Wedding day
When I show up to your wedding I already feel and act like your friend, your guest, your long lost uncle. Your guests will wonder if I am working or if I am a friend of the family and where the heck did you find me.
Because I feel part of the wedding as a guest, I tell its story from within.
What makes me different is that proximity, with you and your people, and that genuine love to catch some unique situations that I find funny, touching, intimate, joyful. That is how I get images that feel exactly how it happened.
Like that photo of 3 groomsmen getting ready, all squeezing in one bathroom mirror. How do I fit all 6 faces perfectly without showing up myself? And the result feels like you are also here fighting for some space to fix your hair.
You are hiring me to protect your experience and the experience of your guests. Those family photos can actually be fun, enjoyable and not too long. Your portraits are not a photoshoot. They're one of the few quiet moments you'll have together all day. A moment to connect.
Some moments need direction. Most don't. Knowing when to step in and when to step back is part of my craft. The rest of the time, I blend in so you don’t feel pulled away. So you do not have to choose between living your day and remembering it. The photos bring back the people, the emotions, the day exactly as you felt it.
"Never pushy or rushing us. Just seamlessly captured the best moments of our special day. We enjoyed seeing him dancing around and enjoying the fun like family." Leona · Kansas City Wedding
ENGAGEMENT SESSION
By the time I walk into your wedding, we are not strangers. That is what the engagement session is really for. The photos are a bonus.
We spend a few hours together, the three of us having a good time somewhere around Kansas City. We explore, we play, we co-create. The great photos of your love just happen along the way.
We start with a conversation, we discover some unique element for your session. A location that means something, an activity you both love, your dog, your favorite bar or restaurant, who is wearing a Kelce shirt. Whatever comes up. Katrina and Jordan started in Chiefs outfits behind those painted walls in Crossroads, went back to their house to change to classy outfits and have photos with their dogs, and finished the session at Tailleur, a French restaurant... Your creativity is the limit.
"What I expected to be uncomfortable actually turned into something beautiful, enjoyable, and genuinely fun." Abiola, Kansas City
SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER
Some moments simply happen at the same time.
​
While I am with you, I can’t be with your partner getting ready. If I am at the front of your entrance, I am not behind catching the dress and your partner's reaction. If I photograph your first dance I probably will miss your parents' reactions.
​
It's not about getting twice as many photos.
​
It is about giving you back a fuller story of your day, told from different sides.
MAGAZINE
Some memories deserve words, not just photographs. And some are meant to be shared.
Photos hold what the day looked like. Words hold what the people in it said about you.
I partner with a journalist that comes to your wedding to write your story. She interviews the persons closest to you and uses my photographs to create a magazine of your wedding so you can give a copy to everyone who matters to you. Think of a real magazine, the size and feel of one you would actually buy at a bookstore, except it is yours.
album
I have seen many brides cry when discovering their wedding album. Maybe the closest to my heart is my own wife Beth. We are remarried, we already had our big ceremony so we had an intimate wedding on our backdeck. We did not hire a wedding photographer, I thought I could do it and it is my wife's biggest regret. One Christmas I compiled the photos of our day in an album that I gave her. She cried in front of our kids, ripping their presents with joy. Later, when I asked her what she felt, she told me I gave her our wedding back.
That is what an album does for the couple. The album also belongs to everyone in it. I go on vacation in Normandie to my Aunt and Uncle's beach house almost every summer. Imagine a big family reunion with multiple cousins, aunts and uncles, kids running around, adults laughing, beach fun… I made an album for them for each time I came. I started back in 2006. Those albums live on the shelf in the living room. Every summer I see my family grabbing them and going back in time and we can see most of them grow from baby to adult now…
Destination Wedding
I grew up in France, lived in California and Connecticut, travel in many countries and I am always ready to get on a plane.
If you are dreaming of getting married in France specifically, I am not just your photographer, I am your insider. The French uncle who actually knows where to eat, what to avoid, and how to talk to the vendors.
