Photo Reportage

Wedding

A creative eye on your

Wedding

As a professional wedding photographer in Bordeaux, on the Arcachon Bay, and throughout Gironde and Landes, my mission is to capture all the precious moments of your day, including those you might not expect! Every smile, every tear, every burst of laughter is part of your love story, and I’m here to capture them with discretion and creativity. My photographic approach focuses 90% on candid shots to capture pure emotion, spontaneous moments, and the details that make your wedding unique.

My wedding photography reportage will allow you to relive your day with every glance. From the details of your decor, to your wedding dress and suit, not to mention the bouquet and guest arrivals, every element of your wedding will be immortalized. From the start of the ceremony to the end of the evening, my photos will transport you back to the atmosphere of your big day, so you can relive those magical moments again and again through your photo album.

The different steps for your

Wedding

01

First contact

That’s it, you’ve either proposed or your partner has said “yes”!

Congratulations! It’s now time to find the photographer who will capture this unique moment, and you’ve decided to explore my work. After reaching out by phone or sharing your expectations through the contact form, I will present you with my different packages and explain my approach.

With my experience, I can also guide you through organizing key moments: the “first look,” group photos, couple photos, and more. Need a videographer? I regularly collaborate with trusted professionals whom I’d be happy to recommend.

02

The engagement session

You’ve made your choice and honored me by selecting me as your photographer—thank you so much!

All of my packages include an engagement session: a special moment to share as a couple or family, in a location that is meaningful to you. This relaxed session is perfect for capturing beautiful photos while getting to know each other, ensuring that you feel completely comfortable on your wedding day.

Whether in the city, countryside, or by the ocean, the choice of location is yours. A few months or just days before your big day, it’s also up to you to decide the perfect timing for this session.

03

Your wedding

The big day has arrived! The excitement and emotion are at their peak, but I am here to guide you and capture every magical moment.

I start with the details: the suit, the wedding dress, and accessories, before following the preparations of both the bride and groom. Ready? If you’ve chosen a “first look,” I will be there to immortalize this intimate moment before the bustle of the guests.

During the ceremony, whether civil or religious, I capture the key moments: the entrance, glances, exchange of rings, and the kiss.

After the group photos and the cocktail hour, enjoy a sunset for a couple’s session full of tenderness.

As night falls, it’s time to party and dance until the early hours!

04

The photo gallery

Your wedding is now behind you, with memories in your mind and stars in your eyes. You’re floating on cloud nine, eager to relive that incredible day.

After carefully sorting your photos, I retouch each one with attention to detail: framing, perspectives, colors, and light play, to make them truly unique.

Once the editing process is complete, I will provide your photos via an online gallery, accessible anytime and shareable with your loved ones.

Want to preserve these memories on paper? Opt for a custom photo book: around 40 pages, with a lay-flat option, perfect for reliving every moment with a unique keepsake in your hands.
