Destination wedding photographer & filmmaker in France.
Châteaux, Provence, Paris and beyond. A documentary eye, a cinematic hand.
You are planning a wedding in France and you want it photographed by someone who feels the day rather than stages it. I am Jean-Baptiste, JB, a French photographer and filmmaker. For over a decade I have followed couples from getting-ready to the last dance, in châteaux, vineyards and quiet village halls, capturing the day as it truly unfolds.

Why couples cross borders for it.
Marrying abroad is a leap of faith. You are trusting a place you may have visited once, and a photographer you have only met on a screen. My job is to make that leap feel effortless: to know the venue before you arrive, to speak both languages of the day, and to hand you images that feel exactly like the France you fell in love with.
- 01
France is built for weddings. Light that flatters, châteaux that need no decoration, golden hours that last. I know these places, their best corners and their worst surprises, so you never lose a moment to logistics.
- 02
Documentary first. I do not interrupt your day to manufacture photos. I read the room, anticipate the moment, and stay invisible until you need me. The result feels like memory, not like a photoshoot.
- 03
One team, every angle. Photography and film, plus the extras that make a reception come alive. You brief one trusted person, not five vendors who have never met.

Complete coverage, one studio.
Photography is the heart of every wedding I shoot. Around it, you can add as much or as little as you like.

Wedding photography
A documentary, cinematic eye on your day. Real emotion, real light, no stiff posing. This is the heart of what I do, and the reason most couples reach out.

An optional second discipline, shot solo or as a duo: a teaser for the day after, plus a long-format film you will actually rewatch in ten years.

An elegant open-air booth your guests use all night. Instant prints, branded templates, and a guestbook of candid joy you keep forever.

In their words.
“What can we say about JB. Behind his lens hides a deeply kind, discreet and attentive person who is genuinely passionate about his craft. He has this incredible ability to capture the most sincere emotions, the glances, the smiles, all those small moments you don't always notice but that tell the whole story of the day. Even when the weather wasn't on our side, he found solutions with calm and creativity. Thanks to him we have far more than simple photos: we have living memories.”
“A photographer at the very top. Beyond the sheer quality of the images, JB guided us throughout the whole day, he knew how to put us at ease, find the right spots and the right angles. Such professionalism and kindness. A huge thank you.”
