Intimate Wedding Photographer & Videographer in France & Europe

A duo creating cinematic, documentary-driven imagery for intimate celebrations.

CINEMATIC LOVE STORIES ACROSS EUROPE AND DESTINATION WEDDINGS WORLDWIDE

We are a husband-and-wife photography and filmmaking duo based in France, working with couples who value real emotion over performance.

Our approach sits between cinema and documentary — focusing on atmosphere, connection, and the quiet in-between moments that define a story.

Whether you are planning an intimate wedding in a historic French château, an adventurous destination engagement, or renewing your vows in the wildest corners of Europe, we travel worldwide to tell stories that are soulful, and entirely yours.

FOR COUPLES WHO WANT THEIR Special DAY TO FEEL LIKE AN EXPERIENCE, NOT AN EVENT.

CINEMATIC FILMS WITH A RETRO SPARK, SHAPED BY MEMORY

Our work blends intentional, documentary storytelling with a warm, slightly retro aesthetic inspired by classic cinema and our own love for travel. We are drawn to what is real—the subtle gestures you didn't realize happened, the atmosphere of a place, and the unique way it holds your story.

Getting Married or
Eloping in France & Europe

France remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the world for weddings and elopements thanks to its architecture, landscapes, cuisine and atmosphere. We regularly document celebrations in Provence, Dordogne, the French Riviera and the French Alps, as well as in neighbouring European destinations such as Italy, Iceland and Switzerland.

If you are travelling to Europe for your wedding, elopement or engagement session, we are available to document your story wherever it takes place.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR COUPLES

Cellini & ronan — ireland, intimate wedding in spain

“Amazing duo of photographers ! Looking at the beautiful photos they took on our wedding day really warmed our hearts, especially all the parts I couldn’t see on the day, they captured them…..We are so happy that we had them both as our photographers. Clovis was busy with the grooms side and Theeda with the brides side, just a perfect match for them to capture all the moments of both parties. We really recommend Clovis and Theeda! We had our wedding in Spain and it was no problem for them to get there on time. They were both very respectful, caring and passionate. All our guests praised your work and loved your dynamic duo! Thank you very much!”

Chloe & Tom — UK, Intimate Wedding in France

“Looking for a phenomenal photography or your wedding day then congratulations because you have just come across Seiji Mori Studio and you've hit the money maker.
I cannot recommend these two enough. Tom and I got married in the Dordorgne area in France and we wanted more than just those typical candid shots that you see at most weddings (although beautiful in their own right of course). We wanted an edge and this was it; we are so happy with the results.

I need to mention how Clovis and Theeda were everywhere but never seen. They snapped photos without guests knowing and captured such good content and treasured memories. Yet, when we needed direction or advice they were there offering such professional help throughout the whole day.”

 

Meghan & David — USA, Vow Renewal in France

“My husband and I worked with Clovis & Theeda for our vow renewal in Lyon, and I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about them. From our very first interaction, their communication was thoughtful, warm, and professional. Planning something so personal from another country could have easily felt stressful, but they made the entire experience feel effortless and comfortable from beginning to end.

What stood out most to us was not only their incredible talent, but also their presence as people. Since our vow renewal was intentionally very intimate, just the two of us with them, the dynamic could have felt awkward or overly staged with the wrong photographers. Instead, they brought such warmth, calmness, flexibility, and ease to the experience that it honestly felt like spending time with people who genuinely cared about helping us create a meaningful memory together.

If you are considering working with them, do it! Beyond being extraordinarily talented photographers, they create an experience that feels personal, intentional, and deeply human. We will treasure these photos forever.!”

FAQ

Do you only photograph elopements and intimate weddings?

We specialize in elopements and intimate weddings across France, Europe, and destination locations worldwide.

This focus allows us to fully invest in a slower, more intentional way of working — where the experience, connection, and atmosphere take priority over scale.

If you’re planning a celebration with a small group or just the two of you, you’re in the right place.

How do we know if we are the right fit?

We tend to work with couples who care more about experience than production.

You might be a good fit if:

  • you want your day to feel natural, calm, and unforced

  • you prefer presence over performance

  • you’re planning a destination elopement or intimate wedding abroad

  • you value storytelling that feels honest and cinematic, not staged

If this feels aligned, we’ll likely be a great match.

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most couples feel this way.

You won’t be asked to pose all day or perform for the camera.
We give gentle guidance when needed, but most of the day is documented as it naturally unfolds.

The goal is for you to focus on each other, not on the camera.

Will you help us during the day?

While our approach is documentary, we guide when needed to help the day flow naturally.

This can include:

  • suggesting the best time for certain moments

  • helping with light and locations

  • keeping the timeline relaxed and realistic

You’ll never feel lost or unsure of what happens next.

Do you work as a team?

We are a photography and videography duo.

This means:

  • one shared vision

  • no coordination between separate vendors

  • a consistent style in both photo and film

  • a calm and seamless presence throughout the day

Where do you work?

Based in France, we travel internationally for destination elopements and intimate weddings.

Our work is most often in Europe, Morocco, and selected destinations in Asia, but we are open to traveling wherever your story takes place.

Do you travel for every wedding?

Most of the couples we work with are travelling for their wedding or elopement.

Travel is part of what we do.

Do we need to book photo and video together?

You can book photography only, or photography and videography together.

Most couples choose both because photo and film complement each other beautifully and allow you to relive the day in different ways.

How would you describe your style?

Authentic, documentary and cinematic with a retro spark.

We focus on real moments, genuine emotions and the atmosphere of the day rather than heavy posing or staged scenes.

How long until we receive our photos and film?

Typical delivery times:

  • Photo previews: within 1 week

  • Full gallery: 6–8 weeks

  • Films: 12–16 weeks

You’ll always receive previews shortly after the wedding.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 6–18 months in advance.

Popular dates fill quickly, especially from May to October.

Do you offer planning services?

Yes — for elopements, we provide full creative and logistical guidance, including locations, timelines, and flow of the day.

For intimate weddings, where coordination is more complex, we recommend working with a wedding planner in addition to our photography and film coverage.

Do you offer payment plans?

Payment can be split into multiple instalments to make the investment easier to manage.
