Why i never negotiate my photography prices in Tahiti (and why it's better for you)
You've discovered my work. This way of writing ❤️ with light, these raw emotions captured in Tahiti's wild beauty...
You dream of living this signature experience.
Then you receive my quote. And there it is – that little heart pinch. The investment exceeds what you had imagined.
"Nicolas, can we shorten the session? Have fewer photos?"
I hear this question... sometimes. My answer remains the same: no.
Not out of rigidity. Out of deep conviction.
What you're not really buying
When you invest in a session with us, you're not paying for:
Time sliced into segments
A precise number of camera clicks
A service that can be shortened on demand
You're investing in something entirely different.
The Experience that can't be negotiated
That golden Tahiti light
When it caresses your skin at sunset? It can't be ordered by the minute. It appears when it wants, lasts as long as it lasts.
It's exactly in these moments that your most beautiful images are born.
That authentic connection
Between you and your loved ones? It takes the time it needs to unfold. Impossible to program or rush.
Your complete visual legacy
My sessions include minimum 75 photos. Often much more. Why? Because every moment matters. Every smile, every glance, every tender gesture deserves to be preserved.
You don't receive a reduced selection. You receive your complete story. And beyond the session's purpose of having photos, I promise you'll have an amazing time!
The story of a couple who got it
Recently, a young couple contacted me for their honeymoon. They loved my approach, but their budget was tight.
"Can we do something shorter? Fewer photos?"
I maintained my vision. My process. My standards.
"When you're ready for this complete experience, I'll be here."
They took time to think. To save. To truly choose this experience.
Result? They lived something exceptional. Understood why every minute mattered, why every photo had its place in their legacy.
Today, they thank me for maintaining my standards.
Why excellence doesn't get bargained away
The Experience can't be cut short
You can't ask the ocean to sparkle less or the sun to set faster. The experience we create together has its own rhythm, its own magic.
Expertise has value
25 years of experience in Polynesia. Training at ETPA Toulouse. Thousands of hours perfecting this art of writing ❤️ with light.
This expertise doesn't get bargained away.
You deserve the best
Accepting reduced quality means accepting that you deserve less.
That's not my philosophy.

What my clients really say
"We contacted Nicolas relatively last minute... The result exceeds our expectations, we find the photographer's signature we loved, the light, the natural feel. The photos are sublime."
"If there was a 6th star I would have given it without hesitation! This family session was very important to us and you managed to make it even more beautiful than expected."
"Both my husband and I are incredibly thankful to Nico and Amelie - they are the best photographers we could ever imagine hiring."
My philosophy: excellence as the only compromise
For over 10 years, Amélie and I have chosen quality over quantity. We prefer to accompany fewer clients, but offer them an exceptional experience.
Because some things in life are chosen. Earned.
Your most precious memories are among them.
Transparent investment for a signature experience
So you can plan serenely, my collections start around $450 USD. Most of my clients invest an average of $540-1,080 USD in their complete experience in Tahiti or Moorea.
This amount includes complete personalized guidance, preparation guide, signature session (about 90 minutes), all edited photos (75+ images), premium private gallery, and boutique access for professional prints.
Because your most precious memories deserve this investment.
If you've made it this far...
It's because you already understand the value of what we offer.
If you're ready to invest in memories that will cross generations...
If you want to live this complete experience, without compromise...
I'll be here when you're ready.
