DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
LOIRE ATLANTIQUE

I grew up in Loire-Atlantique, near Nantes. My love of photography was born in Brittany, where I spent my summer vacations, but my very first wedding as a photographer took place in Loire-Atlantique, on the estate where I myself got married!

It was followed by many others, and today I work regularly in the Pays de la Loire region, accompanying brides and grooms.

I spent my childhood as a good student who was bored in class. In my spare time, for years I jumped from one creative activity to another, suddenly becoming passionate about something that I abandoned three weeks later. Drawing, painting, jewelry-making, writing, singing, music, learning Japanese, creating herbariums - and I'm probably forgetting a few - were victim of this meteoric-like destiny.

Surprisingly, photography has survived this foretold death, even though it would never occur to me to make a career out of it.

​

By the time I met my own wedding photographer, I felt out of place professionally. Through her eyes I first saw the possibility of making a career out of photography. She took me with her to my first weddings and encouraged me every step of the way as I switched to wedding photography. I owe it to her to do this job.

 

Creatively, I love the versatility of wedding photography. You have to shoot everything and in every lighting conditions! Indoor, outdoor, morning or evening light, portraits, detail shots, food shots and evening shots, bright or diffused light, color and black and white. You're never done learning or progressing. The social dimension is also very important in this profession, since each report is built in close collaboration with the bride and groom, with whom you need to create a bond of trust in order to imagine their wedding photos together.

MY APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

The preparatory discussions that precede the wedding are an opportunity to design the reportage that suits each couple, to discuss their desires, the atmosphere of their wedding, the importance they give to a particular moment or type of image. Some want long couple sessions, others lots of images that capture the mood of their wedding, more guest portraits or posed shots...

Over the years, I've developed a series of documents that I use to create a tailor-made reportage with each couple.

 

On the big day, I constantly switch between spontaneous photos and more posed sequences, while striving to maintain a light atmosphere for the bride and groom. I'm convinced that it's possible to be ambitious in terms of photography while still letting the bride and groom enjoy their wedding day with all the love and lightness that should go with it. I'm constantly working on the delicate balance between guiding the bride, groom and guests, while leaving them room to be spontaneous and enjoy their day.

​

To be able to create ambitious, artistic images while taking a light-hearted approach to the day, I'm constantly educating myself. My technical knowledge is a tool that I then make available to the couples who place their trust in me, with the aim of reconciling posed and spontaneous photos, editorial style and reportage, so that the memories that the bride and groom will have of their day are nothing but lightness, love (and fun!)

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!

MY FIRST STEPS AS A PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE LOIRE VALLEY

It's hard for me not to encourage you to get married in Loire-Atlantique, since I myself discovered wedding photography in the region during my own wedding! I also covered my very first wedding as a professional photographer on the estate where I got married. This crazy photographic adventure was born in the region. I then travelled through the Pays de la Loire and Brittany as part of my training, before officially launching my business in Lorraine.

 

I now travel the length and breadth of France to cover weddings, but having grown up near Nantes, the Loire Valley region still holds a special place in my life as a wedding photographer.

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!
