Wedding photographer Clermont-Ferrand: an artistic approach

With over fifteen years' experience in photojournalism and more than a decade devoted to wedding photography, I combine a precise documentary eye with an assertive artistic sensibility.
My style blends on-the-spot reporting, an eye for detail and meticulous composition to create images that are natural, lively and timeless.

As a wedding photographer in Clermont-Ferrand, I capture what makes you unique: real moments, intense emotions and spontaneous scenes. My aim is to compose strong, colorful and graphic images that tell your story with depth.

Beyond the photos, I accompany you throughout your day - from the preparations to the evening - to produce a complete, sincere and faithful report of what you have experienced.
My work has won international awards, but what counts most in my eyes is the relationship of trust that we build together.

Because wedding photography should never be static or standardized, I advocate a lively, emotional and personalized style - just like you.

I'm based in Auvergne, but I travel all over France and abroad. I've photographed weddings in Paris, Toulouse, Lyon, China, Great Britain, Chicago, Washington D.C. and Hawaii.

Clermont-Ferrand remains my anchor, but every place becomes an inspiration.

The price of a wedding photographer in Clermont-Ferrand depends on several criteria: the length of the shoot (2h, 8h, 12h or more), over 1 or more days, the season (high or low), the location, and the options chosen. It is therefore difficult to give a single price, as every wedding is different.

As a rough guide, for a full-day shoot in high season in Clermont-Ferrand, the budget is often around €3,000 to €3,500 for a photographer.

I also offer shorter, hourly packages, especially for weddings on weekdays (Monday to Thursday) or out of season (October to April). These periods also benefit from advantageous discounts on packages.

Each service includes personalized support, a private online gallery, and all photos in high definition, with no hidden charges.

Make an appointment to discuss

We recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for weddings in high season (May to September). Some dates go very quickly. If your wedding is scheduled at the last minute, please contact me: I sometimes have availability for coverage on weekdays or out of season.

Book a discovery call

Yes, as a wedding photographer in Clermont-Ferrand, I also offer couple photo shoots before or after the wedding, in places that are just like you: volcanoes, forests, graphic streets... These more intimate moments allow you to create powerful images, without the pressure of the big day.
