Every wedding is a film that plays once.

 

No rehearsals. No second takes. No going back.

 

I've spent ten years learning to see the things that 
happen between the moments everyone is watching — 
the breath before the vows, the father's hands, 
the way two people look at each other when they 
think no one is looking.

 

That's where I live. In the in-between.

 

My approach is unhurried and unobtrusive. I don't 
direct — I observe. I don't pose — I wait. And when 
the moment arrives, I'm already there.

 

I work across Europe — France, Italy, Greece, 
Scandinavia and beyond. Châteaux in Normandy, 
villas on Lake Como, elopements in Paris at dawn. 
Every location is different. Every couple is different. 
The light is always different.

 

What doesn't change is what I'm looking for — 
the unrepeatable instant. The frame that holds 
thirty years from now.

 

250 weddings. Each one permanent.

 

Based in Paris. Available worldwide.

What couples say

I work with a select number of planning agencies 
across Europe on a preferred vendor basis.

Before the wedding — I contact you directly, not the couple, 
for timeline and logistics. One call. No repeated questions.

On the day — I follow your lead. My job is to document 
your vision, not compete with it.

After — preview gallery within 5 days. 
Full delivery within 6 weeks.

Your clients stay yours.
I don't reach out to couples who book through agency referrals.
