A way of seeing, before a way of photographing

We are drawn to what is real.

The quiet in-between moments.
The gestures you did not realize happened.
The atmosphere of a place, and the way it holds your story.

Photography and filmmaking, for us, is not about creating moments.

It is about recognizing them.

So that years later, you can return not only to how it looked — but how it lived.

 

Getting Married or
Eloping in France & Europe

France remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the world for weddings and elopements thanks to its architecture, landscapes, cuisine and atmosphere. We regularly document celebrations in Provence, Dordogne, the French Riviera and the French Alps, as well as in neighbouring European destinations such as Italy, Iceland and Switzerland.

If you are travelling to Europe for your wedding, elopement or engagement session, we are available to document your story wherever it takes place.

Kind WORDS From OUR Couples

Nutchaya & Kane — Australia, Elopement in Italy

“Love their dedication, style, and simply everything about them. I almost gave up trying to find a photographer for my elopement in Europe until I came across Seiji Mori Studio, and who would have thought I would end up with 2 photographers instead of 1! Considering we were their first couple to do elopement, Clovis and Theeda were patient with our needs and helped organise everything from flowers to cake from local vendors. Besides this, Theeda is the master of weather prediction. We were worried about the evening being too cold, wet and foggy after several days of rains. However, we trust Theeda, ended up getting married on our plan B day, and it couldn't be more perfect. Thank you for making our fairytale elopement come true ♥️”

 
 

Chloe & Tom — UK, Intimate Wedding in France

“Looking for a phenomenal photography or your wedding day then congratulations because you have just come across Seiji Mori Studio and you've hit the money maker.

I cannot recommend these two enough. Tom and I got married in the Dordorgne area in France and we wanted more than just those typical candid shots that you see at most weddings (although beautiful in their own right of course). We wanted an edge and this was it; we are so happy with the results.

I need to mention how Clovis and Theeda were everywhere but never seen. They snapped photos without guests knowing and captured such good content and treasured memories. Yet, when we needed direction or advice they were there offering such professional help throughout the whole day.”


Xinong & Jacob — USA, Intimate wedding in France

“Clovis and Theeda are the most phenomenal wedding photographers we ever could have hoped for! Every photo they took is pure magic. Their photography was a blend of posed, candid, and planned. They set up photos to look good, and directed subjects to stand in the best places with optimal lighting. For moments like our first look photos or the ceremony, we were able to have very intimate and special moments without feeling self conscious about photos being taken. They also directed us very well for posed shots like our couples portraits. And their editing is fantastic! All the photos looked so dreamy, and really captured the spirit of the day.

Clovis and Theeda themselves are also wonderful people and an absolute pleasure to work with. They are highly communicative over email and messaging. They had very helpful advice for the timeline for the day, and were always willing to answer questions. All of our guests and our wedding planner said they were wonderful, and we love that they got shots of all the guests! Everyone who attended ended up with photos of themselves they loved. Thank you so much Clovis and Theeda!”

FAQ

Do you only photograph elopements and intimate weddings?

Yes. We focus exclusively on elopements and small weddings across France and Europe.

This allows us to create a calm, personal and intentional experience that wouldn’t be possible in large traditional weddings.

If you are planning a celebration with a small group or just the two of you, you are in the right place.

How do we know if we are the right fit?

Couples who choose us usually care more about the experience than the production.

You might be a good fit if:

  • big traditional weddings never felt right

  • you prefer natural moments over posed photos

  • you want your wedding to feel relaxed and meaningful

  • you’re travelling to Europe for your celebration

If this sounds like you, we will likely work very well together.

We feel awkward in front of the camera. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most couples feel this way.

You won’t be asked to pose all day or perform for the camera.
We give gentle guidance when needed, but most of the day is documented as it naturally unfolds.

The goal is for you to focus on each other, not on the camera.

Will you help us during the day?

Yes. While our approach is documentary, we guide when needed to help the day flow naturally.

This can include:

  • suggesting the best time for certain moments

  • helping with light and locations

  • keeping the timeline relaxed and realistic

You’ll never feel lost or unsure of what happens next.

Do you work as a team?

Yes. We are a photography and videography duo.

This means:

  • one shared vision

  • no coordination between separate vendors

  • a consistent style in both photo and film

  • a calm and seamless presence throughout the day

Where do you work?

We are based in France and regularly work across Europe.

Common destinations include France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain, but we travel anywhere your story takes you.

Do you travel for every wedding?

Yes. Most of the couples we work with are travelling for their wedding or elopement.

Travel is part of what we do.

Do we need to book photo and video together?

You can book photography only, or photography and videography together.

Most couples choose both because photo and film complement each other beautifully and allow you to relive the day in different ways.

How would you describe your style?

Authentic, documentary and cinematic with a retro spark.

We focus on real moments, genuine emotions and the atmosphere of the day rather than heavy posing or staged scenes.

How long until we receive our photos and film?

Typical delivery times:

  • Photo previews: within 1 week

  • Full gallery: 6–8 weeks

  • Films: 12–16 weeks

You’ll always receive previews shortly after the wedding.

How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 6–18 months in advance.

Popular dates fill quickly, especially from May to October.

Do you offer planning services?

We don’t replace wedding planners.

However, we share guidance and experience to help your day flow smoothly.
For full planning support, we always recommend working with a planner.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Payment can be split into multiple instalments to make the investment easier to manage.
