DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
NANTES
I spent a lot of time wandering around in the entire country during my studies and my professional life. I grew up near Nantes, at the gateway to Brittany. My student and professional career took me on detours through Paris, Lille, Marseille and Metz, before finally settling back in the Loire Valley region. Today, I'm lucky enough to work all over France, particularly in the Nantes region, where it all began.
HOW I CAME TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
As a child, I had a delightful characteristic that must have driven my parents mad: I was passionate about anything and everything for very limited periods of time. Music, drawing, painting, writing, collage, crafts, weaving, knitting, you name it. I would briefly become passionate about this or that activity, only to abandon it immediately in favor of a new passion. Photography miraculously escaped this programmed death and has never left me. Growing up near Nantes and spending all my summers in Brittany, the seaside was my first subject.
I first considered photography as a profession when I met my wedding photographer. Through her vision and advice, I discovered a profession that fascinated me. I owe my conversion to her.
I found things in this profession that I deeply missed in my former job. A form of independence, a great deal of creativity, and the pride of creating images to which I strive to give an artistic dimension (at least I'm trying!)
I've also, and above all, reconnected with a social dimension that I'd previously totally put aside. Reassuring the bride and groom, accompanying them, creating with them a bond of trust, joy and lightness is an integral part of this profession. Creating and maintaining this special relationship is probably my favorite part of the job!

HOW I WORK AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
As a wedding photographer, I feel very close to the couples I work with on the big day. Beyond the bond of trust that binds us, I'm simply glued to them for sometimes twelve hours at a time. It's vital that not only do they feel confident around me, but that I generate nothing but lightness for them, and no stress or mental burden. A wedding photographer has to be an ally. Someone we can rely on when we need it, who can entertain us, help us through the sometimes emotionally-charged moments, and give us the confidence to create images that live up to what we're experiencing.
I'm deeply convinced that making photos should be a light, fun experience. This requires ongoing training on my part, to guide couples and guests effectively while maintaining a light, relaxed atmosphere. I learn from photographers I admire but also (and above all) by reading a lot. My library consists almost exclusively of books on photography (and manga, and fantasy books).
Over the years, I've also written and designed a number of documents that I use to work with brides and grooms to design a tailor-made photo reportage, taking into account their preferences, priorities, likes and dislikes, so as to create images that level up to their expectations.
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!
