For added peace of mind, we can provide a legally binding non-disclosure agreement (NDA) upon request. While NDAs are automatically included with all our boudoir sessions, they are not standard for our other photography services.

The city’s famously unpredictable weather can shift within hours. Here’s how we ensure your photography experience stays exceptional in any conditions:

Weather Flexibility Plan

• If rain is expected, we’ll strive to accommodate you by adjusting your session time or recommending alternate iconic locations that shine in any weather.
• Short-notice rescheduling requests are welcome but cannot be guaranteed. Availability of your preferred photographer or time slot may vary, and adjustments could affect pricing.

Why Overcast Weather Can Enhance Your Photos

• Soft Light: Overcast skies provide ideal, studio-quality diffused lighting that flatters skin tones, eliminates harsh shadows, and enhances colors.
• Exclusive Access: A drizzle often clears crowds from popular landmarks, offering rare photo opportunities.
• Rainy-Day Charm: Paris brims with photogenic covered spots perfect for romantic, one-of-a-kind rainy-day portraits.
• Timeless Props: A classic umbrella, especially in black, adds elegance to your photos and evokes the charm of vintage noir postcards and films—perfect for creating cinematic black-and-white shots.

Pro Tips for a Stress-Free Experience

• Rely on weather forecasts no more than 6-8 hours before your session to avoid unnecessary stress.
• Let’s focus on what we can control: creating timeless, authentic photos that beautifully capture your love story.

Flexible Cancellation Policy

We understand that travel plans can change. From flight disruptions and visa issues to health concerns and schedule conflicts, we’ve helped many couples navigate unexpected changes. That’s why we offer one of Paris’s most flexible booking policies.

Cancellation Terms:

1. More than 10 Days Before Your Session:
   • Full refund minus a 10% administrative fee to cover processing costs
   • Cancellation must be submitted in writing
2. Within 10 Days of Your Session:
   • Your deposit becomes a non-refundable retainer
   • This applies to cancellations and no-shows
   • We’ll work with you to reschedule when possible

Our Commitment to You:

This policy applies to all Paris photo and video sessions except weddings and proposals. Please review these terms before booking or contact us with any questions.

Your photo session begins at the scheduled start time and includes everything that happens during your shoot. Here’s what to consider:

Travel Between Locations:

• Paris traffic can be unpredictable
• Uber frequently cancels in Paris, and taxi availability is unpredictable
• More locations mean less time for actual photography

Outfit Changes:

• Consider our private van service for quick, comfortable outfit changes
• Hotel returns take significant time from your session
• Café restroom changes aren’t ideal for your luxury experience

Pro Tip: Experienced couples typically plan one iconic Paris location—like Trocadero, the Louvre, or Montmartre—per hour of coverage, saving outfit changes for sessions of 2+ hours. Your artist will share personalized location and wardrobe recommendations during your consultation to enhance your experience and photo variety.

We appreciate that navigating Paris can be unpredictable, but timely arrival is crucial for capturing the best photos and avoiding stress. Here’s what you need to know:

Late Arrival Policy:

• We’ll wait up to 15 minutes at the agreed meeting point
• Your session starts at the scheduled time, not when you arrive
• Late arrivals may result in less photography coverage and fewer locations
• Session extensions are possible for an additional fee
• Strict non-refundable booking retainer in case of no-shows

Why Timing Matters:

• Many popular locations, like Trocadero, require precise timing to get the best light and avoid crowds—sunrise light especially makes a real difference in your photos
• Your photographer may already have other sessions scheduled, so we must stay on time

Pro Tips to Avoid Delays:

Account for unexpected events like traffic, strikes, or film productions

Keep your photographer’s WhatsApp contact handy for real-time updates

If you anticipate any delay, text or call your artist immediately

Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure a relaxed start

Be aware that Uber cancellations are common in Paris

While never expected, tips are always appreciated by our Paris photographers. If you loved your experience and want to show extra gratitude, there are two easy ways to tip:

• Cash: Most couples who choose to tip prefer giving cash directly to their photographer after the session
• Digital: You can also tip via PayPal or Venmo – just ask your photographer for their preferred method

Your kind words and referrals are equally cherished ways to show appreciation for a wonderful experience
