Marine & Matthieu

A New Exceptional Venue: Maison Claudie, Between Authentic Provence and Modernity Maison Claudie is quickly establishing itself as one of the new must-visit venues for a high-end wedding in Provence. Nestled in a landscape bathed in golden light, this estate blends—with rare elegance—the quintessential Provençal charm—sun-kissed stone walls, majestic pine trees, the scent of dried herbs—with a perfectly executed contemporary design. Its modern architecture, pristine pool and soft, airy spaces make it an ideal setting for couples seeking a celebration that is both elegant and effortlessly modern. It is here that Marine and Matthieu, Parisians deeply in love for many years, chose to celebrate their union. Their wedding will remain, without a doubt, one of the most emotional moments of my entire career. Their sensitivity and warmth, combined with the personal circumstances surrounding them that day, created a unique atmosphere: a true bubble of love, like an ode to life in the midst of challenges. A Celebration True to Them: Elegance, Emotion and Timeless Moments They dreamed of a wedding that felt just like them: elegant, warm, modern. A celebration that brings people together, that unites, that radiates joy. In the heart of the Provençal pines, they exchanged their vows during an emotional symbolic ceremony, surrounded by their loved ones. A suspended moment in time, where every glance, every held-back tear, every smile told a love story of rare depth. Dinner took place outdoors, bathed in that unique light that makes Provençal evenings so magical. A saxophonist set the tone as soon as the couple made their entrance, launching a first, fiery dance set under the stars with all their guests— the perfect blend of chic and energy. A live band later accompanied the dinner, adding a warm and festive touch to the atmosphere. Champagne glasses clinked, Jimmy Choo heels echoed against the ground, and the dance floor never emptied. An unforgettable day. A celebration forever engraved in my memory and in my heart—both for the beauty of every moment and for the power of what it represented for the two of them. – Credits – Venue: Maison ClaudieCoordination: Empreinte éphémèreFlorist: Le fleuristeCaterer: JM traiteurVideographer: Julien Seremet Live band: The VesperDJ: Rocco BonazzaSaxophonist: Tom saxMake up/hair: Make up wedding Provence back to reports

Abby & Connor

In the heart of western France, Abby and Connor celebrated their wedding in an architectural villa of exceptional character, surrounded by lush greenery and featuring its very own private beach. This Normandy wedding perfectly captures the essence of a high-end wedding with an organic spirit: soft, harmonious aesthetics, raw textures, and a palette dominated by mocha tones – a subtle blend of warm browns and earthy shades. A defining color of 2026 wedding trends, mocha brought a timeless warmth and contemporary elegance to the entire celebration. Organic and contemporary floral design The dinner setting was a study in balance between modernity and nature. Lush yet delicate floral arrangements combined textured foliage with neutral-hued blooms, accented by touches of mocha thanks to harmoniously scattered coffee beans. The intentionally airy compositions allowed the tablescape to breathe, creating a look that was both dynamic and refined. Instead of overhead lighting, candles provided a soft, enveloping glow, transforming the space into a warm, intimate cocoon. Every detail – from the choice of linens to the artisanal tableware including the personalized place-setting napkins – reflected a commitment to authenticity and harmony. Culinary delights and gourmet experience The cuisine was a true highlight of the day, reflecting the elegance and creativity of the celebration. A dedicated baristacrafted signature cocktails, while desserts combined creamy tiramisu, light meringues, freshly sliced figs, grapes, and even a spectacular Espresso Martini cascade that delighted the guests. On the savory side, gourmet burrata adorned with fresh basil added a fresh and elegant touch, perfectly in tune with the natural and organic style of the décor. Each dish was conceived as a refined sensory experience, enchanting guests both in taste and presentation. An atmosphere of softness and character This wedding exemplifies the evolving direction of luxury weddings in France: a return to simplicity, materiality, and sincere emotions. Mocha served as the guiding thread throughout the day, creating an atmosphere that was simultaneously elegant and serene, where every element felt perfectly in place. – Credits – Wedding planner: Plume Event Artistic direction: Plume Event & The sweet romanceProduction: Cozy production Videographer: Charlie Meunier HMUA: Alli make up & Pimp my hair by Fanny Decoration & furniture: L’atelier évènementielFlorist: HeclaCelebrant: Plume EventVenue: Au détour de l’Ile – domaine de BeaucéStationery: The sweet romance Content creator: Yourproduction.frCocktails: Bar spiritsJewellery: Ludovica AndrinaViolinist: MathildeGroom’s shirt: Father & sons back to reports

Angélique & Lucas

Some love stories begin like a movie. Angélique and Lucas met one evening in a bar in Nancy. One look, one smile, and just like that — their journey began. On June 21st, 2025, they got married in a deeply intimate ceremony under the trees at the Château Ernest, in the heart of Lorraine. Surrounded by sixty guests, they created a day that felt exactly like them: stylish, warm, and full of life. They wanted their wedding to be authentic, fashion-forward, and emotional. And they gave me the greatest gift: creative freedom. I designed a visual story blending editorial elegance and raw candid energy. A couple session shot at night, with only the flash to light their love. A laic ceremony full of meaning and emotion. A wild party, bursting with joy and freedom. No stiff poses, just moments of truth: glances, laughter, dances, hands meeting halfway. Angélique & Lucas are a love story in motion — bold, tender, and unforgettable. – Credits – Venue: Château ErnestHair stylist: Crescendo beauty Dresses: Bonjour SuzanneFlorist: Lady bloomberryCaterer: Marco TullioWedding cake: Crème cake D’signDJ: MCE events back to reports

Margot & Volodia

There are stories that feel like they were pulled straight from a novel. Stories that, from the very first words, stir something deep inside. Margot and Volodia’s story is one of them. They met on an autumn evening, in a small bookshop in the Marais. She was looking for a collection of Paul Éluard’s poetry, he was there to drop off a zine he co-publishes with friends. Their eyes met between two shelves — and the rest belongs to that kind of magic no one can quite explain. Margot is a film stylist, passionate about fabrics that tell the stories of past eras. Volodia composes electro-acoustic music and restores antique pianos. Together, they form a rare duo — both bohemian and intensely sensitive, deeply rooted in imagination and detail. They love getting lost in flea markets, writing each other handwritten letters, hosting themed dinners in their 11th arrondissement apartment, and setting off on spontaneous train adventures just to “change skies.” They also share a beautifully wild dream: to write a modern opera, blending true stories and fiction, exploring the idea of memory. I had the privilege of photographing them in March 2025, in a Paris still chilled by winter and soaked in persistent rain.Despite the weather, we wandered from Pont Alexandre III to the Petit Palais, passing through Place de la Concorde. This editorial shoot was an ode to their bond: soft, understated, quietly electric. They weren’t performing. They were simply themselves. Together. It’s in moments like these that I remember why I do what I do. To capture more than just images. To seize the unspoken, in the blink of a moment. – Credits – Make up & Hair: Laure BaruchContent creator: My social wedding Paris back to reports

AMV Retreats

In May 2025, I had the incredible opportunity to attend an exclusive editorial workshop hosted by AMV Retreats in the heart of Paris. It was an inspiring and truly enriching experience in one of the world’s most iconic cities. Over the course of several hours, I photographed two stunning couples — Vanessa & Riccardo and Naomie & David — in some of the most legendary Parisian locations: the Louvre, the Petit Palais, the Pont Alexandre III, and of course the Trocadéro Square with the majestic Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. Each place added a different tone and soul to the photos, enhancing their elegance and poetic energy. But this workshop wasn’t just about capturing beautiful images. It was a space for genuine connection, creative exchange, and meaningful discussions with fellow photographers from around the globe. We shared our visions, methods, doubts, and above all, our deep love for storytelling through imagery. I came away with new perspectives on wedding and editorial photography — freer, more creative, more soulful. Above all, I left with a portfolio of work that reflects the very essence of what I aspire to offer my clients: a universe that is fashion-forward, poetic, romantic, and authentic, where every frame holds an honest and refined story. Thank you to the entire AMV Retreats team for such a magical experience, and to all the talented creatives I met along the way. This Paris workshop was a milestone for me — a clear sign that I’m walking the right path. – Credits – VANESSA & RICCARDOOrganisation: AMV Retreats Styling & design: AMV Weddings Florist: Arts DistributorMake up & Hair : Myriam PourelleDress: Dylan Parienty Earrings: Megan Therese Couture Shoes: Kate Whitcomb NAOMIE & DAVIDOrganisation: AMV Retreats Styling & design: AMV Weddings Florist: Arts Distributor Make up & Coiffure : Myriam PourelleDress: Dylan Parienty Earrings: White Jasmine Accessories Shoes: Kate Whitcomb back to reports

Sohaila & Karil

Some love stories feel like they were written by fate. Sohaila & Karil’s is one of them. It all began on September 22, 2023, in a parisian Starbucks. A chance encounter, a few exchanged glances, a spontaneous conversation… and phone numbers shared. It would take them a month to meet again, but that day became unforgettable: a stroll through the charming streets of Strasbourg, a candlelight piano concert wrapped in soft light, followed by a horseback ride the next day — a perfect nod to their shared love for unique experiences. Sohaila comes from a big family, while Karil is an only child. She’s calm and grounded. He’s more outgoing, a party lover with a big smile. Together, they’re a perfect match — a balance of energies, like poetry in motion. They share a passion for travel, for discovering new cultures, and for Japanese anime, which they love watching together on cozy nights or while flying off to new adventures. Their civil wedding took place in Strasbourg, surrounded by loved ones. But they longed for something just for the two of them. A moment out of time, away from the noise. Italy felt like the obvious choice: Lake Como, with its shimmering waters, its elegant villas, and the irresistible taste of dolce vita. In the quiet beauty of Villa Balbianello, nestled between sky and water, they exchanged vows. Simple, sincere words — filled with meaning. Rain played hide and seek throughout the day, but it didn’t dull the magic. If anything, it made it all the more romantic. Between two showers, they boarded a boat and glided across the lake, with the joyful sound of champaign glasses. The day after, they savored warm pasta and vibrant spritzes, wandered the gardens of Villa Cipressi and Villa Monastero. There was no schedule, no plan. Just them. Accompanying Sohaila & Karil on this adventure was an honor. Capturing their connection, their glances, their meaningful silences — it was more than photography. It was storytelling. Their story. And that’s the true magic of an elopement: choosing each other, far from the world, only to return to it — stronger, together. – Credits – Venues: Villa Balbianello | Villa Cipresi | Villa MonasteroMake up & Hair: DanielaVideographer: Karmic Tale Wedding back to reports

Sicilian vows

An italian romance at Villa Igiea, or the elegance of a sicilian elopement. Some encounters feel predestined, moments suspended in time where everything falls into place with effortless grace. Viviana and Marco found each other in such a way, under the sun-drenched skies of Sicily, embraced by the timeless grandeur of Palermo. Their love unfolded with the rhythm of the waves kissing the shore, in a setting where refinement meets the poetry of time. Perched above the city, Villa Igiea is a masterpiece of the Belle Époque, a jewel of History and beauty. Once an aristocratic retreat, it still exudes the splendor of a bygone era, where elegance is whispered through delicate frescoes and scented gardens overlooking the sea. Each stone, each arch, holds the echoes of love stories whispered under the flickering glow of lanterns. In this majestic sanctuary between land and sea, Viviana and Marco chose to unite in an intimate elopement, a fleeting moment where nothing else mattered but their love. The symbolic ceremony unfolded before an endless horizon, cradled by the gentle breeze and the golden hues of sunset. Viviana, adorned in a flowing gown and a long lace veil reminiscent of the timeless grace of Italian matrons, walked towards Marco to exchange their vows. She wore antique coral earrings, a nod to Sicily’s rich heritage, where every detail is a treasured story. The floral décor burst with vibrant hues of orange and yellow, an homage to the warmth of the South, blending blossoms and citrus fruits in a delicate dance between sophistication and spontaneity. On the dinner table, lemons and oranges intertwined with petals, releasing a zesty fragrance—a promise of a night bathed in the essence of la dolce vita. As the sky set itself ablaze one last time before surrendering to the night, the first bubbles of champagne rose in the balmy Sicilian air. Around a table illuminated by countless flickering flames, the lovers savored this suspended moment, enveloped in the magic of a place where past and present intertwine seamlessly. Each burst of laughter resonated like a vow, each gaze exchanged sealed a promise. To capture these fleeting moments, to preserve the beauty of emotions and the poetry of a singular day—that is my calling. Whether in Italy, along the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean, or in any corner of Europe where love leaves its mark, I travel to tell your stories. From the golden light of Villa Igiea to the hidden alleyways of timeless cities, every wedding is a masterpiece, a suspended moment of eternity I am honored to immortalize. – Credits – Venue: Villa IgieaWedding planner & decoration: Frenck Kiss weddingsMake up: Federica PatellaroHair: Patellaro parrucchieriFlorist: Maria ManninoStationery: The sweet romanceDresses: More – Fanny RaimondoJewelry & antiques: Fecarotta AntichitagioielliModels: Viviana & Marco back to reports

Emmaline & Will

Emmaline & Will, two English people living in London and passionate about fine wines, gastronomy and Burgundy, have decided to tie the knot at Domaine de l’Abbaye de Maizières on August 31, 2024, before embarking on a honeymoon in Beaune. Emmaline works in the marketing area, while Will is in the music industry and cultural events production. Together, they form a lively and warm-hearted couple, lovers of travels and quality time spent with their friends. They envisioned an intimate blessing under the shade of centuries-old trees in the abbey’s park, a cocktail hour serenaded by the trumpet and guitar sounds of a jazz band, and a wild, fun and crazy party brought to life by a clever mix of English rock, Taylor Swift songs (fun fact: Emmaline, like me, is a “Swiftie,” so Taylor Swift’s songs played throughout the day, from her preparation to the dancefloor), and DJ sets performed by some of their nearest and dearest loved ones, including one by the groom himself! Long banquet tables to enhance conviviality, bright-colored flowers, and an orangery softly lit by dozens of lamps and candles set the tone for this unforgettable day… – Credits – Venue: Domaine de l’abbaye de MaizièresOrganisation: D DayFurniture rental: Beaune réception et SoredisFlorist: Le clos végétalDress: Aesling brideMake up: Alison – Le CachemireHair: Déborah SalvatCaterer: Maison DansardMusic band: Hot jazz brothers back to reports
