Melissa Photography · Paris

How I work
I stay discreet so you can just be yourselves. For a proposal, we plan the spot and the timing together beforehand, then I blend into the crowd like any other tourist with a camera. Your partner won't suspect a thing.
I speak French, English and Arabic, which makes life easy for couples visiting Paris and for families from different cultures on a wedding day.
Every session ends in a private online gallery: full resolution, password-protected, easy to download and share.
