Wedding photography - authentic and artistic reportage

My approach to wedding photography

Being a wedding photographer means above all observing and narrating. My approach is rooted in a documentary and artistic style: I capture emotions in the very moment they unfold, without posing or staging. It is the laughter, the tears, the spontaneous gestures that create a narrative both powerful and true.

I use light and composition to give each image a distinctive artistic dimension. A reflection in a mirror, the atmosphere of a salon, a ray of sunlight filtering through the windows — everything becomes material for creating unique photographs, modern yet timeless.

My goal is not to create perfect images, but to reveal the sincerity of your day. I preserve its intensity, so you can relive it years later. Each moment finds its place in a wedding story that is true and timeless.

Experience in France and abroad

For more than fifteen years, I have been photographing weddings in France and abroad. I have accompanied couples in Auvergne, Paris, the United States, Asia, and across Europe. This diversity has taught me to adapt to the cultures, traditions, and expectations of each wedding.

My journey as a war photojournalist in Lebanon and Afghanistan trained me to observe, anticipate, and press the shutter at the decisive moment. Today, this instinct allows me to capture true emotions, even in fleeting and unexpected moments.

I work with French couples who marry in their home region, as well as with international couples who choose France for their celebration. This blend of experiences refines my vision and elevates every report. Yet what remains unchanged is my commitment to crafting a timeless story through refined, human imagery.

Where I work

Destination Weddings in France (Luxury & International)

Destination weddings attract more and more international couples, especially from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Asia, who choose France for its heritage and prestigious venues.

Whether for a grand celebration or an intimate elopement in Paris, Provence, or the French Riviera, I offer complete coverage designed for high-end weddings, with two photographers included to ensure that nothing is missed.

It is also possible to add a Light Director, whose role is to shape the atmosphere — especially during evening receptions and night portraits — enhancing each scene with a refined, cinematic aesthetic.

I accompany international couples in both French and English, from the first video calls to the final delivery. My role is to guarantee comprehensive coverage that is authentic, artistic, and true to your expectations.

Weddings in Auvergne

Auvergne is my home base, where I photographed my very first weddings. Over the years, I have accompanied couples to timeless venues and historic estates such as Miremont Castle, Château de la Canière, and Domaine du Bois Rigaud.

These settings provide a truly unique backdrop : between wild nature, historic heritage, and an intimate atmosphere, each Auvergne wedding tells a different story. Whether it’s an outdoor ceremony overlooking volcanoes or an elegant reception in a castle hall, my approach remains the same: to document your emotions with sincerity and transform your moments into powerful, timeless images.

My role as a wedding photographer

Preparation and support

A successful wedding is always prepared in advance. Before each reportage, I propose video interviews and a detailed questionnaire to understand your expectations, your loved ones, and your family history. These elements allow me to anticipate the most important moments and ensure I am in the right place at the right time.

I take into account your traditions, your surprises, and your rituals, so that nothing is left to chance. The goal is simple : for you to fully enjoy your day without ever worrying about photographs. I am present, yet discreet, attentive to every detail unfolding around you.

From day to night

I cover the entire day : preparations, ceremonies, cocktails, dinner, speeches, and parties. Unlike many photographers, I stay late into the night. The dance floor, the laughter, and the festive moments bring raw, energetic, and unforgettable images.

I also love to create night portraits, giving your reportage a distinctive and refined signature.
