Samantha and Kahlil\u2019s wedding day was intimate, effortless, and full of real moments.<\/strong> From a quiet morning of getting ready to a ceremony under the trees and a warm reception with their closest people, everything unfolded naturally\u2014without forcing emotions or turning the day into a photoshoot.<\/p>\n

My approach is documentary at its core. I focus on what\u2019s honest: Samantha taking a breath as she steps into her dress. Kahlil\u2019s hand slightly shaking as he holds hers during the ceremony. These small, unscripted details are what make wedding photographs feel true years later.<\/p>\n

Later that night, the celebration shifted into a more energetic rhythm as everyone stepped out for a Mardi Gras parade\u2014an unforgettable, lively ending that invited candid, spontaneous images.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now based in France<\/span>, available in La Rochelle<\/span>, \u00cele de R\u00e9<\/span>, Bordeaux<\/span>, Paris<\/span>, and anywhere in France. I spent five years living and working in the United States<\/span>, and I\u2019m fully bilingual (English\/French)<\/span>\u2014so for couples planning from abroad, communication is smooth, expectations are clear, and the photography stays natural and discreet throughout the day.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_gallery css=”” type=”image_grid” images=”4713,4714,4716,4717,4718,4719,4720,4721,4722,4723,4724,4725,4726,4727,4728,4729,4730,4731,4732,4733,4734,4735,4736,4737,4738,4739,4740,4741,4742,4743″ image_grid_loading=”default” layout=”2″ masonry_style=”true” bypass_image_cropping=”true” item_spacing=”5px” gallery_style=”7″ load_in_animation=”none”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
