Wedding Photographer in Paris on Film and Digital

Candid, natural wedding, elopement and couple photography in Paris and beyond, captured in digital and 35mm film.

I’m Kutluer, a destination wedding and couple photographer, dividing my time between Paris and Rome.

I photograph people who don’t want to perform for the camera. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just natural moments, movement, and images that feel real long after they’re taken.

The work you see here is shaped by a slow, attentive way of working. I’m also a writer, and I define myself as a flâneur at heart, someone who walks, observes, and allows stories to unfold rather than forcing them.

I divide my time between these places for love, and because both Italy and France are countries where culture, gastronomy, and wine are taken seriously, as parts of everyday life, not luxuries. Rome and Paris suit this way of seeing. I photograph quietly, following light, atmosphere, and connection, wherever the story takes place.

Wedding Photography in Paris

Paris weddings don’t need to be loud to be meaningful.

I photograph intimate and medium-size weddings in Paris with a documentary approach. I stay close without interrupting. I observe rather than control. My focus is always on connection, atmosphere, and the small details that would otherwise disappear.

Coverage can be half-day or full-day, depending on your plans.

Digital photography is always included, with the option to add 35mm film photography for a more tactile, timeless layer to the story.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Paris with an honest, authentic, and stress free approach that leaves room for fun, we’ll likely get along.

Elopement Photographer in Paris

An elopement in Paris can be many things.

A quiet ceremony.
A long walk through unfamiliar streets.
A pause by the river. A coffee, a glass of wine, a breath between moments.

I photograph Paris elopements without scripts or strict timelines. We choose the light, we choose a rhythm, and we let the city become a backdrop rather than a stage.

Whether you’re planning a simple civil ceremony or something entirely your own, I’ll be there to document it with care and discretion.

Couple Photoshoot in Paris

Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera. Most of my couples tell me this at the beginning.

That’s fine.

Couple photoshoots in Paris are designed as walks, not sessions. We move, we talk, we stop when something catches our attention. You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide gently when needed and step back when it feels right.

These shoots are popular for engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply to mark a moment in your lives together.

A Story Built Around You

To plan the route and mood of our photoshoot, I’d love to get to know you a little better.

If you’re happy to share, tell me anything that feels meaningful to you.

It might be a place that matters to you as a couple, a square you feel drawn to, a street where a favorite film was shot, or a café mentioned in a book you love. If there are details like these, I’d love to weave them into our time together.

The things you enjoy in everyday life, your interests, and the way you spend time together, these small details help shape an experience that feels personal and unforced. The more I know, the more the photos can reflect who you are, not just where you are.

My Style​

My style is often described as candid and natural. I photograph moments as they unfold rather than setting them up, drawn to quiet gestures, shared laughter, and the small details that often go unnoticed.

My approach is shaped by documentary photography, cinema, and years of working with people who value intimacy over spectacle. I work with both digital and 35mm film: film for its timeless texture and tones, digital for the freedom to move and respond to everything happening around. Together, they allow me to tell a story with depth and warmth.

I photograph weddings of all kinds, from intimate ceremonies and elopements to engagements and honeymoons. Wherever I am, I work with the same sensitivity, following light, pauses, and connection rather than chasing landmarks. The result is a carefully edited collection of images that reflects what the day truly felt like, not what it was supposed to look like.
