If you want to know what a shoot day looks like from the inside, this post is for you.
The alarm rings early on wedding day. Since I'm based in Orléans, in the Loiret, I wake up on-site that same morning; when the wedding is further away, I leave the night before, and the adrenaline is already building before the big day even starts.
The gear is prepared the night before, but I double-check everything in the morning: spare batteries, empty memory cards, clean lenses. Nothing is left to chance. My Sony A7S III comes with me to capture every moment.
On the road, I picture how the day will unfold. Preparations start early, often on the bride's side with her bridesmaids — a buzz of excitement I try to capture as naturally as possible. The groom, meanwhile, experiences a different atmosphere, just as authentic to tell.
Then comes the ceremony: guests arrive, anticipation builds, and I work in close coordination with the photographer so no glance or smile is missed, without ever getting in each other's way.
The rest of the day flies by in a whirlwind — vows exchanged, laughter shared, first dance steps — every moment captured with care, because these are memories the couple will keep for a lifetime. Late in the evening, I often take a moment to simply watch and soak in the atmosphere, before saving the memory cards and heading home. What comes next is another story: the edit.
Every new wedding season is prepared well in advance: venue scouting, conversations with couples-to-be, gear tune-ups. It's this preparation that lets me stay fully present on the day, to capture the emotion and tell every love story with accuracy.
