A photojournalist and film director turned wedding photographer.
My deep respect for otherness and for difference in all its forms allow me to remain totally open to the uniqueness of the people I work with. Whatever your nationality, your religious beliefs, your political preferences, your weight, your height, your skin color or your sexual orientation, I am here to help you put together in images the epic story of your wedding, from the preparations to the end of the evening party.
French by nationality, I left France 16 years ago, having traveled for many years across the world. This unusual journey has allowed me to learn to speak four languages fluently (French, English, Spanish and German) and to diversify my professional skills (consultant, photographer, technical support, social worker, film director).
The ideas of tolerance, peace and justice have always guided my professional and personal lives. The documentary film I made in 2019, The Condor and the Eagle, awarded with more than 40 international prizes, consolidated my photo-journalistic style. My film shows the major role played by Indigenous women in the advancement of the global movement for climate justice. This two-year journey into the heart of the American continent shattered by destruction and suffering has instilled in me a deep sense of compassion and respect for all life forms. This is the origin of my intensive practice of yoga and meditation, also very important in the context of wedding photography where it is necessary to be in the same time very calm, focused and dynamic. Upon request, I will be happy to share with you a link to watch my film.
“It will always be a miracle to me how a single day can bring out the full depth of people's feelings, what makes us truly human: dedication to each other, true compassion, genuine connection with others.”
I currently live in Germany with my wonderful German wife, Sophie and my two beautiful children Mia and Lucas. My wedding was also a particularly important episode in my life and I continue, 10 years later, to cherish the memory of every moment of it. Being personally aware of the extraordinary and intimate nature of weddings, I also consider my work as a very personal practice, an opportunity to offer my help and contribute to the well-being of all.
