English-Speaking Wedding Photographer and Filmmaker Ariège & the French Pyrenees

Capturing authentic, soulful stories amidst the wild beauty of the Ariège. From the rustic charm of historic hamlets to the breathtaking peaks of the Pyrenees, I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography and filmmaking for couples who value natural light, raw emotion and authentic images.

Capturing Your Story in the Heart of the Pyrenees

There is a specific magic to the Ariège. It is the "wilder" side of the South of France—a place of dramatic mountain ridgelines, medieval villages like Mirepoix, and golden hour light that reflects off the Pyrenean foothills.

 

Whether you are planning an intimate elopement overlooking the peaks or a grand celebration in a secluded valley, I focus on the quiet, unposed moments that make your day unique. As an English-speaking photographer based in the region, I help international couples navigate the landscape to find the most epic backdrops for their portraits without the stress of a language barrier.


Having had the pleasure of photographing weddings at Château de Longpré, I am intimately familiar with how the light transforms this historic estate throughout the day. From the soft morning light in the bridal suite to the way the sun dips behind the trees during an outdoor ceremony, I know the hidden corners that make for the most timeless images.

 

If you are hosting your wedding in the Orangerie at Longpré, Château de Roques, or Domaine de Bize or a similar Ariège domaine, you need a photographer who understands the scale of these venues. I work to blend the architecture of the French heritage with the intimacy of your celebration.

A Relaxed, Documentary Approach to photography and filmmaking

My goal is for you to forget I’m even there. No stiff posing. No awkward “look at the camera” moments. I move through your wedding day like a guest with a camera — quietly capturing the laughter, the tears, and the wild dancing under the stars.

For destination weddings in the Ariège, I offer:

 

Full-Day Coverage
From morning preparations to the party — every meaningful moment, beautifully documented.

 

Pre-Wedding Consultation
Via WhatsApp or Google Meet, we’ll go over your timeline, plan the best time for family formals and couple portraits, and — if you choose a photography & videography package — discuss the audio elements I’ll capture throughout your day.

 

High-Resolution Online Gallery
A curated and carefully edited collection of your memories, delivered in a private online gallery that you can easily share with family and friends.

 

All Edited Images Included
Your photographs will be delivered on a custom USB, in both color and black & white — because some moments speak differently in monochrome.

 

 

A Beautiful Wedding Film
Alongside your edited photos, you’ll receive either a highlight film or a documentary edit, so you can relive the entire day for years to come.


Whether you’re dreaming of a mountain-view ceremony beneath the Pyrenees sky or a candlelit dinner in an ancient stone barn, I would love to hear your story.

 

The Ariège has a quiet magic to it — wild landscapes, golden evening light, and celebrations that feel intimate, warm, and deeply personal. If you’re planning to gather your favorite people here, you deserve photographs and film that feel just as honest and timeless.

 

Wedding collections in the Ariège begin at 2100€ for photography and 3400€ for photography & videography. Every celebration is unique, so I create custom proposals based on your plans, your timeline, and the experience you want to create.

 

Tell me about your ideas, the atmosphere you’re imagining, and the kind of memories you want to hold onto years from now. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a full weekend celebration, we’ll create something natural, effortless, and completely you.

 

Let’s create something beautiful together in the Ariège.
