Alia
wedding and intimate events photographer
Dear Beauties,
Wedding and intimate events photography has been echoeing within my heart for years.
Creating an immersive experience together, out of time, surrounded by love and beauty, is a treasure to me. I am here to share a genuine experience with you, so I can reflect your soul, your beauty and your light through the images I take. I love capturing these special moments through modern, arty, refined, elegant and editorial vibes. I am passionate about creatives, art and beauty. I nurture my soul through art , music (I play the violin), films and poems, which gives me the inspiration to create something cinematographic and poetic.
I never really knew where this attraction for photography came from, until one day, at my grandfather’s home in Mauritius, I discovered his analog cameras, and English books on photography techniques. I equally saw my father’s analog cameras and his old pics from the 80s of my mother after their engagement! I had no clue I was going to take my career path towards photography. I was also very inspired by incredible photographers such as Henri Cartier Bresson, Lee Miller, and filmmakers with unique styles such as Terrence Malick (the Hidden Life), or Agnès Varda, to convey a cinematographic and contemplative vibe to the image.

« Je vais être honnête, voici ce qui risque fort d’arriver si vous confiez à Alia le soin de photographier votre mariage : 1• Des photos émouvantes, des photos hilarantes, des photos poétiques, des vues d’ensemble, ET les petits détails que vous n’aviez même pas remarqué vous-mêmes. 2• Être giga belle.s/beau.x gosses sur vos photos 3• Rigoler comme des baleines pendant les prises de vues à deux, et vous sentir à l’aise même si vous détestez être pris.e en photo 4• Être entourés de jolies attentions, d’une présence adorable et enveloppante (mais aussi hyper discrète quand il le faut !) et d’une vraie bienveillance tout au long de votre journée ! 5• Être complimentés abondamment par vos invités, qui trouvent tous votre photographe extraordinaire (true story) 6• Des souvenirs auxquels vous n’auriez jamais pensé (Alia nous a fait la surprise de photos longue exposition du ciel de la nuit de notre mariage ! WHAT ?! Et elles sont sublimes) Je ne sais pas exactement ce que j’attendais, mais le travail d’Alia était INFINIMENT au-dessus de tout ce que j’avais imaginé ! Nous sommes sur un petit nuage. Merci! »

« We met Alia at our friends‘ wedding in Paris where she took stunning wedding photos so we were more than happy to book her for our maternity shooting in London. Alia is a wonderful person and she took a lot of time and care to do beautiful photos of my wife and myself and capture those special moments. She is a great photographer, has a great eye for the right places, light, details - and it doesn’t take long until one feels completely comfortable around her (always positioned at the right spot in the right angle :)). She really cares for the photo shooting experience itself as well as beautiful final product. We would work with Alia again anytime! »

« Un œil bienveillant, redoutablement artistique qui permet d’encourager le lâcher prise, la créativité et in fine de saisir de magnifiques instants. Un travail préparatoire pour cerner le projet réalisé avec beaucoup de sérieux et professionnalisme et enfin de précieux conseils en termes d’univers et de style. Merci pour ce beau moment et surtout ces magnifiques photos ! »

« Highly recommend to work with Alia! We have worked with Alia on our wedding photoshoot in Paris. She is a great professional with incredible taste and attention to details. The photoshoot and the final result was exactly what we dreamed off. Alia also took her time to talk to us before the wedding to get to know us better and to better capture our characters on the photos, simply great individual approach. Look forward to working together on some other projects ! »
