I believe photography isn’t meant to freeze time. It gives time a second life. Each image is a fragile imprint of a moment already gone.

Being a wedding photographer, for me, is more than a job. It’s about translating the invisible: emotions, silences, the electricity of a moment… everything that makes the heart beat.

Weddings fascinate me because they condense life into a single day: chaos, laughter, tears, the unexpected. In that intensity, I find my freedom.

I’m not looking to simply make beautiful pictures. I want to create images that matter. Images that, like a song or a memory, keep on living long after you’ve seen them.

I like not having too much importance on a wedding day. I like being discreet, without a label. Maybe that’s why you’ll find very few photos of me here or anywhere else. It may sound a bit old-school, but I feel better hidden behind my camera than in front of it.

I started out with a D700, back when my style was still being built. Times have changed, and so have I. There was a time when I shot more than forty weddings a year. Today, I keep it to just over a dozen, to preserve my energy and my passion. Because yes, a wedding takes a lot of energy—and I’d rather give it fully than spread it thin.

My forties are well underway, but I still believe age is mostly in the mind, right?

I love noise, I adore silence. I love solitude, I love people.

I love vintage objects, yet I also love technology. A paradox? Probably. But that’s me: somewhere between past and future, between poetry and curiosity.

Enough about me… I’m heading back to the backstage, into the shadows of my camera.

What i love

The little things in life that I love

Facts about me

I speak super fast.

I mostly listen to old stuff (well, almost).

I love working when it’s raining outside, window open.

When I was younger, I had long hair like my idol back then, Kurt Cobain… try to picture that.

I’m a sore loser.

I love making people laugh, even if I can be a bit teasing sometimes.

I hate when people say: “Wow, your camera takes great pictures.”

I’ve never tried (promise…), but I’m pretty sure I could slip into a wide variety of wedding dresses.

All my friends and family call me by a nickname.

I’ve watched some series three times all the way through.

I love leaving the house without my phone, like when I was a kid.

I don’t really need an umbrella anymore.

When I meet someone, I can’t help but look for their best angle, notice the way they blink, and imagine how I would photograph them.
