MY STYLE IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
What first made me fall in love with wedding photography was portraits. I loved having the opportunity to capture raw emotions,. These are photos that we cherish but rarely get the chance to take. Weddings are an occasion to gather and celebrate, and those photos are the first reason why I decided to become a wedding photographer. They still are what you mostly find in my wedding galleries: spontaneous shots of every emotion the couple and its guests experience during this beautiful day.
As the years go by, I began to realize telling a story is choosing the words but also in what order we put them. How did I want to tell those love stories? With what colors, what composition? I started to wonder about the style I wanted to move towards, that would best suit the way I wanted to tell love stories. My first love was the light of images taken outdoors, full of sunshine and bursts of laughter. Though my years in Paris gave me a taste for architecture and dramatic chiaroscuro, and this aesthetic slowly infused my work as a wedding photographer. I realized darker, more contrasting shots could add depth to the wedding story. Those darker indoor shots are now a part of my photo galleries, showcasing the grandiose interiors of wedding estates.
The key word in my photo galleries is diversity. I try to capture each event through the myriad of small details that shape it and make it unique.
My aim is to tell the story of every aspect of the day, from soft portraits of the morning's getting ready to stolen moments of the evening, from architectural photos to portraits of the bride and groom. The reportage is designed in collaboration with each couple to create images that match their wishes and requirements.

MY APPROACH IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Weddings are like embroideries, weaving a similar pattern with threads of different colours. Over the years I've been working in the wedding industry, I've wanted to work more closely with each couple during the preparations of their wedding to create with and for them wedding photos that tell their story. I created several documents I make available for the brides and grooms I work with. I also make my expertise and my time available to them, so that I can work with them to decide on the type of reportage they want, based on their personalities, their priorities and the atmosphere they want for their event.
On the big day, I oscillate between a photojournalistic approach, which allows me to create spontaneous shots that capture genuine emotions, and a more editorial approach, particularly during the couple's session. The aim is to provide them with spontaneous photos that will remind them of the moment, as well as more posed and polished shots that showcase their love story. The relationship of trust built up throughout the preparations of their wedding is essential, as it forms the basis of the entire wedding reportage that we create together.
I firmly believe that it is possible to be ambitious and create polished, well-posed images while cultivating a light-hearted atmosphere, just like a wedding should be. It's okay to want photos that make you feel and look like models (and I love doing those!). But that should not mean you have to settle for an anxiety-inducing photo session that leaves you frustrated and exhausted. Posing can (and should) be fun! I train regularly to be able to guide the bride and groom during wedding while allowing them to enjoy their day and keeping each and every one of their memories alive.
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!

Journal
I've always loved writing - I've been very active in the wonderful world of Fanfiction for years - and I wanted to link these editorial inclinations with my taste for photography. I write about my services, about the world of marriage, I share thoughts, the fruit of certain research I have done on several aspects of photography... I welcome you in this joyful mayhem!
