Wedding Photographer - Paris based - Maison Roath

About me

My name is Dara, though most people know me as Roath.

I create wedding films and photographs for couples who seek more than beautiful images. Couples who value elegance, emotion, and a story told with intention.

My work is inspired by cinema, yet always remains grounded in authenticity. I am drawn to the moments that cannot be staged: a glance, a quiet gesture, the emotion in a voice, the atmosphere of a day that will never happen twice.

I believe wedding photography is not about perfection. It is about preserving what truly matters, with sensitivity, artistry, and a timeless aesthetic that will feel just as meaningful decades from now.

Every detail matters to me. The light, the composition, the rhythm, and the subtle moments unfolding between them. I work discreetly, allowing you to live your day naturally while I capture it with care and intention.

My style is refined, editorial, and deeply personal. My approach is entirely bespoke, designed for couples who appreciate beautiful things, but value meaningful experiences even more.

Based in France, I travel wherever remarkable stories take me.

To ensure the highest level of care and creativity, I intentionally accept only a limited number of weddings each season, allowing me to offer an experience that is truly personal and thoughtfully crafted.

You are not simply looking for beautiful photographs.

You want images that feel natural, elegant, and true to who you are. Images that capture not only how your wedding looked, but the atmosphere you created and the people who shared it with you.

My approach is simple: to observe carefully, guide gently when needed, and create photographs that are refined, authentic, and unmistakably yours.

If this vision speaks to you, I would be delighted to hear about your plans.

An Editorial Approach to Modern Wedding Photography

A First Glimpse of Your Wedding Film

Each wedding film is crafted as a unique and timeless story.

My approach combines cinematic imagery, authentic moments, meaningful audio, and the atmosphere of your day to create a film that feels both elegant and deeply personal. From your vows and speeches to the quiet in-between moments, every element is thoughtfully woven together to reflect your story with sincerity and refinement.

Rather than simply documenting your wedding, my intention is to create a film you will genuinely enjoy watching again and again, one that preserves not only how your day looked, but the people, emotions, and atmosphere that made it unforgettable.

Carefully filmed, meticulously edited, and crafted with intention, your wedding film becomes a lasting part of your family history, designed to be cherished for generations to come.
