Our story has taken us across Brazil, Ireland, Indonesia, Italy and France, before making Toulouse our home in 2017. Each place has shaped the way we see the world — giving us a naturally international perspective and a deep appreciation for different cultures, traditions and the people who bring them to life.


Perhaps more than anything, travelling has taught us to pay attention. To observe before we speak. To notice the details that might otherwise go unseen. And that instinct is at the heart of the way we photograph weddings.


Being twins has its own kind of language. We have an intuitive understanding of one another, an ability to anticipate what the other is seeing and a shared sensitivity to the atmosphere around us. On a wedding day, this allows us to work quietly and instinctively, each complementing the other without ever taking away from the experience itself.


Our approach is refined, natural and deeply observant. We are drawn to beautiful light, considered details, genuine emotion and the fleeting interactions that cannot be staged. We believe the most meaningful photographs often happen between the moments you planned — when a glance lingers a little longer, a hand finds another across the room, or laughter takes over entirely.


We speak English, French, Portuguese and Italian, and work with couples from around the world. Our own international journey has made us particularly comfortable in celebrations where cultures, languages and traditions come together. We understand the importance of honouring what makes each couple unique while creating an experience that feels effortless from beginning to end.


With more than 50 weddings photographed, we bring experience, calm and discretion to every celebration. We know when to offer gentle direction and, perhaps more importantly, when to step back and let the moment unfold.


Because your wedding day deserves to be lived — not performed for a camera.


Our role is to preserve it with intention, artistry and an attention to detail that will remain meaningful long after the flowers have faded and the last glass has been raised.


Photographs that don't simply show you what your wedding looked like, but allow you to remember exactly how it felt.

Let's connect:

BEYOND THE CAMERA

Before we spend one of the most important days of your life together, we thought you might like to know a little more about the two people behind the cameras amd what we love!


Taylor Swift


Yes, we went to the Eras Tour. Together. Obviously. We still haven’t recovered.


Friends


Our comfort show, our background noise, and probably one of the reasons we know so many useless quotes by heart.


Harry Potter


We grew up with it, so Hogwarts has always felt like a second home. We’re still waiting for our letters.


Travelling


We love discovering new places, getting lost in little streets, trying local food and experiencing the world together. Bonus points if there’s a beautiful view involved.


Cooking


Give us a kitchen, good ingredients and a few hours, and we’re happy. We especially love cooking for the people we love.


Good food & long dinners


A beautiful table, a bottle of wine, stories that go on for hours and absolutely no reason to check the time.


Dogs


We each have our own four-legged companion. Mônica has Nina, and Monique has Sapi. They may not be part of every wedding we photograph, but they definitely play a very important role in our lives — and we’re always happy when our couples bring their dogs along for the celebration.

We also run a French-language website for couples marrying in France who prefer to plan in French. Visit Photographe Toulouse (site en français).
