Real questions from couples, answered personally. Your question isn’t here? Write to me below.

Dear Marion, we live in London and have never set foot in the venue we booked in Provence. Is that madness?

Emily & James · London

Not at all, many of my couples are in the same situation. Château, villa, beach or Parisian street: I am used to adapting to every venue and working with the light as it is on the day. I quickly find the most beautiful spots, and all you have to do is let yourself be guided.Marion

Dear Marion, my fiancé hates being photographed. Truly hates it.

Clara · Paris

Then I will guide him step by step: where to stand, what to do with his hands, where to look. We will take all the time we need, with no pressure, and you will see, it becomes real fun. In the gallery, you won’t recognise how relaxed he looks.Marion

Dear Marion, our mothers want a hundred family photos. We want ten. Help.

Sophia & Luca · New York

We plan all of this ahead. On the day, we take the official group photos, the famous ten, with your closest people. And to make your mothers happy, we can set up a photocall corner with your wedding designer, so every guest leaves with their own portrait.Marion

Dear Marion, what if it rains?

Charlotte & Tom · Edinburgh

We always have a plan B. At Château de Martinay it rained, so we improvised: some of the most beautiful images of the wedding were taken indoors, at the piano. And if you still dream of outdoor photos, we can organise a session after the wedding.Marion

Dear Marion, do you speak English? Our families don’t speak French.

Megan & Daniel · Boston

I am not bilingual, but I speak English and every season I work with couples and families from all over the world. It always goes beautifully: we understand each other, we laugh, and no one feels lost.Marion

Dear Marion, should we do a first look?

Olivia · Toronto

There is no wrong answer, it all depends on the two of you. Some couples love the solemnity of walking down the aisle in front of all their guests. Others choose the intimacy of a unique moment, just the two of them, before the ceremony. I help you choose what feels like you.Marion

Dear Marion, we have a planner. Do you talk to her directly?

Isabella & Marco · Milan

Of course. We work as a team, hand in hand, to give you the most beautiful wedding, one that looks like you. The timeline, the locations, the light: we plan everything together, so all you have to do is live your day.Marion

Dear Marion, I want to look like a magazine cover, but I have never posed in my life.

Hannah · Dublin

Nobody has, before their wedding. I will tell you exactly where to place your hands, your gaze, your shoulders. After five minutes you stop thinking about it, and that is when the cover happens. I know what the great wedding blogs look for: I am published regularly, and Wezoree ranked me among the top 20 wedding photographers in France.Marion

Dear Marion, can you photograph the whole weekend, not only the wedding day?

The Whitfields · Sydney

With pleasure. The welcome dinner, the wedding day, the brunch the morning after: together we build a wedding that looks like you and follows your wishes, whether it is a single day or the whole weekend. And by the brunch, your guests have forgotten I exist.Marion

Dear Marion, how long until we see our photos?

Emma & Louis · Paris

It depends on the collection you choose. Your full gallery arrives within a few weeks, and if you can’t wait, an express delivery in 48 hours is possible. Every image is edited one by one: I never send a photograph I would not sign.Marion

Dear Marion, we don’t want our photos on social media. Is that a problem?

Anonymous, at their request

Not at all. We decide together what is shared. Two options are available: I only publish the decor, with no faces at all, or you choose complete privacy, with a signed non-disclosure agreement. Discretion is part of the job.Marion

Dear Marion, what should my fiancé wear?

Grace · London

Something he feels powerful in. A perfect black tuxedo never fails; a cream jacket in Provence is a dream. And please, a real tailor: the camera sees everything.Marion

Dear Marion, do you work alone?

Léa & Hugo · Lyon

It all depends on your wishes and needs. I can come alone, or with a team: several second photographers, someone dedicated to Polaroids, to the drone, or a content creator for your social media. Your wedding is made to measure.Marion
