DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
IN FRANCE

MY APPROACH IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Photos reflect the state of mind of those they photograph. Creating an atmosphere of benevolence and lightness is essential to achieve shots that meet everyone's expectations. I strongly believe that taking pictures should be an uplifting, lighthearted, fun  experience. Cinematographic photos can be created in a spontaneous, funny way. I want my clients to be able to talk to me openly about their desires, their doubts, their opinion about what I offer them, so that we can design together their wedding report.

Susceptibility has no place in my job. My role is to put my work at the service of the newlyweds and to create for them the memories of this very important day, while allowing them to go through that day with serenity and lightness. If anything, I must be an ally to them. My goal is to make sure that the couple I accompany will feel confident enough to talk to me about their doubts as well as their desires. The easier and more natural communication between us is, the better I will be able to identify their expectations in order to design a report as close as possible to their aspirations.

During the day, I favor photo reportage, because my goal is to capture the spontaneity of behavior during this beautiful day. I make myself more present during times when bride and groom and guests need more guidance and confidence: couple and group photos, for example. I also sometimes move half of the furniture in a room to guarantee the bride and groom the prettiest decor for their photographs.

MY WORK WITH BRIDES AND GROOMS BEFORE THE WEDDING

Weddings sharing timelines and moments and yet completely different atmospheres and emotions keep reminding me that each event, although based on a common thread and a similar day's proceedings, differs in terms of the personalities of the bride and groom, the location or the atmosphere desired and created by the couple and their guests. Over the years, I've felt the need to expand my support for brides and grooms during the preparatory phase, so that I can take the time to understand what each couple wants from their photo shoot, what their priorities and wishes are and what atmosphere will come out of their personnality and how they will shape their wedding.

Accompanying a couple on a wedding as a photographer means taking on the responsibility of spending long hours with two people on an emotionally-charged day. I think it's vital that the bride and groom know me well enough to trust me even before their wedding day begins, so that they feel serene and supported throughout the day. This bond of trust is essential for creating a quality report! Discussing before the wedding and making sure I know where their priorities are is also essential for me as my main goal must always be to create their photo reportage. Of course I want to create the most stunning images possible, but what is even the point if the couple doesn't feel connected to those images ?

I also want my clients to benefit from all the knowledge, advice and ideas I've gained from the events I've covered in recent years. I created several resources I pass on to the bride and groom during the preparatory phase. Those are designed to give them as many tools as possible to make the most of their images and help create a reportage that lives up to their desires and requirements.

KIND WORDS

A huge thank you to Manon who did an exceptional job capturing the most beautiful moments of our wedding in Provence.

We were immediately at ease with Manon, and she put us at ease with her legendary sense of humor!
Throughout our wedding preparations, she was always available to listen and give us precious advice.

The result of the photos is magnificent. We couldn't have wished for anything better than to have Manon by our side on this very important day to immortalize these moments. Our guests loved her too!
