions can take place anywhere, anytime. We have found that there is no "right" or "wrong" time to take your photos, the most important thing is that you make them!
Preparation for the wedding day
Two months before your wedding, we will send you a questionnaire to start gathering all the planning details, formal family photo lists and everything else we should know about your big day. Then we'll set up a video consultation to discuss all of this in more detail.
The Big Day
This is it! It's here! The day you both say "I do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know that we are excited to celebrate and immortalize your wedding day with you. It's going to be great!
It's ready
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within 6-8 weeks of your wedding. Once received, you can download all the images, share the gallery link with your guests, and even order prints directly.
WHAT TO EXPECT
our process
Helping you have a beautiful, stress-free and joyful day is one of our highest priorities.
Prior to your wedding day, I - Rachel - will work with you to create a customized plan for your unique day, ensuring that meaningful moments and all the details, big and small, are captured. We will also work together to choose beautiful and meaningful photo locations that you will love. And while it's totally optional, I'm always happy to give you my honest and unbiased input on any aspect of your day if you ask!
On your wedding day, I capture the moments exactly as they happen: the genuine smiles, the raw emotions and the story of your big day from start to finish. My goal is to be sophisticated rather than cringy, so you can be totally comfortable knowing I won't put you in stiff poses. Instead, I offer gentle instructions to make you feel comfortable and look your best in front of the camera. I believe in quality over quantity and shooting with intention, which means you can spend more time celebrating with your loved ones.
After your wedding day, your photos will be delivered to an online gallery where you and your loved ones can download all the images in high resolution. You can either order professional quality prints directly from the online gallery, or you are free to take them to your favorite printer - they are yours.

CELEBRATE A SEASON
Unless you're a model, being photographed is probably a little awkward!!! However, we are big fans of engagement sessions for several reasons. First of all, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to prepare to be photographed and to understand how to pose naturally.
Second, timelines can be quite tight on wedding days and 30 minutes in total, split into 2/3 mini-sessions can be all we have for portraits - which is why we have found that portraits turn out so much better when couples schedule engagement sessions in advance.
Third, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is important to both of you (and even include pets!). Plus, photos from an engagement session are perfectly suited for your invitations.
Q:
WE LOVE YOUR WORK AND WANT TO BOOK. WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
A:
Fantastic! In order to reserve your wedding date, you will need to sign our contract and pay a non-refundable deposit of 30%. If you have not yet received a copy of our contract, please let us know and we will send it to you asap! The final balance is due 7 days before the wedding date.
Q:
DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR WEDDINGS?
A:
We generally add a travel fee (0.65€/km) to any wedding beyond a 50 kilometer radius from either Reims or Epernay. However, we do have a secret list of 'dream locations' (Lake Como!!!) for which, we will completely wave the travel fees if your wedding is in one of these locations.So please enquire for further details!
Q:
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL I RECEIVE?
A:
Galleries typically range from 400 to 800 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding, but on average you will receive 50-75 photos per hour of photo coverage, and as a general rule I tend to prioritize quality over quantity. Your online gallery will be loaded with fully edited, high resolution images.
Q:
WHEN SHOULD WE SCHEDULE OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
A:
Whenever you want! We can do this immediately after booking or if you're travelling in from another city, then we can schedule something closer to the wedding day.
Thank you so much for considering us to be a part of your wedding day! If you are interested in working with us, the next step is to set up a quick call! You can reach us directly at rachelannphotographie@gmail.com
