About Gordes
Gordes is really two shoots. The first is the postcard: the panoramic lay-by on the road in from Cavaillon, where the whole village stacks up its cliff in one frame. It faces roughly west, so morning light comes from behind the village — come in the last two hours before sunset instead, when the sun rakes the dry-stone facades and turns them amber; that lay-by at golden hour is also one of Provence's easiest great proposal spots. The second shoot is inside: the calades — steep cobbled lanes — the castle square and the fountains, best before ten, when the day-trip coaches arrive and parking becomes a contact sport. Five minutes down a narrow valley road sits the Abbaye de Sénanque, its lavender rows framing the Romanesque church roughly from late June to mid-July; it is a working monastery, so shoot from the marked areas, keep voices down and leave the drone at home. Combine village golden hour with a Sénanque morning and the day is complete.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book our engagement photoshoot?
For Paris in spring and early summer, and for Provence during lavender season (late June to mid-July), book 4-8 weeks ahead — these are peak dates and the best photographers' calendars fill early. The Loire, Alsace and the Riviera outside August are more flexible; two to three weeks is usually enough. If your dates are fixed (say, you're combining the shoot with a wedding scouting trip), book as soon as you know them — you can always fine-tune the time and locations later in the chat with your photographer. Last-minute requests are still worth trying: Photo France can often match you with an available photographer within days.
Can we use engagement photos for our save-the-dates?
Yes — that's one of the most popular reasons couples book an engagement session. You receive high-resolution files with personal usage rights, perfect for printed cards, wedding websites, guest apps and social media announcements. Tell your photographer in advance that save-the-dates are the goal: they'll deliberately shoot some wider compositions with negative space for text, a mix of portrait and landscape orientations, and a few images that work at small print sizes. The two of you small against the Eiffel Tower at dawn, or framed by a lavender row in Gordes, makes an announcement nobody forgets. Delivery is typically within days, so the cards can go out quickly.
What's the difference between an engagement and couples session?
Practically, they're the same product — same duration, same pricing from €299, same photographer pool. The difference is intent. An engagement session usually has deliverables in mind: save-the-dates, a wedding website, images that match the aesthetic of your upcoming wedding. Your photographer will plan for that — cleaner compositions, ring details, perhaps echoing the color palette of your wedding venue. A couples session is freer: it documents your trip and your relationship as they are, with more candid wandering. Tell us which one you mean when booking and the session gets planned accordingly; plenty of couples honestly book it as both.
