Whether you're celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, a honeymoon or simply your love for each other — Paris is the most beautiful stage in the world for your couple's story.
I'm Phil, a Paris-based professional photographer trained at the photography school Spéos Paris. I've been capturing couple photoshoots across the city since 2014 — at sunrise by the Eiffel Tower, under the arcades of Palais Royal, along the Seine at golden hour and in the quiet cobblestone streets that only locals know.
My approach is relaxed and natural. No stiff posing, no awkward silences. We walk, we laugh, I guide you gently — and in between, I capture the real moments: a glance, a whisper, the way you hold hands without thinking about it.
What to Expect
Your couple photoshoot is a private, guided experience through some of Paris's most beautiful spots.
Here's how it works:
Before the session, we chat about your story, your style and the vibe you're looking for. I suggest locations and timing based on the best light and the lowest crowds.
On the day, we meet at our first location and spend 1 to 2 hours walking and shooting together. I'll guide you through natural poses and movements — no photography experience needed. Most couples tell me they forgot the camera was there, after the first ten minutes.
The next day, I send you a sneak peek — a few edited images so you can share your favorites while you're still in Paris. Within a few days, you receive the full set in low resolution so you can browse and choose your personal selection. Once you've picked your favorites, I edit and deliver your final high-resolution gallery within two weeks.
Best Couple Photo Locations in Paris
Paris offers endless backdrops for romantic portraits. Here are some of my favorites:
Eiffel Tower & Trocadéro — The iconic shot. Best at sunrise for soft golden light and empty esplanades. See more
Louvre — The glass pyramid, the grand courtyards and the elegant arcades. A timeless backdrop that mixes history and modernity. See more
Palais Royal — The famous striped columns, secret gardens and covered galleries. Intimate, photogenic and surprisingly quiet in the morning. See more
Bir-Hakeim Bridge — Cinematic and moody. Think "Last Tango in Paris" meets modern romance. See more
Not sure which locations to pick? I'll create a personalized itinerary based on your style and the time of year.
Every Love Story Is Welcome
I photograph couples celebrating all kinds of moments:
Engagement — You just said yes (or you're about to). Let's capture the excitement while it's still fresh.
Anniversary — 1 year or 25 years. Paris has a way of making you fall in love all over again.
Honeymoon — The trip of a lifetime deserves more than selfies. Let me give you photos that match the feeling.
Pre-wedding — Coming to Paris before your big day? These photos make beautiful save-the-dates and wedding décor.
Just because — You don't need an occasion. You just need to be in Paris, together.
LGBTQ+ couples — Love is love. I'm proud to be an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer. My work has been exhibited at Centre LGBTQI+ Paris. See my Rainbow project here.

What My Couples Say
From honeymoons to anniversaries, engagements to elopements — couples of all kinds come to me to capture their Paris story.
Here's what some of them have shared:
"Phil's photography style ("lifestyle") is simply amazing — he is truly able to capture genuine emotions and freeze them in time, and not just have those standard staged poses and cliché photos."
— Julie I.
"Working with Phil was the absolute highlight of my wife and I's trip to Paris. When we were looking for photographers in Paris, it was crucial that we had one that works with LGBTQIA+ couples frequently, and Phil exceeded any expectations that we had! He ensured that we felt natural and comfortable, capturing the essence of our relationship better than any photographer that we've ever worked with (including our wedding photographer!)."
— Jamie & Hannah
"Phil is a total superstar! From the moment we started our session, he felt more like a big brother than a photographer. My partner is incredibly shy when it comes to photos and PDA, but Phil has a magic way of making you feel safe and encouraged. He managed to capture the most beautiful, natural shots of him that
I will treasure forever."
— Kevin & Michael
"Working with Phil in Paris was an incredible experience. He made the entire shoot feel effortless, fun, and really special. Phil helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided us naturally so the photos felt authentic and not staged.
The final images were stunning and captured the magic of Paris perfectly."
— Hector Jason & Andrei
"Phil did an amazing job capturing my husband and I on our honeymoon. The photoshoot doubled as a walking tour of Paris as well since Phil knew all the best spots! We had a lot of fun and glad we made the time for the shoot. The photos are the ultimate honeymoon souvenir!"
— Delaney
"Two people who definitely needed coffee and directions 10 minutes earlier — and somehow Phil made it look like a magazine shoot. We laughed the whole time, he had the most beautiful little spots in mind, and the photos are so much more than we expected. Worth every euro and then some!"
— Chris & Brian
"Phil was amazing!! He had the perfect spots, helped guide our poses and the photos were the BEST keepsake from our visit to Paris! Thank you, Phil!"
— Amanda
