A Touch of French Romance

Nadege captured both our engagement and wedding beautifully. She was accommodating for times and locations and didn’t need our direction on site. Her wedding album is high quality and one of our favorite possessions! We were most appreciative of all of the photos we had to choose from. She has a natural eye for capturing the joy and love at any event!

Nadgene was an amazing photographer. I was planning a wedding in two months and I still needed a photographer .
I was recommended to her. I called her and the next day I was already meeting her. She showed me her work and I loved it.
She took my engagement photos that next weekend. She understood I was in a rush and was accommedating. She
Took our pictures at the Disney concert hall and they came out so beautiful. She gave me the USB of all the pictures.
The day of my wedding she showed up an hour early and photographed me while I was getting ready.
The whole wedding went so fast and when I knew it we were done. Before she left she asked me what other
Photos I wanted? She said she didn’t want to leave until she made sure I got all the pictures I wanted.
I recommend A Touch of French Romance for your special day. Nadege was very friendly and nice.
Thank you for giving such beautiful photos. And thanks for remembering to take my veil off and placing my hair clip. I totally forgot. Thanks for going above and beyond.

I found this photographer at a long beach wedding expo and she was by far one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I purchased an engagement and wedding package and couldn’t have been happier. Not only were her photographs amazing but she also was my wedding helper as she helped me with my dress when it got in the way. I’m so happy with her work. After we got married, we suffered some unexpected challenges and still a year later we are just putting together our wedding album and she has been nothing but accommodating. I am so excited to relive our wedding day when we receive our album and have already booked her as our photographer do our maternity pictures. Thank you again Nadege for your excellent work. You were a gem at our wedding.

I found Nadege just searching for a photogapher online for our wedding that took place 10÷12÷14. We had visited with 4 photographers prior and either their poor presentation or high costs we couldn’t settle on anyone. Then I talked with Nadege and we met in person and pretty much signed on the spot with her. She had the most confidence that I have ever witnessed in one’s profession that we immediately felt a close bond and that she was reasonably priced and very organized. Prior to the actual wedding she kept us informed via emails and texts. On the day of our wedding, she kept the entire wedding party on a timeline that was just to die for. We had so many people tell us who was your photographer? She was on point, professional and so nice. She even went out of her realm and laced up my dress! I had a pendant from a very special friend who is deceased and I couldn’t figure out how to wear it and she somehow incoperated it in my shoe and onto the wedding pictures which made it special for me. In our package we received a canvas picture which knocked our socks off. The amount of pictures she took not only of the wedding party but of our guests with us in the pictures. One thing she also did is take a picture of all 90 guests in one picture. I recieved the album book yesterday but that is only becasue we dragged our feet. I was speechless. If you need a photographer that is passionate and knows what she is doing you need to go with her. We are so happy we did!!! The Cejkas 10÷12÷14

I discovered Nadege, the photographer, at a Wedding show held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. What she had to displayed in her booth grabbed my attention. I was instantly drawn to the designs of her guestbook and wedding albums. They were both flush mount books and I noticed the creativity and how well organized and personalized these books were. I asked Nadege who designed them and she stated herself. I complimented her deeply. I took one of her flyers and stated I would be calling her to set up an appointment.
My fiancé and I met with her early October 2013 at her home where she showed us various designs and concepts for the guestbook and wedding album. When we told her we both love gardens and she instantly knew how she would design the book. She offered great packages and tips for making good pictures.
On the day of our wedding she brought us our Guestbook, and Oh! How beautiful it looked! Several people complimented how great it was. Nadege worked very well with us before the ceremony trying to get many pictures taken. She took wonderful pictures during the ceremony and after, at least a good hour during the cocktail hour. She took several poses and different places outside before going into the Reception. She took any pictures we requested with our guests and was very creative with group pictures.
Nadege has a gift for taking great pictures using different lighting effects and background lighting as well.
I highly recommend Nadege and A Touch of French Romance Photography. We are so thankful to have found a very personable and friendly creative person to do our photography for our wedding.
Thank you, Nadege!

Nadege is truly one of the best photographers out there! She knows exactly what she is doing and she was amazing! She even went as far as helping all of our groomsmen’s out by pinning their boutonnières on when they were having trouble. She knows all the ins n outs of all proper wedding etiquette, Nadege needs no guidance or instructions on how to capture the perfect shot. We were extremely pleased in how beautiful all of our wedding photos came out! We highly recommend you in using her services for she will not disappoint but will only ooh and aww you with her fabulousness!

I met Nadege at one of many bridal shows and I am very happy I did indeed. We had her come to Hawaii to shoot our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Nadege didn’t just take pictures, her photos captured the feeling of the event as well. If you are looking for someone to do more than just snap a picture but create memories for you than you have to look no further than A Touch of French Romance!

Nadege is fantastic! ! She takes beautiful photos. Every moment of my wedding was captured to the last tear. She is super passionate about her work and really trues to get your personality to come through in the photos she takes. I highly recommend her company and to try to stay involved as much as you possibly can with her because the more she knows you the more it shows in her work. 5 stars, all the way!

Nadege was very professional and creative and she captured all of the important moments. Our pictures turned out beautifully. The albums she creates are wonderful and one of the main reasons we used her services. She did our engagement and wedding pictures and we would definitely use her again for any other event we have.

I found Nadege at a bridal expo and got a really amazing deal from her. She was far more reasonable than anyone else I could find, and the quality was just as good. We ordered just he basic cd so we could just whatever photos we wanted, she took so many, we had so many different options to choose from. I was over very pleased with her and would recommend her to any other bride.

Nadege was amazing. I met Nadege near Christmas in 2010 when she took a photoshoot of me, my fiancé and our dogs. She was so easy to work with that when it came time for our wedding we knew right away we wanted to use her. She helped us design our backyard and decorations before the wedding to get the best results of our photos. She worked effciently and was always on time. Our photos turned out great, we couldnt’ have asked for better memories captured. Not only were our photos great, she put together a beautiful slideshow on DVD along with a printed book of our event.

I met Nadege at the Queen Mary Bridal Expo. Since I had just come back from a trip to France, I was intrigued by her and her business.
My husband and I loved working with her. She gave us a great deal, made us feel comfortable, and kept in contact by email consistently, so that I could review all the photos before the final album was ordered.
Nadege seemed to really love her work. She gave us a second, free, engagement shoot because «she» was not happy with the photos from the first shoot.

My wife found Nadege at a bridal show and liked the samples she had. She did both our engagement and wedding photos and both came out great. We were not very comfortable in front of the camera and she gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the process.
The wedding book she provides as part of her service is first class. People are always impressed when they see it. I’m not sure how her prices compare to other photographers out there because my wife never let me see the bills on anything for the wedding but I would highly recommend her whatever the cost is.

We found nadege at a bridal show in 2010. We had visited various bridal photographers and no one understood what we wanted, when we met with her we explained we wanted a mad men themed engagement photo style at union station in DTLA she started flowing with ideas and understood what we wanted and got us excited for the shoot. The day came and she was sooo much fun, nothing felt fake or staged. A few says later she emailed me the proofs as this was to be used as our guest sign book. Everyone at my wedding In early 2012 LOVED it! My patents were over the moon with it and they decided to order a wedding book of their own as they realized how amazing her work is. The day of our wedding she wasn’t just the photographer she was there to help any way she could, I forgot to get the pens for people to use to sign (she left to buy them) my earring broke before I left the house (she fixes it with string lol)
After the wedding she sent me again proofs by email and I was always in communication with her on what changes I wanted and she would fix them to my satisfaction. When we got our wedding book it was not the one we ordered she sent me 2 of the thinner ones I called her and told her we had paid for the thicker ones she apologized and said she would correct it and did! I offered to send her the wrong books back but she said to keep them so that was very nice of her as any other person would have not done that, she has also ordered more photos then what our package was for and didn’t change us extra for it. Sorry if I’m rambling but we truly loved how she captured our day. I would highly recommend her

I found Nadege at a bridal show and was originally drawn to her because she was so affordable. Wedding photographers can be SO expensive, but we found a package we liked that included an engagement photo session and booked her.
I wasn’t terribly pleased with our engagement shoot; we had it done at the beach (our second choice since our first had been rained out) and we had to stare directly into the glaring sun the whole time. My husband is pretty light sensitive, so he was squinting in all the pictures. When Nadege saw the photos, she said she would like to shoot another session for us for free because the first one was pretty bad. We were allowed to keep all the pics from both sessions.
Our guest book was a photo album of engagement photos with space to write in the pages, which was also included in the package. The pages are nice and thick.
She was wonderful during the wedding; we got lots of shots an she stayed well into the reception. She mailed us four CDs of all our photos within two weeks of the wedding. Our wedding album is beautiful and SO many prints were included in our package.
She has an abrasive personality at times, but she gets stuff done. I would definitely recommend her; she was one of the best choices we made for our wedding.

For starters, Nadege’s photos are beautiful. We used her for our engagement photos & our wedding on 10/​29/​2011. For our engagement shoot she was professional, creative, kind and fun to work with. We wanted to use our engagement photos as our guest book at our wedding. Nadege showed me a guest book she was working on that she said was designed by her. Awesome!
However, a week before the wedding I realized I had not seen a proof of the engagement book that was to be made. We didn’t have any special requests, but I’m a detailed person.
The guest book was a huge mess. My middle name was spelled wrong (it’s Elizabeth) and there were pages in the book we never knew were going to be added. If we had known, we would have asked them to be removed or replaced with something else.
Like the family pages. One page for the bride’s parents, grandparents (fraternal & maternal) etc. and the same for the groom. We don’t know anything about my husband’s dad or his family & the whole subject of his father is something we don’t ever bring up because it is awful to think about. But here it is plain as day in our wedding guest book.
Then the pages for the bridal party. Spaces to fill in the lines for maid of honor, best man, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl & ring bearer. Well guess what? There weren’t enough lines for our bridal party! We always planned on a maid of honor, matron of honor, two best men, 5 bridesmaids, 5 groomsmen & 2 flower girls. Always. That never changed. Yet the book only had enough lines for ½ of the wedding party!
I let Nadege know how the pages needed to be changed & even provided different photos to replace the pages. She informed me that the book was from a template already printed. If we wanted a replacement book, she would charge us $ 80 and hope that it arrived by the wedding day.
Needless to say we were less than thrilled. She then printed STICKERS of our photos to place over the wrong pages (see photos). The stickers were transparent enough to see the empty lines behind them AND they were lifting in the corners! Completely unacceptable.
Then came the wedding day. Jessica the assistant photographer was wonderful. Arrived early to scout good spots at the church & was awesome to work with. Nadege arrived 30 min late, rushed thru my prep photos & basically started my wedding day more stressed out than I ever needed to be. She also called me Tiffany for the first 2 hours. My name is Stefanie. How insulting is that!!!
The wedding photos came out great from both Nadege & Jessica. Our wedding book was VERY nice. Hard bound book with thick pages. It’s beautiful. But I also had to go over every single page & background myself because the order Nadege had them in didn’t makes sense to me at all. Basically, I arranged the album & she had it printed & shipped. For crying out loud, she had put in the wrong day of our wedding on the cover of the book!
Nadege Barne’s photos are beautiful. Her professionalism & customer service skills are horrible. There are plenty of great photographers in Southern California. Choose another one.
