My style here: auteur reportage, cinematic eye, minimal direction. A few posed portraits as a complement, but the core stays artistic and sensitive — the photo tells what actually happened.
Anthony & Perrine's wedding perfectly illustrates the estate's vocation: Île-de-France couple, intimate pastoral wedding, outdoor secular ceremony in the park, dinner under the glass roof, dancing in the barn. Domaine de Fontanelle offers late-day cross-light that transforms couple portraits into cinematic frames.
Couples covered at this venue: Anthony & Perrine (June 2024).
Strong moments lived with our couples: Je revois Anthony me courir après sur le mariage de Ornella, et Jerome sur leur mariage au moment où je rentrais dans ma voiture pour me dire qu’il voulait impérativement travailler avec moi pour son mariage qui se passait l’année d’après. Du coup j’ai envoyé la fine équipe faire ce super beau mariage, très Fleurie
Technical scouting: Oui honnêtement c’est un super lieu, on a adoré l’arche qu’ils ont confectionné, l’extérieur est vraiment de loin le meilleur endroit à mon sens.
What makes this place different: C’est un lieu magnifique pour les cérémonies laïques
Good to know before booking here: Si la cérémonie laïque est bien préparée, ça facilitera le travail du Photographe.
Technical detail for photographers: Téléobjectif sur ce mariage car ça permet vraiment d’écraser les perspectives. Et pour mon cas 1 Fuji Gex 100s en quatre tiers. C’est vraiment mon idéal sur ce lieu.
Best season for this venue: En été sur ce lieu, c’est juste parfait. Comme je le disais depuis le début ce lieu Fleurie est juste magnifique.
Behind the scenes: Sylvain et Mounir ont sublimé le mariage avec les lieux qu’ils ont choisi.
Feedback from a wedding here: Ils ont adoré leur clip et leurs photos

Domaine de Fontanelle suits every wedding format: civil ceremony at Le Mesnil town hall or a nearby commune, secular celebration in the park, dinner in the reception barn. I handle the logistics of full coverage regardless of the scenario — no transition stress, narrative continuity preserved from morning to late night.
Photo + video duo: I work alone (photo OR video) or in a duo with my regular collaborator for complete coverage with zero interference — no overlapping framing, no parasitic double-light, synchronized delivery. The duo format suits open-air-ceremony weddings like those at Domaine de Fontanelle particularly well.
Delivery & logistics: private online gallery within 1 month (300-600 retouched photos), 3 to 7-minute teaser film, long version up to 1h on request. Fine art prints, wedding album from €150 and other options on quote. 1h15 drive from the Oise (HQ).

Frequently asked questions
Do you work as a duo with a videographer?
Yes — it's our most complete package. Photo + video on the same day with tight coordination so neither team blocks the other. You leave with two coherent deliverables.
How long until we receive the photos?
30-photo preview gallery within 5 days, full retouched delivery in 4 to 8 weeks depending on the season. An email update notifies you at each stage.
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.
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.
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.
