Destination wedding in Paris – Shangri-La

Posted in France

Endless love and a day to remember – this was my day back in September when I had the opportunity to shoot the destination wedding of Samantha and Cristian in Paris. The couple and most of the guests made their way all the way from Peru for this celebration, a trip well worth though as the wedding was amazing.

Planned and curated by LaFete from Peru and executed by Shagri-La in Paris, it was kinda long distance partnership that worked. We did some things the other way around as the weather was turning, so we had to do the photo shoot before the wedding, I took the couple out for a tour around Paris, to catch some Parisian feels.

Thank you Samantha and Cristian, it was my absolute pleasure being your wedding photographer, and I look forward to seeing you one day.

Heart-warming wedding at home

Posted in France

Amanda and Vincent had an opportunity; being offered their parent’s beautiful French country house as a venue for their wedding. Having many friends and a big family, this happened to be the perfect solution. To celebrate the day, they chose a “tropical” theme. Flamingos, pineapples, palm trees and a swimming-pool were just some of the highlights of the party….

Bilingual wedding at a French Castle

Posted in France

Alexis is American and Vincent French. They dreamt of a small wedding in a big castle. They did a perfect and fun celebration at the beautiful “Chateau de Pranemoux”. Their guests were from both sides of the world, and it was a pleasure as a bilingual photographer to switch from English to French.

A Rainy Bachelorette Party in Naples

Posted in All Weddings, France, Italy

Eight women were traveling from France to Naples to have a bachelorette party in the sunniest place in South Italy.

They were surprised to find a rainy day in a city known into the entire world for its climate.

But it has been a marvelous scenario just because it was different from all the other parties: rain on her day brings the bride a good luck.

They have enjoyed it and me too!

Bucklands Beach and The Rydge Hotel, Auckland

Posted in All Weddings, France, Australia, New Zealand

In front of the magnificent Bucklands Beach in Auckland, Zara and Rom have promised to love and cherish each other forever. It was on Valentines Eve 2015.

They first got married in France where Rom grew up but this second wedding was equally magical. Shiny sunny with a beautiful blue seas background were here to illuminate the bride and groom, their bridesmaids and groomsmen and their smiling guests.

The reception was held at The Rydge Hotel, which has a picturesque view on Auckland city. The bride and groom had planned lots of fun activities for their guests: a photo booth, a happy hour, a delicious dinner and an after party. It was one of the happiest weddings I attended. I wish a lot of love and fun to this amazing couple, Zara and Rom. Click here to see the mini clip video.
