Your wedding photos: timeless memories
As a documentary wedding photographer, I accompany you in Nice, Cannes, Monaco and throughout Provence to capture the elegance and emotion of your union.
Why ?
You will only experience this day once. But these photographs will allow you to relive the magic and emotion of every moment.
"Every wedding is a story of emotion, intimacy, and beauty."
On the French Riviera, with its golden light, turquoise sea, and exceptional villas, every moment becomes an eternal memory.

Getting Ready
Photographing life's key moments with judgement
I photograph weddings as reportage, in contrast to a posed session. The years since 1992 have taught me to stand where the scene unfolds and to anticipate a gesture rather than ask for it. The images that last are the ones nobody saw being taken.
Portraits taken in the flow of the day
Late in the afternoon, the raking light along the coast gives skin tones a warmth that midday flattens. Backlight at that hour separates the figure from the background without hollowing out faces, in contrast to frontal lighting.
