What types of sessions do you offer and how much do they cost?
We specialize in:
– Proposals & engagements
– Couples & families
– Weddings & elopements
– Boudoir & solo portraits
Packages start at €250/hour, depending on your photographer. Proposals, weddings, and boudoir sessions are priced higher as they include extended consultation and premium editing. Boudoir sessions also include a confidentiality agreement (NDA). Evening shoots concluding afte
How far in advance should I book?
Book as soon as you know your dates. Early booking gives you the widest choice of photographers, prime time slots (like sunrise), and plenty of time to plan together. This matters most for peak season (May-October) and holidays like Valentine’s Day, July 14, or New Year’s Eve—these dates book up months ahead.
That said, we often accommodate last-minute requests. Need a photographer today or tomorrow? Call us directly rather than emailing.
What’s included in my photography package?
Your package includes:
– Professional photography for your chosen duration
– Expert location planning and guidance
– Edited high-resolution images (quantity varies by coverage hours)
– Private online gallery for sharing, downloading, and ordering prints
– Print shop access for professional prints, canvases, and albums
– For boudoir sessions: an ironclad NDA guaranteeing complete privacy
What happens if it rains on my shoot day?
First, don’t panic. In our experience, 80% of “rainy” forecasts never materialize, and clients who cancel often regret it, especially when their rescheduled date has worse weather.
Check [weather.com/weather/today/l/Paris+France] for current conditions. Light rain or overcast skies? These conditions are actually ideal—soft lighting flatters skin, eliminates harsh shadows, prevents squinting, and keeps tourist crowds away. We provide stylish, clear umbrellas that photograph beautifully.
For heavy rain, we’ll work with you to adjust locations (covered passages, gorgeous cafés) or reschedule if possible. The earlier you communicate concerns, the better we can adapt.
Important: We don’t offer refunds for weather (or any reason, including no-shows).
Do travel time and outfit changes count toward my booked hours?
Yes. Your session starts at the scheduled time, regardless of arrival. This includes:
— Travel between locations
— Outfit changes (hotel stops or café restrooms)
— Any waiting time (traffic, taxis, etc.)
Time-saving tips:
— Choose locations strategically (your photographer will advise)
— Limit outfit changes to maximize shooting time
— Consider our Mercedes van service for ultimate efficiency (€120/hour)
Remember: Quality time at fewer locations beats rushing between many spots.
How do I choose between your photographers?
All our photographers are English-speaking Paris locals who are professional, friendly, and passionate about their work. They differ in:
— Years of experience
— Photography style
— Posing guidance
— Personality and energy level
To find your perfect match, review each photographer’s portfolio, read client reviews, and check their bios. Your choice will shape your experience and final images.
What’s your cancellation policy?

Pre-Shoot Preparation
What should I wear for my Paris photoshoot?
Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. Classic outfits photograph beautifully against Paris’s neutral backdrop. Light colors work exceptionally well during golden hour, while soft pastels, jewel tones, and neutrals are always safe choices. Skip busy patterns, logos, or neon colors.
If photographing together, coordinate rather than match. Bring a jacket or scarf for variety, but remember—fewer outfit changes mean more shooting time. Ladies, skip new shoes; Paris cobblestones are unforgiving. Pack comfortable flats for walking between locations.
Who will help me plan my photoshoot?
Your photographer becomes your personal Paris guide! After booking, you’ll receive an email confirmation with shoot details, an introduction to your photographer, and a WhatsApp contact for direct communication.
Our photographers are local experts who’ll help you choose the best photo spots and create a personalized route. They can arrange Mercedes van service (€120/hour) for efficiency.
Connect early! Share recent photos, your vision, and Pinterest boards. The more your photographer knows, the better they can personalize your experience.
Do you recommend hair and makeup services?
Yes! We work with vetted, English-speaking artists who understand photography, lighting, and Parisian weather. Professional styling isn’t required, but it can boost confidence and keep you photo-ready throughout. Rates typically run €300-450.
Email support@kissinparis.com for our recommended artists. They’re experienced, reliable, and always finish on time.
