What would you like couples to know about Couplet Photography?
Based in Paris, Agata of Couplet Photography captures wedding celebrations, fashion and editorial projects in Europe and beyond. With a background in documentary photography her work showcases natural beauty with a touch of glamour and nostalgia.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Paris, but often travel for weddings or other photography projects.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! When I’m not shooting fashion or weddings in Paris, I’m usually on the way to capture celebrations abroad. I'm able to offer a limited number of weddings every year to be able to devote the attention and energy each of them deserves.
What inspires you?
A conversation, an overheard story, fashion, sculpture, painting, gestures and quirks, connection, familiar in the unfamiliar.
How would you describe your working style?
One of my clients described me as stealthy, which made me laugh, it’s a sweet compliment. It's true that I prefer to leave the smallest footprint on the wedding day, observing rather than intervening too much. The portrait shoot, which I really love doing, is the moment when couples can expect some guidance so we create something beautiful together, while the rest of the day will unfold naturally without my intervention.
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
Both.
Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?
Always! My offer is built around the event and specific preferences. My couples often choose to hire me for a welcome reception before the wedding too. It's a great occasion to capture those moments when family and friends meet - sometimes for the first time. It's also a lovely moment to sneak out for a couple of portraits in a beautiful venue.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
Parisian elopements and couple shoots - forever favourites for the full freedom of doing anything your heart desires. No rules or unlimited options. Pure decadence in one of the most beautiful places in the world!
A wedding with a welcome reception. It allows me to tell the full story with friends and family meeting, speeches, new friendships forming, first toasts at the sunset. It also helps everyone to get used to having someone with the camera around.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
New York, Marrakech, Los Angeles, Japan, Nigeria,
Who is your dream client?
Someone who lives their life fully, appreciates art, design, fashion.
What is your advice to couples getting married?
The most meaningful and beautiful photos happen when you’re having the best time, and that’s what you’re going to remember when you look at these photographs. Don’t think too much about mood boards, forget about the results and enjoy yourself, kiss, hug, dance and laugh! Before you know it it’ll be the last toast so be fully present and live it to the max. Put your phone away for the day and spend as much time as you can with all your favourite people.
Get a planner - they take huge pressure and logistics off your shoulders. They will spend weeks designing your day to reflect with taste and style who you are. Thanks to the planner the day will run smoothly, so you can fully take it all in and be in the moment.
