Coralie Pasche

Coralie Pasche is a professional photographer and retoucher in the Valais. Her business address is in Nax, and she works from SPHÆRE Studio in the center of Martigny, which she shares with David D'Agostini. Weddings are one of several services, listed under reportage alongside events, and the rest of her site covers portraits, boudoir, fashion and editorial, corporate, architecture and product photography. The site is in French.

Her wedding approach

The wedding page, headed "Photographe Reporter" and "Célébrons l'amour !", is a single statement of intent. As a wedding photographer, she writes, her main aim is to make images that reflect the essence and key moments of the day "de manière authentique et artistique", in an authentic and artistic way. In short, she produces a set of images that document the event and also tell a story unique and personal to each couple.

Her home page adds a little more about how she works with people: she describes her approach as based on sharing and trust with her clients, with kindness and inclusivity. The reportage section of the home page lists weddings, company launches and sporting events among the occasions she covers, with the aim of fixing those moments with creativity and sensitivity.

Background

Photography has been her passion for as long as she can remember, and she says she made it her profession from the age of 14. She trained at the CEPV in Vevey in 2012, building skills in photography and retouching. In 2014 she took a course in visual communication to explore film, but retouching became her real passion, which she refined through intensive training. In 2018 she became the photographer for Les Boutiques Angeloz in Fribourg, specializing in e-commerce and fashion photography, with editorial shoots, video capsules and product photography.

In 2023 she set up on her own as "Coralie Pasche - Photographie | Retouches", and in 2024 she created SPHÆRE Studio with David D'Agostini, a project she describes as their shared vision of visual creation.

The retouching background is worth a word for wedding couples. Her home page calls her a "Retoucheuse qualifiée", a qualified retoucher, and says every photo she delivers is carefully retouched, with respect for ethics and kindness. For couples who want polished, well-finished pictures, that is a real strength; couples who prefer a very raw look can say so.

The studio in Martigny

SPHÆRE Studio is at Rue du Léman 12, 1920 Martigny. The studio page says it is a few steps from the station and close to the place de Rome, and that you can walk there from the station in a few minutes. It is on the second floor of the building, with a lift, and is easy to reach in a wheelchair. Drivers will find paid parking nearby at the place de Rome.

Inside, the page describes a fully equipped studio with professional gear, a palette of colored backdrops, a wooden parquet floor and a blue accent wall. There is a welcome area with a sofa and a large mirror, a high table with stools for a coffee and a chat, and a kitchenette with a microwave, coffee machine and fridge. A large table seats up to six people for meetings. For a wedding, the studio is most useful as a place to meet her before the day, or for a separate portrait session.

Hours and contact

She is available Monday to Friday from 9h to 17h, and on Saturdays and Sundays by appointment. Contact is by email at info@coraliepasche.ch or by phone on +41 78 611 12 78. The footer links to a FAQ, practical information, general terms and a partnerships page, and the site has a shop section.

Prices the site does publish

There is no wedding price on the site. Her CV portrait page does show her pricing for a short studio session, which gives some sense of her level: CHF 150 for a shoot of about 20 minutes, in one outfit, against a white, gray, blue or black background, with two photos of your choice professionally retouched and delivered digitally as color JPGs in high and low definition through SwissTransfer. Options include a contextual portrait for CHF 100, extra images at CHF 50 and black-and-white processing at CHF 10, and there is a student rate of CHF 90. The wedding offer is clearly on a different scale, so this is context rather than a guide.

Other work

Her creative portrait page describes artistic portraits that play with light, color, texture and staging. It also presents "Transcendances", a photographic series that she says celebrates difference, identity and courage through intimate and sensitive portraits of transgender people, as a tribute to those who dare to be fully themselves beyond norms and labels. Taken together with her stated commitment to inclusivity, it says something about how she approaches the people in front of her camera.

Her sessions for private clients, which the home page says can take place in the studio, outdoors or at the client's home and are adapted to what each person wants, are the natural route for an engagement or couple shoot before the wedding. The menu also lists a mini session, boudoir, editorial and Pola shoots.

What the site does not settle

The wedding page publishes no prices, packages or hours of coverage, and does not say what a couple receives, how many images, in what form or how quickly. It does not say whether she travels to weddings outside the Valais or how travel is charged. The site is in French and does not state whether she works in English. The site has FAQ and practical information pages; the wedding page itself does not cover these points.

Who it suits

Coralie Pasche suits couples marrying in the Valais who want a reportage-style photographer with a fashion and retouching background, a calm, inclusive approach, and a studio they can easily reach by train for a first meeting. Couples who value carefully finished images will find that her training points that way.

She suits less well couples who want a detailed wedding package and price on the page, or who need confirmation of English-language service before getting in touch. Both are a short email away.
