Wedding photographer at Château de Sorel (60490 Orvillers-Sorel, Oise — near Compiègne). Private Louis XIII style castle built around 1650 by Antoine de la Viefville, in a 17-hectare ancient park. 5 spaces totaling 584 m²: 130 seated guests in two salons, 350 cocktail across four communicating salons and a hall. Orangery for 200 seated / 400 cocktail. I cover this venue with an auteur cinematic approach — capturing real moments without interrupting. Private online gallery within 1 month, photo + video duo option. Around 90 km from Paris.

My DNA for this kind of wedding: auteur reportage, cinematic eye, discreet presence. Some posed portraits as a bonus, but the heart stays artistic and faithful to the moment's emotion.
Château de Sorel combines two rare visual assets: the Louis XIII stone (brick and stone banding) that takes on deep tones at golden hour, and an ancient park whose centuries-old trees offer magnificent photographic canopies. The Orangery additionally lets you switch indoors without breaking narrative continuity.
Couples covered at this venue: Anthonny & Precillia (June 2022), Mathilde (July 2022), Nicolas & Valentine (July 2023), David & Nadia (September 2023).
What I remember from these couples: Un super mariage avec Nicolas & Valentine qui m’ont été recommandées par Stéphanie une Wedding planer de Saint-Quentin, avec qui on collabore maintenant depuis plus de 10 ans
What this place asks technically: C’est vraiment top de faire des cérémonies laïques sur ce lieu, étant donné la route qui mène à l’arche qui est accessible en voiture du coup de belles photos
Why this place matters to me: C’est un château avec une belle façade.
What I'd tell a couple marrying here: Profitez-en lorsque la mise en place, les photos sont vraiment exceptionnelles.
Optical choices on this venue: Survol du domaine au Drone, en respectant les consignes du château, bien sûr et avec le brevet de télépilote ça va de soi
When to get married here: Septembre octobre couleur chaude pour le coucher de soleil. C’est parfait.
Team anecdote: Valentin avait une appréhension concernant l’ouverture de balle qui au final s’est très bien déroulée. Quand la pression redescend est toujours mieux.
Couple testimony: Nicolas & Valentine m’ont dit que les photos étaient vraiment belles, et qu’il ne regrette vraiment pas d’avoir pris cette recommandation.
Château de Sorel suits every wedding format: civil ceremony at the local town hall, outdoor secular ceremony, religious ceremony if a nearby church is available, dinner and evening on site. Privatization of the venue guarantees narrative continuity from morning to late night.
Photo + video duo: I work alone (photo OR video) or in a duo with my collaborator for complete coverage with zero interference — no overlapping framing, no parasitic double-light, synchronized delivery.
Delivery & options: private online gallery within 1 month, 3 to 7-minute video teaser delivered within 1 month, long version up to 1h available on request. Fine art prints, wedding album from €150 and other options on quote. Day-before presence available on request.

Frequently asked questions
Do you print or create a photo book?
Yes — fine-art albums (canvas cover, matte photographic paper, French manufacturing) in 3 formats (20×20, 30×30, 30×45). Delivered with a presentation case. Count 4-6 weeks after layout approval.
Can we see a full wedding?
Yes — private gallery of a recent wedding (with the couple's permission) is sent so you can see the look across a full day, not just Instagram images. It's important to project yourself.
How many photos are delivered on average?
Between 600 and 1200 retouched photos depending on coverage duration. All sharp, sorted chronologically, delivered in high resolution via a private downloadable gallery.
What if the weather is bad for portraits?
Indoor backup plan always ready (hotel lobby, side room, lit window). We also love rainy moods for unconventional umbrella portraits. Storm light often produces the most striking images.
Do you shoot film or all digital?
All digital with two Sony A7 full-frame bodies. Color consistency, delivery speed and low-light quality (indoor ceremonies, evening parties) demand digital. Film-look aesthetic available in post-production if you prefer.
