Congratulations!
Working with La Petite Photo feels effortless and joyful, while behind the scenes you have a seasoned professional ensuring everything flows beautifully. My approach is relaxed and natural, offering quiet guidance when needed so your photographs feel elegant, effortless, and true to you. Before becoming a photographer, I studied art history at the Sorbonne in Paris and later worked with artists and collectors in a London gallery — experiences that continue to shape how I see light, composition, and human connection.
Whether you’re eloping in the desert landscapes of Joshua Tree or Palm Springs, exchanging vows in the forests of Idyllwild, or celebrating at one of Downtown Los Angeles’ iconic venues like SmogShoppe, Valentine, or Millwick, I bring professionalism, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of your day. You remain fully present with the people you love — laughing, celebrating, and savoring the moment — while I quietly craft the visual story you will return to for years to come.
"She exceeded every expectation we had. Not only are her photos absolutely stunning, but her kindness and warmth made the day even more special..” — Emily
We believe your wedding is more than just a series of beautiful images — it’s a celebration of love, connection, and the people who matter most to you.
“She made us feel comfortable and captured us so naturally. Every photo tells a story, and we couldn’t have asked for more.” — Tulani

They were really beautiful photos that captured the emotions of that moment. My partner and I took hours going through them together, laughing and crying in the best way. She made me feel so comfortable and special and it definitely shows in the photos.

Margot was the perfect wedding photographer! I could not have been more pleased with how our photos came out. How she managed to capture such special moments without us even noticing she was there is beyond me!

She caught the moments we wanted as well as who we are as a couple. They're memories we'll both treasure forever. She's friendly, very professional and very organized, easy and pleasant to work on top of being an amazing photographer.
