Family photo shoot in Iceland

The weather in Iceland is not the most friendly, often with gusts and sudden changes. A family session in these conditions is, therefore, a great challenge for the photographer, but also for a family with one year old baby.

This trip was an opportunity to celebrate Rey’s first birthday. His first name originated from Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. It is obvious that this incredible island had a special meaning for this amazing couple. My clients spent their honeymoon in Iceland and upon returning home (US), they had some good news : Rey was on the way.

It was really cold, but we took some breaks to warm up and took the photos on a barrier near Jökulsárlón, where we could see glaciers and black volcanic land, two notable symbols of Iceland.

Couple photo shoot in Brazil

Once a year, I run away from the cold – which I love so much – to find the sun and the warmth of Brazil.

It was in João Pessoa, at 5 amat sunrise, that I met this beautiful couple to do one of the most beautiful sessions I have ever done in Brazil. A dreamy destination with breathtaking views.

In fact, I am French-Brazilian and I often work in both countries. If you dream of a photo shoot in Brazil or abroad, take a look at my agenda or contact me using the form on my website with your project, it will be a pleasure to here from you.

One of the most beautiful cities, Paris is often chosen as the place of celebration of love by my foreign customers. Today I decided to share with you, an elopement with an incredible sunset in the city of lights.

It was going to be a cloudy day. The elopement of Nathalia and Allan was planned to start just before sunset in the gardens around Eiffel Tower. A few minutes before the ceremony, a downpour. We kept hoping that the forecast will surprised us with beautiful sunset.

The best gift was sent to the bride and groom. Perhaps, a gift from the father of the bride who was looking down from the sky, one of her daughter’s happiest days.

Preparations for the wedding of Yannick and Sandra

The photos began with the preparations for the bride and groom. First of all, the groom prepared himself in a very bright room where I was able to capture classic moments: the shoes, the watch, among others. But certainly, the most original moment was the groom’s tie knot. The groom intended to do it by himself, but with the emotion of the moment, he completely forgot how to do it and ended up looking on YouTube. This moment made us laugh and, at the same time, do original photos!

At the same time, the bride had her hair and makeup done in another room. When it came time to put the dress on, Sandra counted with the help of her sister and witness. My style of wedding photojournalism allowed me to document with a discreet way. The bride’s first look at the mirror, the moment to put her shoes on and the sublime moment to put on the wedding dress. Each moment is precious and unique, the bride and groom are delighted to relive those little moments that they experienced and sometimes did not bring attention, but that I was able to capture this little memories.

The preparations for the bride took place late morning / early afternoon. Subsequently, we went to the town hall of Bitche for the civil marriage. During the winter, the day is short and especially in this region. So when we got to the village hall, night fell.
