An elegant destination wedding for Catherine & Phillip at Mougins Golf Club in the South of France. Refined, effortless, and full of emotion.

With the natural light of the Côte d’Azur and the calm atmosphere of the French Riviera, every moment felt timeless. Weddings like this are exactly why I love working as a South of France wedding photographer.

A wedding in Lille at Saint-Vincent Church and Château de Prémesques — elegant, emotional… and unexpectedly adorable.

Right in the middle of the ceremony, the kids decided it was their moment. Curious faces, tiny steps, and the sweetest photo-bombs you could imagine. Unplanned, unscripted, and absolutely perfect.

These are the moments you never forget 🤍

When a pilot marries a former flight attendant, you know the love story comes with extra legroom. ✈️💍
Klaus & Diana took their ‘forever’ to cruising altitude — and yes, we even made a pit stop at a tiny Austrian airport for the perfect shot.
If you’re looking for a destination wedding photographer in Austria who’s not afraid to taxi onto a runway for the photo… I’m already boarding.

💍✨ Planning your pre wedding photography in Venice? Get ready to feel like the main characters in a very romantic movie, with fewer stunt doubles and more pigeons watching your every move.

Venice is the perfect place for couples who want epic photos and don’t mind getting slightly lost in charming alleys. I’ll guide you through the best spots, cheer you on like a supportive third wheel and make sure your photos look like you naturally woke up photogenic.

If you want pictures that scream romance, sparkle and a little bit of “Did we just model for a travel magazine” then Venice is waiting for you.

Kew Gardens in spring — soft light, calm air, flowers everywhere, and geese just doing their thing like they own the place. I love how peaceful it feels here. Every photo looks like it was taken in slow motion.

If you’re planning a wedding in London, this is the kind of spot where everything just works — the colours, the mood, the space. I photograph weddings all over the city, but there’s something special about Kew in spring.

Totally — let’s switch up the vibe:

Shangri-La Paris: where the chandeliers sparkle, the Eiffel Tower keeps photobombing, and love comes with a side of “OMG is this real life?” ✨🥂

One minute everyone’s laughing, the next minute tissues are flying like confetti — and I’m over here pretending my camera just caught some dust. 👀

If you’re hunting for a wedding photographer in Paris who can handle elegance, emotions, and the occasional baguette emergency… I volunteer as tribute. 📸🇫🇷

Once upon a very fancy canal, I had the joy of being a wedding photographer in Venice inside the legendary Palazzo Pisani Moretta. Calling this place “beautiful” feels like calling gelato “a nice snack.” The chandeliers alone deserve their own social media accounts.

Picture this: marble halls, gondolas gliding by like it’s totally normal, and a couple so in love that even the statues were trying not to stare. Meanwhile, I’m over here making sure none of my lenses decide to take a swim in the Grand Canal.

If your dream is a celebration wrapped in romance, history, and a little bit of “wow, did we just get married in a palace?” then Venice is your spot. And if you need a wedding photographer in Venice who can handle epic scenery and unpredictable pigeons… I’ve got you 📸💍🇮🇹

👑✨ Once upon a time, in the fairy-tale halls of Château Challain, Sonia finally found her crown — and Dominic, her king (though he’s still learning how to wear it properly 😄).

Their day was pure magic — champagne, laughter, and a love story that could make even the castle’s stone walls blush.

So grateful I got to capture every moment of this royal-level romance — if every weekend looked like this, I’d happily trade my tripod for a tiara. 💍📸 .
