Paris Wedding Photographer and Videographer

Award-winning Wedding photographer

I specialize in fine art and timeless storytelling wedding photography, with an emphasis on emotion and lighting. My work is best known for its subtle blending of light and airy poetic images and more contrasty photos and deep moments: joyful, natural and emotional photography.
I also shoot a lot of photo sessions, both lifestyle natural light couple, family or portrait sessions, or more posed yet modern studio photo shoots. I absolutely love working with light, modeling light, whether it is a natural sunrise over the ocean over the shoulders of a couple or artificial light for a maternity shoot in studio, I just love that process of tailoring light to achieve a vision. Add a hint of love and emotion, and you got a great photo, and great memories to cherish forever.
Since my first wedding in 2010, I have photographed hundreds of weddings, elopements and photo sessions in France and worldwide, and I always strive to create natural yet impactful images and portraits.
In 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 after being selected as a member of several associations with the best photographers in the world, I have been honored to received multiple international awards for my work: best reportage wedding photography (Fearless Awards, This Is Reportage, WPJA), best artistic wedding portrait (AGWPJA), best engagement photography (WPJA), best lifestyle portrait (Lifestyle Pro Awards), best artistic maternity and newborn portrait (AFNS Awards) and best portrait (Portrait Photo Awards). I have been named in the TOP25 of the best lifestyle photographers in the world by the Wedding PhotoJournalists Association for 2021.
To date, I have yet never submitted my work to any publication or Magazine, but it has still been published numerous times, either by brides submissions or Magazine requests.
My style is a mix of soft and poetic light, and at times more contrasty of colorful images and moments. I do believe that all creative tools can and must be used to tell each and every unique story, without being too tied to a rigid photography genre, but rather always keeping my own and unique style.

Wedding Photographers in France, west coast

Serving Nantes, Angers, Le Mans, Poitiers, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Ile d’Yeu, Ile de Noirmoutier, Vendée, Pays-de-la-Loire, Brittany, the French riviera and France in general.

Based in the Vendée (west coast, Les Sables d’Olonne, near La Roche sur Yon) since 2019 but approximately visiting my family here 10 times a year for more than 20 years before that, I have a strong attachment to the french west coast area, and the ocean in general. Even though I shoot all over France, a lot of my weddings are next to the sea, whether it is here, in Brittany, in the south of France, etc. I am very fortunate to live a few minutes from the ocean, work with many extraordinary Vendée vendors, and I’m extremely pleased to be able to help brides coming from all over the world (I know, can you believe it!) to get married in our beautiful area.

I have been lucky enough to travel to 15 countries on 5 continents, shooting in Canada, the USA, Mauritius Island, the Seychelles Islands, Italy, Corsica, Sweden, Belgium, Greece and even tiny private islands in the Indian Ocean. I am very comfortable traveling to shoot events or photo sessions.
