Film Wedding Photographer in France
35mm and Medium Format Film
I'm a destination wedding photographer based in France, documenting weddings from Paris to Provence, the Loire Valley, and across Europe. My work blends documentary and cinematic photography, with a love for the unexpected, the intimate, the composed, and everything in between. I photograph weddings on digital, 35mm, and medium format film. Different ways of seeing, from modern to analog, each bringing its own character to the photographs.
WHAT IS FILM PHOTOGRAPHY?
There's something quite special about taking a photograph without knowing exactly how it will turn out.
With film, every image begins on a physical roll, hidden inside the camera. There's no screen to check, no instant preview. Just the light, the moment in front of me, my favorite camera and the trust that something beautiful is happening. Film is unpredictable, in the most magical way.
The rolls are then developed in a lab and scanned. And finally, I get to see what was there all along. I love that little bit of mystery. The anticipation of seeing the images for the first time, weeks after the wedding. In a world where everything feels so immediate, there's something wonderful about having a slower, more intentional process.
WHY I LOVE FILM
There's something about film that I find impossible to explain.
It's a feeling, more than anything else.
The grain, the colors, the way it captures light so beautifully. There's a certain softness to it, yet something raw and incredibly alive. Even the simplest photograph can hold so much emotion.
I love the process just as much as the result.
Knowing my cameras by heart, taking my time, trusting my instincts. Being completely present, observing what's happening around me, feeling a scene before capturing it. Knowing that every frame counts.
And then there's the magic of discovering the photographs, days or weeks later. The movement, the smiles, the tears, the happiness. All those little things that made the day what it was, suddenly coming back to life. It's a little like experiencing those moments all over again.
It's the whole experience, really. The anticipation, the imperfections, the beautiful surprises.
And I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything.

DIGITAL & FILM, TOGETHER
I photograph destination weddings across France, combining digital photography with 35mm and medium format film.
I don't believe there's only one way to tell a wedding story.
Some moments call for the flexibility of digital photography. Others make me reach for my film cameras, drawn to their texture, softness, nostalgia, and beautiful colors.
I love moving between the two throughout a wedding day, letting the light, the atmosphere, and whatever is happening in front of me guide my choices. I combine them to create a gallery that feels cohesive, natural, and full of life. Together, they bring variety and depth to the photographs.
Film isn't an occasional addition to my work.
It's part of the way I tell your story.

EXPLORING FILM FORMATS
35MM FILM
35mm feels spontaneous, playful, and wonderfully alive.
It is also really versatile. I love using it for candid moments, movement, laughter, and the beautiful chaos of a wedding day. Its characteristic grain and texture bring a sense of nostalgia to the photographs.
With up to 36 exposures per roll, 35mm gives me the freedom to follow the rhythm of the day. From the anticipation of getting ready to the energy of the dance floor, from natural light to direct flash, it's a format that lets me capture the day as it naturally unfolds.
120 MEDIUM FORMAT FILM
With fewer photographs on each roll, 10 to 16 depending on the camera, I find myself paying more attention to the light, the composition, and the smallest details. I love its softness, the richness of its tones, and the beautiful depth it brings to an image. It's often the format I turn to for portraits, thoughtful compositions and quieter scenes. Photographs that feel almost like little pieces of art.
Both have their own character, and I love the way they complement each other throughout a wedding story.
