Everyone will tell you afterwards: it goes by too fast.

Only the photographs remain.

You've spent months planning every detail. The venue, the caterer, the music, the flowers, the seating plan. You've thought of everything to make this day exactly the way you imagine it.

And yet, when the day comes, everything accelerates. The preparations fly by. The ceremony passes in a breath. The cocktail hour slips away. The evening vanishes. You're at the centre of it all — but you only see a fraction of what's happening around you. Your mother's eyes welling up. Childhood friends reuniting. A groomsman wiping away a tear. A child dancing barefoot on the grass.

That's what I'm here for. I see what you can't. I'm there from the very first moment to the very last, with two cameras and three lenses — from the wide angle that captures the energy of an entire room to the telephoto that steals emotions from a distance, without anyone noticing. Pure reportage when I need to be invisible, directed portraits when everyone needs to look their best. I adapt to every moment of the day.

And then there's the moment that belongs only to you. The couple session — between forty-five minutes and an hour, before or after the ceremony. Just the two of you and me. We step away from everyone — often to several different spots, because we take the time. These are the photographs you'll hang in your living room. The ones your children will look at one day and ask: "What was your wedding like?"

Twenty years in this profession. 470 five-star reviews. Every wedding is different — and that's exactly why every package is built bespoke, together.

In twenty years, you'll still be looking at these photographs.

How it works.

From your first message to the delivery of your photographs.

01

You get in touch.

By email or phone. Tell me your date, the venue, the number of guests, the kind of day you're planning. I'll call you back personally within a few hours — no automated reply, no assistant.

02

We build your package together.

No rigid formula. We start from your day as you see it — duration, venues, key moments — and build the coverage to match. Your wedding, your package.

03

We meet.

In person if you're in the Gulf, by video call if not. We talk about your timeline, the people who matter, the atmosphere you want. A wedding captured well is a wedding understood first.

04

The big day.

I arrive early. I scout the venue, the angles, the best spots for the couple session. Then, from start to finish — two cameras, three lenses, natural light whenever possible and controlled flash when conditions require it. Several thousand photographs throughout the day. I'm available whenever you need me. And in between, I see everything no one else notices.

05

Your gallery.

Within 7 to 10 days. Every image hand-sorted, individually colour-graded and retouched — colour and black & white. The number of photographs delivered depends on the package and the size of your wedding: from a few hundred for an intimate ceremony to well over a thousand for a full day. You choose your favourites. The gallery stays online for 3 months. Premium prints shipped worldwide.

Every chapter of your day.

From the first preparations to the last dance.

GETTING READY

The dress. The cufflinks. Hands trembling while adjusting a tie. Your mother's face when she sees you for the first time. Your bridesmaids laughing nervously in the next room. Everything starts here — and these photographs are often the most emotionally charged of the entire day.

THE CEREMONY

Civil, religious, or outdoor. The exchange of rings. The tears. The smiles. Walking out together — under petals, rice, confetti, it doesn't matter. What matters is the rush. Every second happens only once.

THE TWO OF YOU

Between forty-five minutes and an hour, just the two of you. On a clifftop, by the water, on a beach, in the vineyards, at your favourite spot — often in several locations because we take the time. This is an intimate moment. These photographs, you'll keep for the rest of your life.

THE RECEPTION

The cocktail hour. The dinner. Friends who haven't seen each other in years finding each other again. The speeches that make everyone laugh and the ones that make everyone cry. The raised glasses, the shared glances. I cover every group, every table — no one is forgotten.

THE EVENING

The first dance. The cake. The moment the energy shifts and the dance floor fills. Embraces between songs. Faces lit by the glow of the party. This is where the most spontaneous photographs are born — the ones that make you smile every time you look at them.

FAMILY & LOVED ONES

The group photograph. Family portraits — grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins. The couple with every table of friends. Every guest captured. In twenty years, when you look at these images, you'll be glad that everyone is in them. That's a commitment I make.

Frequently asked questions.

How much does a wedding photographer cost in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez ?

Every wedding is different — the cost depends on the duration of coverage, the number of days, the venues and your wishes. Rather than displaying standard packages, I prefer to understand your wedding first and build something that truly fits. Call me or send a message — I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

How many photographs do we receive ?

It depends on the size of your wedding and the package — from a few hundred for an intimate ceremony to well over a thousand for a full day with reception and evening. Every image is hand-sorted, individually colour-graded and retouched.

How long before we receive the photographs ?

Your private gallery is online within 7 to 10 days. All photographs in colour and black & white. You choose your favourites, and the high-resolution files are delivered within 24 hours. Prints are shipped within 5 to 7 working days, worldwide.

How does the couple session work ?

It's an intimate moment — between forty-five minutes and an hour, just the two of you and me. Before or after the ceremony, depending on your schedule. We go to one or several locations I've scouted upon arrival. Couples always say it's their favourite set of photographs — the ones they frame at home.

Do you cover civil partnerships and secular ceremonies ?

Yes. Civil, religious, civil partnership, outdoor ceremony — the approach is the same. It's your day, whatever form it takes.

Can we book you for two days ?

Absolutely. Many weddings in the Gulf span two days — ceremony and dinner on the first, brunch or beach party the next. I offer packages designed for this. Tell me your schedule, we'll build it together.

Do you know our venue ?

I know the Gulf of Saint-Tropez extremely well — estates, villas, beaches, restaurants. If I don't know your venue yet, I adapt. I always arrive early on the day to scout the spaces and find the best spots for the couple session. I've been doing this for twenty years.

What if our wedding is outside the Gulf ?

I travel. Provence, the French Riviera, and beyond — we discuss it together and I adapt the package accordingly. Send me the venue and the date, and I'll put together a proposal.

Do you work alone ?

Yes, and that's a deliberate choice. One eye, one consistent vision across all your photographs. I know every guest by name before the day is over. For very large weddings — over 200 guests or two simultaneous venues — I can bring in a trusted second photographer. And if you'd like video coverage, I can connect you with a partner videographer (subject to availability). My craft is photography — and I give it my full attention.

How do we book ?

Send me a message or call with your date, venue and number of guests. I'll get back to you within 24 hours. Once we've agreed on the package, a 50% deposit secures your date. Saturdays from June to September go first — get in touch early.

What if it rains ?

In the Gulf in summer, it's extremely rare. But if it happens, we adapt — and some of the most beautiful couple sessions happen under overcast skies, with a softness that direct sunlight never gives. In twenty years, the weather has never ruined a single wedding.

Tell me about your wedding.

Your date, your venue, the day you're imagining. I'll get back to you within 24 hours with a proposal built for your celebration.
