PRE-WEDDING ROMANCE IN PARIS
Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal 5* Paris
Lou-Anne fell in love with Victor 6 years back. Their story inspired us to prepare this photoshoot for them. Entitled, ‘An unforgettable romance in Paris’, this pre-wedding mix reflects the couple’s super-active lifestyle and their love for travel. The « Eiffel Tower Suite » of the Grand Hotel du Palais Royal is but one more unparalleled venue with its extraordinary view of the Louvre and obviously, the eponymous Eiffel Tower, which can only be a dream for lovers!

From The Perfect Proposal To A Stunning Engagement Soirée in Paris
In Paris, every grand boulevard offers the opportunity to express your undying affection to your better half. Stolen kisses come alive with the Louvre Museum or the Petit Palais as witnesses. The Eiffel Tower’s twinkling background SEEN from the Trocadéro lends a magical glow to your engagement shoot, while the sweeping views of the city from Pont Alexandre III atop the Seine put a soft focus on your pre-wedding celebrations. Let curiosity guide you through majestic palaces, castles and cathedrals—the Palais-Royal and Notre-Dame will never fail you—and embrace the grounded feeling that les jardins du Luxembourg and Tuileries have to offer.
Getting married in France offers a host of exciting, new experiences and the chance to spend quality time with family and friends. The City of Light unveils an ode to classic romanticism that continues to captivate today’s global clientele. Cadoret Studios is the evolution of Paulina and Ossa’s long history of hard-working collaboration creating custom timeless imagery for brides and grooms in destination weddings held across the world. Striking aerial drone footage, editorial style photography and cinematic film production make these exclusive secret locations feel exceptionally familiar.
THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF VERSAILLES EXTRAVAGANCE
Just 30 minutes away from central Paris, the cultural city of Versailles claims relevance in French heritage. Its striking grandeur highlights the pared back sensibility of pre-wedding festivities, from spectacular marriage proposals to intimate engagement sessions.
Wedding Inspiration photoshoot
When it comes to integrating traditional elements to life-long memories, it’s all about a deft mix of context and a good eye for creative alchemy. At the Palace of Versailles, sunlight ranges from warm yellow to burnt orange, comforting moments spellbound against the world’s best polished gardens, while gilded reflections swaddle your embrace in love and romance.
And despite its grand allure, Versailles feels incredibly warm and inviting, influencing our senses with its visual trickery. Take the estate of Trianon, for example, home to the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon palaces, as well as the Queen’s Hamlet and a variety of ornamental gardens that add a unique charm to every single bride and groom shot.
"Paulina was a fantastic photographer to work with during our wedding. She was very cooperative and captured such beautiful memories for us that will last a lifetime. Definitely one of the sweetest wedding photographers we've worked with, and the most magical photography skills. Thank you so much once again, Paulina, for shooting our dream wedding!"
— Amandine
"We really enjoyed every second working together with Paulina as our wedding photographer! During the wedding ceremony, she was always pretty good at capturing the perfect moments while we had all the time in the world to focus on ourselves. During our wedding shoot afterwards, she gave us so many valuable suggestions in terms of acting and looking while we had the shooting. When we received the results of our photo shoot, we were impressed, the pictures were even better than expected! Paulina's personal touch in editing pictures is incredible."

Frequently asked questions
Where are you based?
We’re happy to call Paris and Provence our home. When we’re not working at our photo and video studios, we spend time between France in Paris, Provence, the French Riviera and Italy.
Can we book just one service, or do we have to book both?
Our partnership is at the core of Cadoret Studios, but we may work separately at times to offer individual photography and videography services. We also work with other skilled photo and video teams to provide a smooth and stress-free experience for our brides and grooms.
How and when will we receive our photos and film?
Your final wedding prints and digitals will be ready within 4 to 6 weeks after your big day. Every wedding album is personally curated upon careful selection and expert editing processes. Approximately, we provide between 40 and 60 images per hour. We ensure your film is captured with exceptional 4K quality. You will enjoy the cinematic experience on big screens or on smaller devices.
How do you price your photo and film services?
Each wedding is different and comes with its own particular set of needs. We quote every wedding, elopement, and portrait session on an individual basis depending on desired services, such as photography and/or videography, coverage time, and number of guests. Contact us and we will gladly assist you in making the best choice for your dream event.
Do you shoot film or digital?
Both. Being confident in both mediums allows us to bring digital and film cameras to your special day, and select the best option for every frame. Film creates exquisite timeless photographs akin to fine art paintings, while digital offers complete control over the pictures and lets us dance in and out during your “I Dos” with optimal discretion. We combine masterful editing techniques and a wide range of elegant photography skills to deliver flawless consistency. Visit our Portfolio to learn more about our style and distinct approach to photography.
Do you use drones?
Striking aerial shots add a captivating and spectacular touch to your wedding album. Cadoret Studios’ lead filmmaker, Ossa, is a certified drone pilot for commercial use. However, drone usage depends on factors like location, venue permissions, and weather conditions. We'd love to hear more about your event so we can make the necessary preparations to incorporate aerial drone footage.
Do you have backup equipment?
Absolutely. We use professionally maintained equipment only for both video and photography. Our gear is compatible with both photo and video, and we guarantee that everything is redundantly backed up. In the event of a technical issue with one device, we always have three others available as backups.
Do you record the audio?
Yes, we do record audio. For speeches, we use a lavalier microphone (also known as lav, or lapel mic) on the groom, plus a backup on the officiant, and connect it to the DJ soundboard. We will use any recorded audio that enhances the story in the final film.
How do I confirm my wedding date?
Once you have confirmed your date and selected your collection, we will provide you with a photography contract for your review. To secure your date, we kindly request that you sign and return the contract within approximately one week. Upon receiving the signed contract and a 50% photography retainer, your wedding date will be officially booked.
