Wedding photographer in Provence. Elegant photojournalistic coverage in the South of France, the French Riviera, and Paris
Based in Provence, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, I photograph elegant weddings in the South of France and throughout Europe. Inspired by the Mediterranean light, exceptional landscapes, and authentic stories, I create natural photo essays that stand the test of time with simplicity and emotion.
From Provençal estates to seaside villas, from the villages of the Luberon to the cliffs of Corsica or the landscapes of Italy, every wedding is a new adventure. My approach always remains the same: to capture your day with discretion, highlighting the genuine emotions, the details that matter, and the beauty of the locations you’ve chosen.
If I enjoy traveling, it’s above all to meet couples, discover their stories, and create images that reflect who they are. Because beyond the location, it’s the people and their emotions that give each photo story its true meaning.

Wedding Photography | Aix-en-Provence, Southern France
In the South of France or around the world
Even though I’m based in the South of France (between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille), my camera bag is always packed and ready to go anywhere. Drawing on years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of traveling all over France as a wedding photographer. My favorite locations are: the South, of course! But also Corsica, the Paris region (Île-de-France), Lyon, and Bordeaux. Whether out in the countryside or right in the city, I absolutely love discovering new destinations.

A couples photo shoot is a unique and special experience that will allow you to capture the love and connection you share with your partner. In Cassis, I’ve chosen to offer morning photo shoots.
Let's meet to talk about your big day.
Every wedding is a unique story. My role is to tell that story with sensitivity, capturing the emotions, the glances, and all those spontaneous moments that make the day so special. I love creating natural, luminous, and timeless images that faithfully reflect what you experienced and what you’ll still feel many years from now.
Based near Aix-en-Provence, I photograph weddings throughout Provence, all over France, and abroad. From Provençal country houses to vineyards, from the cliffs of Corsica to the hills of Tuscany, each location brings its own light and character, but it is always your emotions that remain at the heart of my photojournalistic work.
My approach is unobtrusive and deeply human. I’ll be there to support you with kindness throughout the day so that you can fully enjoy every moment, while I focus on telling your story with elegance and authenticity.
