Hello I'm Michael, a Dordogne wedding photographer based in the heart of the French countryside, in the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda. With over 10 years of experience and 250+ weddings photographed across France and internationally, my work has been featured in multiple publications — but honestly, none of that matters as much as the moment a couple sees their photos for the first time.
I came to Sarlat because of love. My partner is from here, and after 16 years together, this beautiful corner of France is now home. I think that's part of what draws me so deeply to weddings — I understand firsthand what it means to build a life with someone, and the profound importance of the moments along the way.

ABOUT

Every wedding is unique & I'm here to capture yours, authentically and beautifully.

Weddings draw me in for every reason — the raw emotion, the connections between people, the creative challenge of getting it just right. Every wedding is different, and that's what keeps me as passionate today as when I started.

My style sits at the intersection of romantic, fine art and editorial: timeless, never dated. I shoot with a natural eye and a quiet presence, drawing on light and composition to make images that feel both cinematic and deeply personal. Your wedding photographs should be as carefully crafted as the day itself — a lasting reminder not just of what happened, but of exactly how it felt.

Your photos do not belong on your phone.

 we believe

Albums and prints are how a wedding is remembered in twenty years.

Wedding photography should be unpretentious.

 we believe

Calm, unobtrusive and about you, not about me.

The details you chose for your day deserve attention too.

 we believe

The flowers, the table, the dress — they carry the story as much as the faces do.
