Wedding photographer in Chantilly

Manon and Kevin's wedding at the Chantilly Racecourse in May 2024, a stone's throw from the château and its park. Both got ready on site, and Manon's first look, with her father and then with Kevin, ended in tears. Couple portraits were taken before the town hall, on the lawn facing the stands, then in the surrounding woods to work with reflections. For a photographer, the Racecourse offers a rare framing width: you can work couples in wide shots without losing the setting.

Lola and Lylian's wedding on 29 August 2025 at the Château de La Tour, in Gouvieux. Lylian got ready in the château's bedrooms, town hall then church in L'Isle-Adam under confetti, back to the château in a vintage car. The couple photos were taken after the drinks reception opened, on the wide lawns: stepping back keeps the whole façade behind them, and that is often the image that sums up the day.

Jade and Anthony's wedding in May 2022 at the Château Mont Royal in La Chapelle-en-Serval, on Chantilly's doorstep. Everything happened on site: both got ready at the château, couple photos before the 5 pm secular ceremony, which the venue itself orchestrates down to the procession. And the interior offers plenty of variety without moving: the piano in the large ground-floor room, the bedrooms with their tall curtains, the corridors where we hung the dress.

Margaux and Ayman's wedding on 30 June 2023 at the Château d'Auvillers, north of Chantilly. Both got ready at the château, the Gouvieux town hall at 3 pm, then back in a procession for couple photos in the park and under the great tree-lined avenue. In the evening, dinner in the stone-walled hall with its exposed beams, with a violinist for the couple's entrance. An estate we know well, having covered several weddings there since.

Wendy and Daniel's black-and-white wedding at the Château de Lamorlaye, in September 2025: black tuxedos and bow ties for the men, bridesmaids in long black dresses around Wendy's white gown, and she had planned two dresses for the day. Against the classical façade and the September lawns, that graphic choice gave strong images without much staging. Mounir was the photographer that day, and the image that opens their story is a kiss on the château's grand indoor staircase.

A Franco-British wedding at the Château de Montvillargenne, now Château Jeanne, in Gouvieux: part of the guests came from England and I switched languages all day. Down the grand staircase with its wrought-iron banister, a first look on the balustraded terrace behind the château, and a croquembouche under sparkler fountains, next to the champagne cascade, on the herringbone parquet of the salons.

Marina and Christophe said yes at Gouvieux town hall, in front of its large gilded mirror that we know well, then at church, before the reception at the Château d'Auvillers. Christophe was not comfortable in front of the camera: it was written in black and white in the schedule, so that Youcef, our photographer that day, could take it into account. On arrival at the château, Marina wanted one photo per family, a hundred guests queuing in front of the façade, and the day ran on until the midnight cake.

Their wedding day had flown by, so we brought the dress and suit back out for a day-after session in the Chantilly forest: a fallen trunk as a bench, the stump above the pond, and the birches at golden hour. The forest is an open-air studio ten minutes from the centre, and I suggest it to every couple in the area who wants images without the wedding-day clock.
