Your wedding
PHOTOS
I will never ask you to choose between your memories. You get them all.
IT'S
ALL HERE
No cutting.
No choosing.
Your whole wedding.
NO PICKING AND CHOOSING
I DON’T WANT TO
DECIDE FOR YOU
WHAT MATTERS.
A wedding day is full of things you don’t necessarily notice while they’re happening.
A look across the room. Your grandmother laughing. Your best friend disappearing for five minutes. A hand on someone’s shoulder. Something completely ridiculous happening in the middle of the dance floor.
I’m not going to ask you which ones you want to keep.
01 / THE REPORTAGE
THE
WHOLE STORY.
I deliver your full wedding reportage.
Depending on the format of your reportage and everything that happens throughout your day, that usually means 700 to more than 1,000 images.
Yes, all of it. Well, everything that deserves to be there.
Because yes, I still edit. I often shoot in bursts to catch the exact moment, the right look, the movement that lands just right. There will always be a photo where someone’s mouth is open, one eye is closed, someone walks through the frame, or an image simply doesn’t add anything to the one next to it.
That’s part of reportage.
So I do my job. I keep the strongest images, remove duplicates and the genuine misses.
What I don’t do is hold images back.
I don’t deliberately delete images that tell part of your story just to stay under a number written into a contract.
The big moments, obviously. But also everything that happens in between.
The spontaneous moments. The details. The people. The movement. The laughter. The quiet bits.
Because a wedding isn’t only about the moments everyone is waiting for.
It’s also everything that happens around them.
I’d rather give you too many memories than decide for you which ones deserve to stay.

02 / THE BEST OF
A SHORTER
WAY IN.
You also get a tighter edit of your wedding photos.
The Best Of lets you relive your day quickly, without scrolling through the entire gallery.
Depending on the reportage, it usually includes around 150 to 300 images.
But this is just the way in. The full story is in your complete gallery, in the reportage section.
AND THEN THERE’S THE SLIDESHOW.
On my website, you’ll often see a slideshow playing to music.
It’s not your whole gallery. It’s a Best Of edit set to music, designed as a little 3-minute bubble you can disappear into.
It may start with a few of my Iconiques, then the images shift back into their more documentary, spontaneous, alive form.
The idea is simple.
You’ve got three minutes and suddenly feel like going back there.
You press play.
And you’re right back in the atmosphere of your wedding.
No need to hunt for one specific image in a complete gallery of more than 1,000 photos.
Just three minutes, a soundtrack, your faces, your friends, your day.
A little nostalgia machine.
It starts with the Iconiques, then, from the “Tutu, Tutululu, Tutu, Tutululu”, the reportage kicks in with the original images!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I tend to agree.
WHAT ARE
the Iconiques.
03 / THE ICONIQUES
THE ONES THAT
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
And then there are my Iconiques.
They take up a lot of space on my website. I put them front and centre, and I treat them like images that could become a movie poster, a magazine cover, an album cover.
But in your gallery, they usually make up barely 1% of the images.
They’re images from your reportage that I choose to push much further.
A stronger treatment. More graphic. Sometimes text directly on the image, like a movie poster, magazine cover or album artwork.
I play with the crop, the contrast, the texture, the words, the layout.
Basically, I let myself go a little.
But don’t worry, I’m not stealing any of your images along the way.
The Iconiques are also part of your complete reportage.
You’ll find them there in their original version, alongside everything else from your day.
They don’t replace anything.
They simply give some images another way of being seen.
Another way of looking at them. Giving them a second life.
And sometimes, a very real urge to print one huge.
Reportage
YOU GET
EVERYTHING.
Iconique
Really?
Because a wedding day is never just a handful of perfect images.
On my website, you mostly see the more distinctive images. The ones I want to put front and centre.
But they are only a tiny part of what you actually receive.
Behind the Iconiques, there’s your whole story.
Hundreds of images. Sometimes more than a thousand.
The people you love. The little details. The moments you lived. The ones you missed. And the ones you’ve already forgotten.
Ten, twenty or fifty years from now, you won’t be wondering which photo you should have deleted.
You’ll just be glad you can look back at all of them.
I will never ask you to choose between your memories.
You get your complete reportage, your Best Of, your slideshow and my Iconiques.
The Iconiques are the images I push further.
The Best Of is the condensed version of your day.
The slideshow is your little three-minute bubble to disappear into whenever nostalgia hits.
And the reportage is all of those images in their original form, plus everything else that deserves a place in your memories.
YOUR STORY.
ALL OF IT.
Nothing left behind.
Tell me about your wedding, your ideas, your world. I’ll tell you how I’m already seeing the images.
