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
Do we need both a photographer and a videographer, or can one person do both?
Both are possible and we do both. Solo means alternating: while filming you are not photographing, and vice versa. That is enough for a hundred-guest wedding with a simple running order, and it costs less. As a duo, each person holds their post and nothing is missed during moments that never happen twice: walking into the church, the vows, the first dance. Our photo and video duo package is offered at a discount compared with booking both separately.
Can we see recent films before booking?
Of course — a portfolio with 3-4 full films matching your style (cinema, artistic, classic) is sent. You can also browse our Vimeo and reviews (105 testimonials on Google).
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 does a wedding cameraman cost?
Cameraman, videographer or wedding filmmaker mean the same job in everyday language, with one nuance: a cameraman shoots, a videographer designs and edits the film. Our wedding video packages start at €1,080, editing included and the film delivered within four weeks. The French market ranges from €1,200 to €2,500 depending on coverage length and crew size. A markedly lower rate usually hides editing billed separately or filming without sound mixing.
What does a wedding videographer actually do?
They capture what photography cannot keep: sound. The voice during the vows, the best man's speech, the room laughing, the music of the first dance. In practice they scout the venue, fit discreet microphones on key speakers, film the day without directing it, then edit everything with clean sound mixing. Editing is as much work as filming: it is what turns eight hours of rushes into a six-to-ten-minute film people watch again.
