Oriental wedding photographer based in Paris

If you're looking for an oriental wedding photographer in Paris or anywhere else in France, you've certainly come to the right website. If you're looking for candid, real-life photos, then my documentary and reportage approach is just what you're looking for. I invite you to take a look at this portfolio, which is a little unusual in that it is 100% oriental. I can show you this approach to oriental wedding reportage in pictures. I also have a complete classic wedding portfolio, representative of the diversity of my brides and grooms. It's the main portfolio on the site, in the wedding section. The one below is made up exclusively of photos taken within the Oriental "community".

My approach to oriental wedding photography

It's exactly the same as for any kind of wedding, regardless of customs or origins. On the other hand, it's certain that my own origins and my Arab-Muslim culture make me feel very much at ease, and one might say "like a fish in water". 

In our culture, we have to listen to each other perfectly, because orality has a higher value than it does in Western culture. So I'm particularly attentive to the requests of the bride and groom and those close to them. I don't hesitate to ask for important information about the couple's personality, family background, relationship to religion and certain aspects of photography.

There's also a real generational divide between our parents and ourselves, and we need to synchronize our communication and behavior. Don't forget that on the big day, the photographer is in contact all day with your closest friends, family and guests.

Oriental Wedding Photographer and Videographer in Paris

A complete media team: photographer + cameraman

Thanks to my collective, I regularly work with other photographers and cameramen, whose full services I offer as an option. 

We produce the complete film and clip of your wedding 4 months after your wedding. The clip and film are delivered on a USB key, as for photography, and via web transfer. The photographer+videographer package is available from 4 hours presence to full coverage. We also produce pre-wedding and day-after clips. 

From the preparations to the cake and more

In Paris or elsewhere, I can cover your entire oriental wedding with a videographer if required. As soon as preparations begin, I join you to take photos of the dress, wedding rings, jewelry, make-up, hairstyle and wedding dress. In Paris, we sometimes start very early. I also take photos of your immediate family during this time. We then accompany you to the wedding procession, the town hall, the couple's session, the cocktail party and the Oriental evening. If necessary, we'll accompany you with a cameraman until the pièce montée or the end of the evening.

Reservations and prices for an oriental wedding 

My services start at 1,200 euros in high season for partial photo coverage, but I also offer packages for a complete presence from the start of preparations to the end of the evening. For off-season and weekday weddings, I offer mini-formulas by the hour (from 2 hours for 300 euros). The video option starts at 1500 euros.

Some packages can include books and prints, and there are also plenty of à la carte services for books, art prints, photobooth, cameraman, second shooter, engagement or Day-After session. I only give full details of my offers after an initial exchange by e-mail or telephone.

Bookings are made more than 6 months in advance for weddings in high season (April to September), and time is a precious ally in obtaining the most beautiful photos. It allows for several contacts before the big day, and why not an engagement session to get to know each other better in front of and behind the lens. So don't hesitate to contact me as soon as possible.

Oriental Wedding partners I recommend

Over the years, I've worked with a wide range of partners on every wedding, and it's important for me as a photographer to help the bride and groom make the best possible choices for the big day. The reason is simple: beautiful decoration, a beautiful atmosphere, good organization, a good meal and perfect service are important conditions for the serenity of the bride and groom and their loved ones. They also make the photographer's job easier, since the aesthetics of the photo will depend very much on the venue and its decor. The atmosphere and well-being of the bride, groom and guests will also depend on the quality of the catering and DJ services. That's why I've chosen to share with you here 2 Parisian addresses that operate throughout France and are particularly well suited to Oriental weddings. Their know-how, human qualities and services are well known and particularly relevant to Oriental weddings.

Kahina, Wedding Event Designer, will surprise you with trendy, modern decorations tailored to your desires. She creates the table plan, the guest book, the candy bar and above all the floral decorations, in a romantic oriental, vintage or country style, depending on the bride and groom. Don't hesitate to visit her website and contact her as soon as possible.

For catering services, I recommend Les Enfants Terribles, a halal caterer whose quality is beyond reproach. I've come across them at many weddings, and their service is always impeccable. Les Enfants Terribles combines halal gastronomy with a team that takes great care of the bride and groom.

The bride and groom's opinion

Sonia & Lui

Karim is a super professional photographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Thank you for your responsiveness and professionalism (...)

Ines and Ibrahim

(...) They gave us the most beautiful photos we could have had, full of emotion. (...). Everyone told us how much they loved the wedding photographer, you seduced all our friends and all the young couples at our wedding, so we'll certainly be seeing each other again very soon, as our friends now swear by you for their wedding photos.

Stephanie and Ahmed

I don't even know where to begin to describe Karim's work... I honestly don't think I could have had a better photographer than him. He knew how to capture the right moments and put us at ease, both the bride and groom and our guests. Without exception, all our photos were magnificent, and even made our guests cry. If you're looking for a nice, discreet, professional photographer who will bring out all the emotion in your photos, then go for it! Once again, thank you so much for your work.
