Absolutely thrilled to be named one of the 10 best wedding photographers in Provence by @frenchweddingstyle ! I’d love to say it was easy… but this is the result of 10 years of chasing moments, learning, and loving every second. I’ve been lucky enough to capture 200+ weddings. From Provence to Paris, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, the US, the Caribbean, Italy… and even Zanzibar! A huge, heartfelt thank you to all the couples and wedding planners who’ve trusted me along the way. You made these adventures possible and filled my life with unforgettable memories. This milestone truly warms my heart, and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years bring! #ProvenceWedding #ProvencePhotographer #DestinationWedding #FrenchWedding #WeddingInFrance #ProvenceWeddingPhotographer

Today, I finally sent a wedding album to production… from a wedding that took place in 2019. Back then, the album was already included in the collection the couple had chosen, but as it often happens, life simply got in the way. We stayed in touch over the years, there was Covid of course, busy schedules and when one of the brides works for the UN, I can only imagine how quickly personal projects like this can be pushed aside. And yet, 7 years later, the album has finally been approved. And honestly, I’m genuinely happy to be sending it to them. I don’t set any deadline for album design and approval (as long as I’m still in business, of course). Most couples finalize their album within the first year after the wedding, but for others, it takes more time and I’m completely fine with that. A wedding album deserves to be created calmly, without pressure. Giving my couples the freedom to take their time is part of the service I want to offer. #provencewedding #southoffrancewedding #frenchrivierawedding #provenceweddingphotographer #franceweddingphotographer #chateauestoublon #estoublon

Guests don’t necessarily notice the exact color of the napkins. They notice: — whether the cocktail hour feels enjoyable — whether dinner runs too long — whether the day flows naturally — whether the atmosphere feels effortless And that’s exactly where a wedding planner becomes essential. Of course for the aesthetic. But also for orchestrating the entire experience, managing the rhythm of the day, and making everything feel seamless and effortless.

Being a photographer comes with the rare privilege of accessing places. Both private and public. That I might never have experienced otherwise. It’s something I value deeply. Lake Como is one of those destinations I discovered through my work. (And while I do know the Bellagio in Las Vegas… I’m not sure that quite compares.) This place is truly extraordinary. There’s a singular atmosphere here—timeless, refined, almost cinematic. The lake, framed by its picturesque villages and exceptional venues, is breathtaking in every sense. Grateful that this craft continues to lead me to places like this.

I truly can’t wait for this summer. I really miss those little bubbles of happiness that weddings bring. Sometimes I catch myself getting excited over the smallest details. Like discovering the bride’s shoes I’ll get to photograph, or beautifully curated accessories. And between us… it almost feels unfair. Women have this incredible playground of accessories. Especially handbags, in every shape, texture, and color imaginable. While men have… well, almost nothing. When you’re in a suit, you’re already struggling just to figure out where to put your phone. Elegance is great… until you need somewhere to put your wallet.

Because the most meaningful images are never about the place. But about what happens within it. #parisweddingphotographer #luxuryweddingphotographer #fineartweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotographer

If I tell you that Paris will always be my favorite city, it’s not without reason. Beyond the fact that, of course, it’s the most beautiful… completely objectively :) I was born in Port-Royal in the 14th arrondissement, grew up in the 15th where I did all my schooling, and later attended high school in the 13th. So it’s safe to say I know this city by heart. I’ve walked it in every direction, worn out a few pairs of shoes on its sidewalks and basketball courts, and on many street corners, a memory comes back to me. Then, when I became a wedding photographer, I had the chance to rediscover it from a different perspective. Exploring more confidential neighborhoods, stepping into hidden, sometimes private places… and above all, learning to truly observe. The monuments, the architecture, the details. Everything that makes this city so unique. Today, I live in Provence. For the calm, the nature, and those simple things you start to value more over time… especially when you have children. But Paris never really leaves me. I come back often… And actually, today I’ll be shooting a few studio portraits. Guess where? #parismariage #photographemariageparis #pariswedding #mariageparis #weddingparis parisphotographer parisweddingphotographer parisianwedding

Is it just me, or are flatlays (those carefully styled shots of stationery and accessories) becoming a bit less trendy? I have to admit, it’s never been my strongest suit and I won’t miss it that much. It’s a true craft in itself. I still enjoy capturing a few details here and there, but I’ll always prefer focusing on real moments with the couple and their guests.

You have many things to think about when planning your wedding. Having a comfortable pair of shoes to change into for the evening is very important so you can truly enjoy dancing. It can also be a great idea to have a second dress, as not every wedding gown is designed for moving freely, doing your first dance, or lighting up the dance floor later in the night.

My work is very seasonal. Every year, at this time between two seasons, I feel that little doubt: “Will I be able to create images as beautiful as last year?” My goal has always been the same: to create wonderful photos for my couples. I’ve learned that this kind of fear can actually be a driving force. It pushes me each year to train further and explore new techniques. I’m constantly improving my work. For example, right now I’m experimenting with film photography. More and more couples are asking for it, and I want to be able to offer them this option. It’s exactly this mix of curiosity, practice, and high standards that allows me to keep growing and to give my best at every wedding.
