People often ask me why I moved from Europe to the Pacific, and how I offer pictures that stand out from the competitive market of Bora Bora & the Pacific Islands. Well, I am a wedding and honeymoon photographer with a soft spot for natural light and luminous colors, and I’m in love with the islands. My approach is to combine fine art and aerial techniques to capture beautiful, sincere, and timeless images. My goal is to craft vibrant, luminous, fine art images that are as unique as the people in the photographs.
The story
I have been fascinated by the visual arts since my childhood. I met my husband Ossa at university when I was studying art history. With my artistic background and Ossa’s personality and skills ( IT engineer, drone pilot and photographer, traveler and eternal optimist), we developed our know-how and honed our skills together while working as destination wedding photographers all over the world. A few years ago, we threw caution to the winds and left Paris to settle and work in Bora Bora, Tahiti and the surrounding islands.
We believe in the power of the visual: not only is a good photograph an object of beauty and art, but it can also revive the most fleeting and fragile life experience. Joy, pride, desire, intimacy, affection, happiness – we aim to make them last. We excel in both digital and analog photography. We know the advantages of each method and make the best of them both, in accordance with the tastes and wishes of our high-end clientele. We have been published in world-acclaimed magazines and blogs such as Harper’s Bazaar, Pacific Weddings, Trendy Bride, and we have won international prizes such as Fearless and ISPWP.

"When we set out to find a photographer in Bora Bora, we were not hopeful that we would find a fine art film photographer in the French Polynesia. So when we did find Paulina Cadoret, we felt like we won the lottery! Paulina and Ossa are true storytellers and they find and evoke so much beauty in every shot. We loved spending time with Paulina and Ossa and the photos we received went beyond what we expected."
Oh My God! The picture are all amazing! I can't express how much we love those photos. Thank you for capturing such unique and timeless moments of fun, happiness, and love for us. You are so passionate and professional about creating the perfect lighting. It was so refreshing! Not to mention how nice and easy you were to work with.
"We are a couple from Hong Kong and we had a fantastic experience with Paulina & Ossa! It was a great pleasure to have them with us in our wedding. The wedding can only get better with such a joyful and resourceful photographer. She was always well prepared but also has an innate capacity in improvising. She has the ability to capture the precious moments and we will cherish all the lovely photographs they have taken for us!"
Paulina and Ossa are a dream team to work with. They listen carefully to your expectations and offer insightful suggestions to achieve them. We have always been pleased with their work and feel confident that our goals will be met on every project. They are also kind and patient, which is always appreciated during a time sensitive and stressful shoot!
"Being that I come from the fine art business world and Jules is a keen art lover, we were looking for a truly special photographer. We knew we had found this when I discovered Paulina Cadoret and saw exactly the type of quality, emotion and artistry we were looking for in Paulina Cadoret’s photos."
