A Romantic Beach Engagement Session in Brittany, France
AUXANE + AURÉLIEN
In this article, you’ll discover Auxane and Aurélien’s story, along with the photographs from their romantic beach engagement session in Finistère, Brittany. A little throwback to a beautiful weekend in 2023!
I joined Auxane and Aurélien in Brittany for my very first wedding of the 2023 season, at the end of May. I was so excited to return to this region of France that I love so much. Especially to discover South Finistère, which was still completely new to me. Their wedding took place in Plozévet, and it was such a warm and joyful day.
A WEEKEND IN BRITTANY
I drove to Brittany the day before the wedding, heading towards Audierne. At the last minute, Auxane and Aurélien asked if we could meet in person and take a few engagement photos together. We had already exchanged plenty of emails and video calls. But nothing compares to finally meeting in real life. Of course, I said yes!
We met on a beach at sunset to capture a few memories together. It was the perfect little pause in the middle of all the wedding preparations. We talked, laughed, climbed up the cliffs to admire the view, and everything simply felt right.
It was also a wonderful opportunity for them to get comfortable in front of the camera before their wedding day. Also for me to get to know them even better. I truly recommend an engagement session as a first experience together before the wedding, whether you choose to do it a year in advance or simply the day before.
I won’t share the exact name of this beach. Partly because Auxane and Aurélien took me there and I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly where we were, but mostly because they asked me to keep this little paradise a secret. The coastline is incredibly beautiful, but also wonderfully preserved, and keeping places like this peaceful is part of what makes them so special.
THEIR WORDS AFTER THEIR ENGAGEMENT SESSION AND WEDDING IN FINISTÈRE
“We chose Julia for both our engagement session and our wedding, and what a joy! Julia is incredibly professional, dedicated and full of ideas. She is such a lovely person, and we immediately felt comfortable and trusted her completely. She knew how to guide us and make us feel at ease, and you can see it in the photographs: natural, spontaneous images that perfectly capture the emotions and story of the day. Every little detail is there. Thank you, Julia. We are so happy and wish you all the best for everything to come!”
