Day After shooting
in Tahiti and Moorea

Couple amoureux lors d'un shooting day after à Tahiti

What if you could relive the magic of your wedding day?

Your wedding day was incredible... but let's honest: it was also a marathon.

You looked stunning, you were happy, but you were also running everywhere. You’d have needed Hermione’s Time-Turner just to keep up with how fast the day flew by.

Between the group photos, Uncle Bob’s awkward speech, and the caterer chasing you down for the cake cutting… how many minutes did you actually get to just breathe and be together? 

And your couple photos? They’re lovely, but you were stressed. You were worried about staining the dress, your hair coming undone, or missing the cocktail hour. Not exactly the best time to truly let go.

Ready for an encore?

The wedding is over. The stress has faded. You’re finalizing your honeymoon in French Polynesia. And with a touch of nostalgia, you realize that the wedding high is starting to dip. 

You’re dreaming of a chance to slip back into that dress and play overtime. Why not do it during your honeymoon with your husband (still feels a bit weird saying that word, right?)?

Picture yourself on a beach in Tahiti, hair blowing in the breeze. Your bare feet sinking into the sand. Watching the sunset. You can almost hear Taylor Swift singing: “Say you’ll remember me, standing in a white dress, staring at the sunset, babe.” 

No guests desperate to chat, no caterers waiting on you, no “hurry, hurry.” 

Just the two of you. Relaxed, in your own little bubble. Soaking it all in, 100%.

A little secret from my own wedding day... 

When I got married, I realized just how much the day passes in the blink of an eye. You wake up, set up the last few details, make sure everyone is where they should be. You get ready. You try to swallow a few bites so you don’t faint…

And then… GO! The marathon begins. 

We laugh, we cry, we run in every direction—I even had to go pump milk (yes, that’s a true story #NewMomLife). 

By the time we hit the pillow that night, we realized we’d spent barely ten minutes alone. 

That’s why it’s so important to me to offer couples the chance to relive the magic. In total intimacy and without the constraints.

We often think that...

1. The magic ends once the party is over.

Let’s be real: the Big Day is the peak. But who says the magic has to stop at midnight like Cinderella?

2. The dress stays tucked away in a box.

You’ve had it in mind for years. You spent months finding it. You paid a fortune for it. It fits you perfectly. And you’re only supposed to wear it once? Honestly, who came up with that rule?

3. “The photographer? As long as they’re pro, it’s fine.”

Big mistake! Being comfortable is THE key to getting photos that actually look like you. Chemistry and a real connection with your photographer aren’t optional.

What if you had a "Day After" session worthy of a Hollywood movie?

Here you are in Moorea for your honeymoon. You saw plenty of photos of Polynesia while planning this trip, but nothing prepared you for this. It’s even more beautiful in person. It feels like a movie set. It’s surreal. 

You packed your wedding dress. Emotions rush back as you both get dressed up again. You think back to your wedding day, and you can’t wait to create more memories in this little corner of paradise.

You meet your photographer, who picks you up in her car. Together, you head off on an adventure. She takes you to several iconic spots around the island. You admire the landscapes, hardly believing you’re about to have stunning photos taken in a place like this. You just let go and enjoy the ride.

You end up fully dressed in the ocean. You never thought you’d experience something like this. 

This isn’t just a random photo shoot. You’re creating real memories.

So,
how does it work?

Before we bring out the dress and the cameras, we talk: your style, your vision, the vibe you’re going for. I’ll then suggest a custom 3-hour itinerary. 

On the day of the shoot, we meet up, we laugh, we explore, and we take photos without you ever feeling like you’re “posing.”

I’ll guide you a bit, but mostly… I capture the moments where you’re just being yourselves.

And why not end on a high note: a little splash in the lagoon?

After the session...

I carefully sort, select, and edit your photos to deliver an online gallery that will allow you to relive this moment over and over again.

We might not be a match if...

…you’re looking for a quick session with stiff, ultra-posed photos. Or if the idea of letting loose and getting your dress wet terrifies you.

Let me answer your questions

1. Why do you recommend 3 hours for a Day After session?

As you’ve probably guessed, this isn’t “just” a photo shoot—it’s an experience. You need time to fully live it. In 3 hours, we can explore several locations and create images with completely different vibes. Plus, you don’t get to put your wedding dress back on every day, so you might as well make the most of it!

2. How far in advance should we book?

The earlier, the better, to guarantee my availability—especially if I need to travel to other islands, which involves logistics (ferry/flights, accommodation, etc.).

3. Do you charge travel fees?

Not for Tahiti, but for other islands, yes. I travel everywhere, but transport (flights, ferry) and accommodation are not included in my standard rates. I’ll provide a custom quote based on your destination. 

4. What should I bring on the day of the session?

Your joy and good vibes! Otherwise, I recommend mosquito repellent, a towel, and a change of clothes. 

Ready to have some fun?

Tell me everything: your vision, your dream backdrop, the vibe you’re imagining…

And don’t forget your travel dates.

You can also send me your availability so we can hop on a call.
