Q: How can couples find reviews of France wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements.

Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Q: Where can I find a photographer for a short-notice, small France wedding?
A: There are many WPJA photographers who are able to help you out at a moment's notice. We understand that sometimes love happens and there's simply no time to lose.

A big thank you to you, Gaëlle who knew how to capture all our emotions during our wedding day. Thank you for your availability, your empathy and your professionalism. The current is quickly passed between us, which makes the photos even more beautiful! Beautiful stolen photos that correspond perfectly to our expectations. Thank you again for all these photos that will allow us at any time to relive this unforgettable day.

We received your wonderful gift of a USB stick yesterday and cannot thank you enough for what was within! They are just amazing - all of them. Just breathtakingly stunning! I cried when I viewed some of them as it was like re-living the day all over again (I cried then too of course). We are so pleased. I have had to look at them again and again as each time I do, I see more and more, which is an incredidle feat to achieve. Your mirror work is outstanding - what a talent. I have sent some to Emma and she is thrilled and even James liked what he saw - which is a first. We now have the task of choosing some favourites which will be very difficult. Thanks again for everything - for the day itself and your wonderful presence, and especially for the pictures which are just phenomenally brilliant. I have *** to thank as he wasn't available and recommended you, so if you see him do tell him. What a find you were, so pleased he was booked (don't tell him that bit!) Thanks again and take care and keep up the outstanding work. I shall continue to look at your blog and view your work as I have a deep appreciation of what you produce. In fact, to be able to re-produce emotions through pictures that will last forever is quite unusual and requires skill and talent. I have seen many other photographers sites and some do not really capture it.

It was a real pleasure to have you Loïc for the photos of our wedding this April. A very pleasant first contact by email, an impeccable organization that allowed the day to go smoothly! A real professionalism throughout our exchanges. you were attentive to all our requests and you made a lot of effort to adapt to our French/English guests, which was appreciated by all. The photos trace the day and the emotions to perfection. If you are looking for a photographer who works with respect and delicacy while offering photos full of feelings, I can only recommend Loïc. Thanks again.
