I LOVE WHAT I DO
The Fine Art style is defined by a clear, bright and soft photography, mixing softness and simplicity. It reflects in my eyes all the poetry and the romanticism of a wedding day, through light colors, rather pastel. It's a style that tends to be as close as possible to the silver rendering of our old developed films. It is not a question of advanced retouching, but more of sublimation of the pictures, giving to the complete report a harmony and a coherence in the images. It is thus at the same time a timeless, sober, purified and natural style. The spirit of fine art is very narrative. Telling your story, by being at the heart of it, is the primary objective of my reportage. It will be composed at the same time of portraits, photos of places, details, decoration,... In short, of all these elements that you have chosen, which will allow you to remember all the atmosphere of this magnificent day.
​
​The American photographer José Villa is one of the precursors of the style. Today, Greg Finck is a real source of inspiration for me, as well as Christophe Serrano, with whom I had the honor to collaborate on different weddings.
I LIKE
JE N'AIME PAS
The laughter of my children, spending a romantic evening (which is far too rare for my taste), traveling, discovering the world, meeting unexpected people, walking in the nature with my dog, devouring series (La Casa de Papel, Revenge and Lucifer among others), sharing a shopping or spa moment with Ambre, riding horses, dancing, spending time with my friends, listening to Maxence inventing stories and telling me how he would have defeated "you know who" instead of Harry Potter, chocolate (especially M&M's), Mojito, looking at old photos reminding me of all the beautiful things I lived, girls' nights out, talking about photography with other enthusiasts, summer and its barbecues, seeing my kids at the school show, U2 and the Black Eyed Peas, learning new things... and weddings of course! I simply love life!
I DO NOT LIKE
Hypocrisy, pretense, animal abuse (and more generally abuse), slaughter, disrespect, when my kids fight, middle school cross-country (yes, that was a long time ago but it obviously left me with a bitter memory), turnips at the movies, being lied to, not getting what I want, cleaning, having to throw things away, being wrong (especially when I'm right), not being in control of things, being bored, having to wait, gaining weight, when my hair doesn't work... and probably a lot of other things but I prefer to stop here and focus on the positive!
ABOUT ME
I was born in 1981, near Paris. Once I got my baccalaureate, I followed my parents who settled in the Montpellier region. I am now married and mother of 2 dynamic children, Ambre and Maxence, born in 2010 and 2014 respectively. No time to get bored with them, but that's good, I'm the dynamic type!
Always passionate about photography, it was when I became a mother for the first time that I really realized the value of a photography, freezing time and emotions. I am particularly touched by the poetry and the emotions that a photo conveys.
​
Today I have the privilege of blossoming at your side, learning a lot from each couple I meet : discovering your history, being at your side in these magnificent domains for these moments so dear to your eyes,... It is by putting all my experience at your service that I propose to you to retranscribe as well as possible the delicacy and the romanticism of your marriage. My sensitivity and my perfectionism are used to offer you a valuable reportage, combining esthetics, authenticity and emotions.
LET'S WRITE TODAY
THE BEGINNING OF THIS
BEAUTIFUL STORY
Contactable by mail and by phone, I will be delighted to know more about you first, but also about your expectations and your needs.
We will then discuss my approach and my philosophy to wedding photography, because it is essential in my opinion to be in agreement for this day so important to you.
NaTurAl
You don't have to know how to pose or be used to the lens... just be yourself! My photos will bear witness to real feelings that I like to immortalize, in order to make this day a unique memory that you will enjoy rediscovering each time.
​
Enjoy your day, let yourself go. It is my role to be in the right place at the right time, to sublimate in pictures every moment of your day.
EdiTinG
It is important that you like the style of my photos, that you find yourself through my pictures. After your wedding, I spend a lot of time behind my computer in order to bring a coherence and a uniqueness to your reportage.
​
My goal is not to transform your photos, but to bring my personal touch, my artistic style, in the colors that I like. I work your memories in the natural, the simplicity and the harmony.
