Intimate wedding at Château de Varennes in Burgundy

Virginie and Charles got married at Château de Varennes, a lovely venue surrounded by Burgundy's vineyards.  the day was filled with a lot of laughter as these two are real jokers, I love weddings like that ! Intimate and relaxed couples. It's the best !

I fell in love with Virginie's wedding gown, a gorgeous Jenny Packham with hand sewn beads and beautiful lace. And can we talk about that engagement ring?! It was designed by the bride's mum who is a jeweler. 

The wedding day was followed by a brunch with good food, good music and friends around the pool. I told you, a perfect kind of wedding !

Day after brunch

Dreamy Lake Como Elopement

Getting married in Lake Como is probably one of the most romantic things to experience in one's life.

Lake como just like Paris, has something of a timeless romance, especially if you get the chance to marry in a gorgeous villa on the shores of Lake Como. I had the chance to capture Queralt and Giulio's love at Villa Teodolinda. Their love for one another was truly inspirational, they fell in love during a concert, he was playing in a rock band, she was a fan...and I got the honor to tell the rest of their story :)
Here are the images of their dreamy elopement on the shores of Lake Como.

Whimsical Boudoir Session in a Parisian Hotel

A dreamy editorial session in a bathtub in Paris.

Being a wedding photographer, it feels good to step outside the wedding world from time to time and go on create more personal work, let the imagination run a bit wild(er). This summer I had this opportunity with the amazing designer Violette Tannenbaum. We had the same vision of a whimsical, ethereal boudoir session that would include beautiful flowers and a... bathtub :)

Here are the photos of the day dream we created together (press play for the music! ) :

A huge thank you to Hotel Le Crayon in Paris for letting us borrow their amazing Suite Exquise Esquisse.

And thank you to the awesome team of vendors who worked on this project:

You were born to be REAL not Perfect

Yes YOU.

As a wedding and portrait photographer here in France but also around the world, how many times have I had female clients believing they will never look beautiful on pictures because they were told they're not "photogenic".

So let me tell you now that Photogenic is a myth honey, your beauty is unique and can be shown is so many different ways, but most of all, it's in your beliefs. Once you understand that there can be no other you than YOU, that you have a light that no one else has on this planet, that your uniqueness is what makes you gorgeous, then you'll understand the power you have within you and grow that confidence that'll make you shine. And if you don't get it, hit me up and I'll show you your beauty through my lens✨
