Drone couple photography in Tahiti & Moorea

There's the French Polynesia you already picture, the one seen from the beach. And there's the one you discover from above, when the drone lifts and the lagoon suddenly reveals its shades of blue around the two of you.

It's another way to tell your story. A sense of scale no other angle can give you.

A new dimension, never a gimmick

Drone work isn't an effect added to look pretty. It's a point of view. The one that places your love inside the vastness of it all, the reef, the endless horizon, that turquoise water you'll only find here.

From above, you feel where you are. The space, the raw beauty of the place. And the two of you at the center of it, small and essential all at once.

How it fits into your session

Aerial drone photography slips into your couple session, it doesn't replace it. In practical terms, we plan an extra half hour.

Why? Because flight time is short. Fifteen to twenty minutes in the air, no more. Everything plays out in that window. Before takeoff we map out a little scenario together: what matters to you, which parts of the landscape to bring into the frame, how to tell a story rather than simply stand beneath the camera.

Nothing is left to chance. But there's always room for the unexpected.

One thing to know: the drone add-on needs to be planned at least fifteen days ahead of your session. That's the time I need to file flight plans and secure every authorization. Flying certified means exactly that. Nothing improvised, everything by the book.

Why we'll often shoot you lying down

From the sky, a standing couple almost disappears. All you see is the top of two heads.

So more often than not, we'll have you lie down, on the sand, in shallow water, on a dock. That's where the strongest images come from, the ones where your bodies trace a line, a gesture, a story that reads from above.

Over-water shots, the real showstopper

Here, images taken over the water are rare and beautiful. The blue, the clarity, the light passing through... from above, it's breathtaking.

Let's be honest: it asks for a little letting go. Being able to swim, feeling confident, staying truly relaxed in the water. It isn't for everyone, and that's perfectly okay.

If it matters to you, it's absolutely doable. We prep you beforehand, the welcome guide walks you through it, and you're guided every step of the way during the session. One rule only: these shots come at the end. It makes sense, once you're wet, there's no moving on to anything else.

So pack a change of clothes. And an outfit chosen with these shots in mind, something that flatters you in the water as much as under the open sky.

What you'll take home

A drone add-on doesn't work like the ground session. On the ground, I deliver every image worth keeping. The drone follows a different logic.

We pull three to five aerial shots. Chosen, striking, the ones that capture the moment and the scale of the place.

And we don't stop at stills. We also edit a short cinematic film, a minute at least. The movement, the light, the landscape unfolding... another way to relive your story, this time in motion.

A few powerful images, a film that breathes. That's the drone collection.

A word of honesty before I wrap up: the drone always depends on weather and authorizations. Wind, conditions on the day, restricted zones... sometimes it doesn't fly. I fly certified, by the rules. And your session stays beautiful no matter what.

• Is the drone included in the signature session?

  It isn't booked on its own. The Signature + Drone is your signature session and the drone together, one complete collection. Plan for an extra half hour on location, and book at least fifteen days ahead so I can file flight plans and secure the authorizations.

• How many aerial photos will I receive?

  Three to five aerial shots, chosen for their impact. Plus a short cinematic film, a minute at least. A different logic from the ground session, where I deliver every image worth keeping.

• What happens if the drone can't fly?

  Flying always depends on weather and authorizations. Wind, restricted zones, conditions on the day... sometimes it stays grounded. If that happens, your session stays whole and beautiful, we adapt on the ground.

• What should I invest for the Signature + Drone?

  The drone isn't booked on its own: it's the signature session and the drone together, one complete collection. In Tahiti, it starts from 90,000 XPF ( $870 USD), in Moorea from 105,000 XPF ($ 1,050 USD). The best way is to talk it through beforehand: I'll then send you a personalized link with all the details based on your project.
