. I am a Computer Engineer 8 hours a day but what thrills me is photographing people who love each other. . My speciality ? Take natural photos of people who are not comfortable in front of a lens. For this purpose, I will create situations in which you will have no other possibility than to manage to let go and live the present moment and you will not even realize it. |
What I loveI am a lover of love, a lover of couple relationships, of the passion that can be put into it, of the hands that touch, the looks that meet, the bodies that shake, the laughter of the tears… My greatest qualityOne of my greatest qualities? Make you forget you’re on a photo shoot and beware, I’m really good at this game. Do you think you are not photogenic and that photos are not for you? I will show you otherwise. See you soon |

Do you travel throughout France or just around Toulouse?
A big yes and the further we have to go, the happier we are, because novelty and meeting new people is really something that motivates us. We have already covered engagement sessions in Nice, Antibes and a Sri Lankan wedding in Paris, for example. Usually, we are called to spend the day in Aude (11), the Tarn (81), the Tarn-et-Garonne (82), without forgetting the Haute-Garonne (31), but we're real traveling wedding photographer in our minds.
Where do the pre-wedding commitment sessions take place?
In general, they are in Toulouse or in the surrounding area, but we leave the possibility to our couples to do them abroad, as in Malte, Sévilla, Barcelona, London... for half a day. I'll tell you more when we'll first meet.
I offer you this article to learn more :
A commitment session, how does it work ?
How long will you stay on the wedding day?
If I could always choose, I'd go from the preparations up to the wedding cake (especially if it is in macaroons ...) through the first-look (the moment when you will discover yourself) and the first dance systematically. In my experience, it's the best way to really tell you the story of your wedding and it's also because after spending all this year watching you build your project, sometimes with my advice and tips, until it comes to fruition, I will really want to be there every moment of your wedding day.
In the end you will have a number of hours that you can put where it will be most important to you, whether it is to immortalize the preparations, the reception or the secular ceremony.
How many pictures will we get?
Depending on the formula you choose, you will have a minimum number of photos guaranteed (between 300 and 500). Then, everything will depend on what happens on your wedding day, there is no maximum and all the photos will be delivered to you post-processed.
How long after the wedding will we have our pictures?
For a wedding, the delay is 2 to 3 weeks, but, surprise, in that time, you won't only get your photos. That too, I propose to explain it to you in an appointment !
Do you do more than one wedding a day?
No, my day is reserved for you. No matter how many hours your package is, I only take one couple's pictures a day.
Are you photographers who do a lot of posing for couples?
Our style of wedding coverage is photo-journalism. This means that we will be observers of everything that happens and make sure that we are always in the right places at the right times, in the middle of your guests. There will be a small part of your wedding day devoted to a few posed photos, but only if you wish. This is the only way you will be able to get some spontaneous wedding photos.
And if you get sick, what happens?
It's never happened before, but in this case, my first choice will be to make a call to Marjorie. She's the photographer closest to my style and most in tune with my way of working. We are a duo of photographers and she has accompanied me on all my weddings for a year and a half, she will be able to take care of you too.
If she is not free, then I will use my network of professional photographers from the Occitania region.
Do you mostly use black and white in your reporting?
No, although I particularly like the aesthetics of the B&W photos. Unless the bride and groom make a special request, in general, they will represent between 20 and 40% of the photos and there will always be good reasons and special moments for me to transform them this way. Ask me the question when we meet and I will show you some before and after to explain it to you. It will be an opportunity to have your opinion too.
Will we need a second photographer?
This is by no means a must, but let's just say that from 150 guests at your wedding, it could be a real plus to have a second one. Not only will you be much more likely to have all your guests in your photos, but you will also be able to have several different angles of view of your important moments at the same time.
I will add that being 2 photographers can allow you to have one of them doing the "safe-shots" (the important photos) while the other one will focus more on artistic research. It's something we experienced a lot with Marjorie and it's a real plus in a reportage.
In terms of price, overall, the second photographer will be charged half the price of the first one.
Do you accept foreign marriages?
Yeaaaaaaaaah !!!! You'll make me the happiest photographer. I am fluent in French, English and Spanish and you can add Portuguese with Marjorie.
Do you do other photography services besides wedding photos?
Yes, when my schedule permits and I answer them in detail right after.
