The light of the stage.
The intimacy of your story.
You want your wedding to feel relaxed and real: no stiff poses, no endless line-ups, just the two of you, free to enjoy it.
I spent three years photographing live theater, and I bring that same eye to your day.
I stay in the background, catch what really happens between you, and turn it into an elegant, timeless story.
Real moments • Real emotion • Nothing staged
A taste of Elegant Documentary: a curated set of highlights, shown in a private gallery exactly as my couples receive theirs.
Calls, quote, contract, planning: all in English, from your very first email to your final gallery.
On the day, I chat with your guests in English and French, and deal with your French venue and suppliers for you. Nothing gets lost in translation.
All collections below are priced in euros. Travel within the Paris region is included; anywhere farther, we agree on the cost upfront.
Town hall or symbolic ceremony? I'll explain how it works in France, and I photograph and film both.
A little French for the curious: aura, œuvre (the work of art) and écrin (the jewelry box that keeps it safe).
View, share and download your high-resolution images in an elegant, secure online gallery.
Planning calls, advice on light and a realistic timeline, so the day runs without stress.
A first handful of highlights, two days after the wedding, to keep the magic going.
Travel within Île-de-France (the Paris region) is included. Farther afield, we agree on a travel plan together in advance.
A digital contract, with the option to pay in installments up to the wedding day.
A lighting assistant always works alongside me, and every image is backed up twice on the spot. Your only job is to enjoy the day.

“From the moment we started getting ready, Christophe put us completely at ease. He was incredibly discreet. Seeing the film and the photos for the first time was so moving.”
— Julie
“The photos are exactly what we hoped for, so full of emotion and so genuine. He's always in the right place, yet you barely notice him.”
— Julien & Sarah
“Your photos captured every emotion of the day! Our guests loved having you there, and how discreet you were.”
— Sandrine
I call my style Elegant Documentary. Timeless, refined pictures for couples who care even more about being free to enjoy the day. A real burst of laughter will always beat a perfectly posed shot.
I learned it in three years of theater, shooting from the wings. Live performance never goes to plan, so you work with whatever light you're given, read emotion before it peaks, and get the shot without ever stopping the show. Weddings are the same: I sense the moments coming and stay out of the way.
Every photo is edited by hand, every shot of your film framed with a cinematic eye. And I'm fully bilingual, so English or French, with you or your guests, it all comes just as naturally.
Photography began as a parallel career, alongside 18 years at Fidelity International working in English with American and British colleagues, and a hotel background that took me from the Lutetia and the Crillon in Paris to Marriott in San Antonio, Texas. Both taught me the same thing: a clear contract, a quick reply and zero surprises matter almost as much as the pictures.
When I'm not at weddings, I photograph and film for businesses around Paris: corporate photography and film.
“The best compliment I can get? ‘We forgot you were even there.’ You get to live your day, and years later, you look back and feel it all over again.”
Maybe you'd love to hear that catch in each other's voices during the vows again, or relive the moment the dance floor went wild.
You want the magic of film, but not a crew following you around all day.
You want to be with your guests, relaxed and fully present. That's why I bring fine art photography and documentary film together, seamlessly.
One artist, one quiet presence, one vision for both your photos and your film.
One artist behind both your photos and your film, helped by a discreet lighting assistant. Never a crew of strangers with rigs and booms. You have room to breathe, and your memories stay genuinely spontaneous.
Same eye, same color grade. Your photos and your film tell your story with the same bright, editorial look.
Pictures freeze time; sound brings it back to life. I record from several sources (vows, live music, laughter) and carefully sync it all in post-production with studio-quality music tracks, so every word comes through crystal clear.
A first chat over coffee, or on a video call wherever you are in the world, in English or French, whichever you prefer.
It's about hearing your story and what you're hoping for, and making sure we're on the same page creatively.
We look at your venue, talk about light and fine-tune the timeline together. You send me the running order for the day, so I'm ready for every key moment.
Letting someone into such a personal day takes real trust. You want someone calm and reassuring, who goes with the flow of your day. Working year-round as an event and reportage photographer means very little throws me.
However fast things move, I blend in.
I capture what matters, calmly and quietly, so you always have a steady presence by your side.
Your story, carefully edited. You receive a beautiful online gallery and the cinematic film of your wedding, and, if you like, a fine art album made to last for generations.
So that every couple gets my full attention, I only take on seven weddings a year.
