You know that moment, just before everything speeds up?
That in-between moment, between “we’re organizing everything” and “it’s becoming real”?

That’s exactly where an engagement session fits.
✸ A breath.
✸ A pause.
✸ A bubble.
Nothing to tick off. Nothing to prove.
Just the two of you, soft light, an atypical place, and us to tell this moment.
And the magical bonus: these images can be used for your invitations, light up your wedding website, or become memories to display at home. But even without all that, it’s a true experience to live — like a loving rehearsal before the big leap.

When C & M told us they wanted a setting “off the beaten path” — a place with character, soul, color — we knew.
It had to be there.
The Colorado Alsacien. Yes, it really exists.
This magical corner of Alsace, between abandoned mines and ochre hills, is a hidden gem. It’s called “Colorado” for a reason:
Fiery red ground, wind-sculpted cliffs, towering trees standing in silence.
And when the sun starts to set? It feels like a movie scene.
That day, nature switched to “perfect light mode”:
Long shadows, western-style
A clear, almost unreal sky
Warm light gently touching faces
And a living silence, broken only by their laughter

With C & M, no long speeches were needed. Just sparkling eyes, tender gestures, disarming spontaneity.
We started walking, without a strict plan.
Camera in one hand, instinct in the other.
They ran, walked, jumped in the dust.
They teased each other, hugged, sometimes stopped just to breathe.
And us? We were there — discreet but present.
Watching for the right light, the true gesture, the quiet detail.
And we captured everything in photo AND video.
Two sensitivities. Two perspectives. One shared vision:
to capture what’s real, without tricks or artifice.

We could give you a list of “10 tips for the perfect session”, but honestly… who needs that?
So let’s keep it simple:
Be yourselves.
We don’t want to turn you into a Pinterest couple or make you play a role.
Come as you are. Come as you are.
Sneakers or boho dress, chill vibe or rock energy — we don’t care.
If it’s sincere, it will be beautiful.
And the location? We choose it together.
An Auvergne volcano, an enchanted forest, a low-tide beach, a city rooftop?
We’ll take you there.

What we love most about this job?
When, afterwards, we look at the images… and we still feel everything.
This engagement shoot in the Colorado Alsacien wasn’t just a pretty session.
It was a dance between two people in love.
Light falling at the perfect moment.
A breeze lifting a strand of hair.
And us? We were there. Moved.
Invisible and fully present at the same time.
Because that’s how we tell stories:
capturing emotion without ever forcing it.
Do you want an engagement session that feels like you, that breaks the mold, that speaks about love without words?
Do you want more than a shoot — a mini-adventure, a precious pause in the rush of “planning a wedding”?
Then write to us.
We can’t wait to listen to you, understand you, and create with you a perfectly imperfect moment.

What is an engagement session, really?
A short photo/video session before the wedding, to create a calm, pressure-free moment together.
We’re not comfortable in front of the camera… help?
Perfect. We love “normal” people (that’s our comfort zone). We guide you gently to capture authenticity, never forcing anything.
Where can we do it?
Anywhere! Forest, mountains, city, or a secret spot we keep up our sleeve. We’ll decide together.
Is video included?
Yes! We work as a duo. Photo + video = double the emotions.
How long does it last?
Usually 1.5 to 2 hours — but we don’t watch the clock if the moment feels right (we’re not robots).
How do we book?
An email, a DM, a voice note saying “Hi, it’s us, we want you” — we love all formats.
