Wedding photographer in Paris… and beyond: why I love traveling to capture your special day

A season that begins elsewhere

As I get ready to kick off my 2025 season in Brittany, I’m taking a moment to relax. This weekend, I walked among the Carnac stone circles, the wind on my face, my film camera around my neck, and Xavier Rudd and Einaudi on repeat in my ears. I lay down on the beach, read a book, and discovered a part of Brittany I hadn’t seen before. Before every wedding, I need this break to refocus. And as I wandered through these landscapes of granite and ocean, one thing struck me: I deeply love Paris—but I also love getting away from it. This contrast nourishes me.

I am a wedding photographer in Paris for several years. I live here, I grew up here, I work here, and every season I welcome couples from all over the world who come here to say “I do.” Paris is a city that is at once elegant, vibrant, and full of emotion.
I know its light, its quiet corners, and its more secluded ceremony venues. And yet…

Paris, my home base

What I love about this job is also what it offers me: the chance to get away.
So don’t get me wrong: I love photographing weddings in Paris. It’s my favorite city. I’ve traveled a lot in my life, and every time I come home, it’s a real pleasure. I don’t feel at home anywhere else the way I do in Paris.
And if one day I move back to live in another city or country, I know it will never be for very long.

Why I love following you everywhere

Every place tells a new story. And for a documentary photographer like me, that’s an invaluable asset. I don’t try to recreate the same images from one wedding to the next. I need to be surprised, moved, and inspired. And for that, changing my surroundings is essential.

That is why I have chosen to remain a mobile
I live in Paris, but I travel regularly to accompany you throughout France and Europe.

Here's why it's important to me:

  • Because a change of scenery gives me a fresh perspective. The light is never the same; the textures, atmospheres, and sounds influence me and inspire me to photograph in a different way.

  • Because I love immersing myself in your world. Whether you’re getting married in a forest in the Landes region, by the sea as a wedding photographer in Brittany, in olive groves as a wedding photographer in Provence, or in the sun-drenched mountains as a wedding photographer in Corsica, I tailor my approach to your venue, your energy, and your story.Because I reject the idea of a rigid or standardized photojournalism style. I don’t want to become a machine that repeats the same thing over and over. What I’m looking to do is create images that reflect who you are—not images that reflect who I am.

  • Because every place tells a different story. A ceremony in a Provençal farmhouse, a barefoot celebration on a Breton beach, an intimate wedding in a Corsican village…these are all different stories to create together, frame by frame.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Paris, but I’m deeply committed to the idea of going wherever the stories unfold. And if tomorrow your wedding takes place in an Italian alleyway, on an Alpine pass, or in a vineyard in Burgundy, I’d be delighted to be there.

What if tomorrow we were in New York, in the mountains, or somewhere else?

I am deeply attached to Paris. But I also dream of other places.

I dream of an elopement in New York, on a rooftop or in a small, hidden park in Brooklyn. Of those intimate weddings, free from the usual constraints, where we choose to say “I do” in a city that turns everything upside down. Being a wedding photographer in New York is a project that really excites me. For the city’s energy, for its contrasts, for the light on the facades at the end of the day.

I also dream of a wedding in the mountains, in the snow. Of a couple tying the knot in boots and down jackets, their cheeks rosy, the silence of winter all around them. And why not a wedding high up in the mountains, this time in the summer, when everything is calm and you can feel nature breathing.

As a mobile wedding photographer, I’m always up for thinking outside the box. I love weddings in Paris, but I’m just as happy documenting a wedding in Brittany, an elopement in the Dolomites, a ceremony in a field in Burgundy, or a rooftop ceremony in New York.

What I’m looking for isn’t a “perfect” destination, but a place that feels right for you. Whether it’s just around the corner or 6,000 kilometers away.

So if you, too, are dreaming of an elopement in New York, an intimate wedding in Manhattan, or a cozy ceremony in an industrial loft… let’s talk. I’d be delighted to be part of this adventure.

In conclusion: Paris will always be close to my heart… but I like to broaden my horizons

I’m a wedding photographer in Paris, and Paris remains my home base, my familiar playground—a place I know almost by heart and that continues to inspire me. I have my routines here, my favorite spots, and that light I love to chase through the streets. It’s a city I never tire of.

But I’m never as inspired as when I step outside the box. When I discover a new place, when I have to get used to a different light, a different rhythm, a different way of telling a story.

So if you’re getting married in Paris, I’d be delighted to show you around its streets, gardens, mansions, and lively apartments.

And if you choose to get married somewhere else—in Brittany, Corsica, Provence, abroad, or even for an elopement in New York —I’d be just as happy to join you. Because what I photograph above all else isn’t a place. It’s you. Your connection. Your energy. What’s happening between you and around you, in that very moment.

Because, deep down, it’s not the location that makes a documentary magical.
It’s the way we watch it together.

Maybe this article will make you want to take me with you to New York, Milan, or the Alps—who knows? If so, feel free to tell me about your plans and what you’d like to do.
