Wedding filmmaker in Compiègne, I film your day like a movie — not a recording. Napoléon III's imperial château and its royal forest — fairytale setting for autumn weddings. 30 min from Senlis, 1h from Paris, I cover the area regularly with my full kit (dual 4K cameras, drone, lavalier mics, gimbals).

Cinema approach: emotional storytelling, rhythmic editing, cinematic colour grading. In Compiègne, I adapt to each venue's constraints — dim church lighting, harsh outdoor sun, neon evening. My goal: a film you'll want to rewatch 20 years from now.
Drone capture (DJI Mini 3 Pro) wherever permitted. Aerial shots of the venue, procession, first dance — instant cinematic feel for outdoor settings like those in the area (Château de Compiègne, Forêt de Compiègne, Clairière de l'Armistice).
Deliverables: 1-2 min teaser within 5 days (D+5), 8-15 min long film in 4 to 8 weeks, short version for social sharing on request. Logistics: 30 min from Senlis, 1h from Paris. Photo + video duo coverage with my team available.
The signature venue
Compiègne and its imperial surroundings are among the best video playgrounds in the Oise: Château de Compiègne (former royal palace, Napoleon III's favourite residence), 14,400-hectare state forest, Château d'Aramont, 12th-century Abbaye de Chiry-Ourscamp, Château de Quesmy, Institut Charles Quentin in Pierrefonds. Drone is authorised on most estates, and the forest offers aerial shots unique in France.
Weddings we covered in the area
Seen and lived in Compiègne
Cynthia and Sébastien's wedding remains a Compiègne video reference: Sylvain on camera, JB on photo, 18-minute long-format film opening with a drone shot on the Château and the state forest. They are also the couple who became friends: we have been filming since their youngest's birth and christening, and every major family moment — a mini video saga spanning 4 years.
Malik and Inès's wedding in March 2023: long-format film kept secret from the bride — she was the one demanding absolute mystery. Each course punctuated by a dress change = 4 distinct video sequences edited in parallel. The stage performance held all evening made the edit exceptional: 22 minutes of film resembling a fashion documentary.
Corinne and Alexandre Wroblewski's wedding in July 2025: full-day photo + video, secular ceremony at the Institut Charles Quentin. The Institute, in its forest setting near Pierrefonds castle, offers late-afternoon light filtering through the canopy — a gift for the drone capturing unique vertical shots of the area.

Frequently asked questions
What's your typical coverage duration?
From morning preparations through the first dance on average. Depending on the package, we can wrap at dinner or stay until the end. It's defined upfront based on your timeline.
What video deliverables do we receive?
A 60-90 second cinematic teaser (delivered within 5 days), a 10-15 minute edited wedding film with optional voiceover, and long takes on request. Everything is delivered in 4K via a private downloadable gallery.
Can you do photo and video on the same day?
Yes — it's actually our most requested package. Either as a duo (photographer + videographer on site) for visual consistency, or solo with mixed coverage depending on the event scope.
How do you capture sound so the vows are clear?
Three parallel audio sources: wireless lavalier on the groom, second handheld wireless for the officiant, and a standalone Zoom recorder as backup. Audio quality is as carefully treated as the image — non-negotiable.
How much does a wedding video cost?
Packages start at €1,080 for a half-day (ceremony + couple + cocktail). Count €1,800-2,800 for a full day with teaser + film. Custom quote based on your brief and venue.
